Nannys Chocolate Pie 5 Star Family Favorite
Recipe by staceyelee
This is one of the many recipes from my grandmothers cookbook. She passed away in May of 2005 and I am recording her wonderful recipes for my family and the many generations that will follow. I hope you enjoy her recipes as much as we do. I have not made each one yet-so cooking time and servings may vary. Blessings from FOURMRANCHWIFE in Texas
Top Review by puppitypup
SO GOOD! I'm embarrassed to say I had a piece for breakfast the next day. The taste is divine. Edited to say that I made this again last night for hubby's birthday party and all the guests raved about it. This really is the perfect pie! I only keep low-fat milk in the fridge, so I added 2 T of cream. Also, I doubled the vanilla, on accident the first time but every time now since it tastes so good. Also, I make it in the microwave, stirring every 1-2 minutes. Thanks for posting your treasured family recipe Stacey, it's a true 5 star keeper. Please see my rating system as a 5 star rating from me is rare.

It's the performance Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson has been wanting all season.
His best 17 players on the park and a clinical display of goal line defence, tactical kicking and hard running has seen his side demolish a bereft Warriors outfit 46-12 at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Sunday that sets the Sydney side up well for finals footy.
"I have had a question every week for 23 weeks about why aren't we playing good footy," Robinson said in reaction to questions about his side's overwhelming display. "We need to play these games and we need to prove ourselves both away from home on tough road trips like this and at home against teams like Melbourne and Souths."
The Roosters have won four games on the trot now and go into the final two games, against the Storm and Rabbitohs, sitting pretty. Robinson said the ruthless display was a culmination of a good three weeks of play and training.
"I thought we backed up the last three weeks. We were building over that period and we knew that our first big test was going to be coming here, and the position that the Warriors were in. I thought we set up the game well in the first half and then really put it away in the second half.
"We knew we had to start well, and you have got to apply pressure before you get your rewards. You don't set out to have one of those games. You have got a structure and a type of footy that hopefully it will turn out like that, and that's what happened today, but we were ready for going down to the last minute as well."
Robinson said his side was boosted by the return of Sonny Bill Williams and Jake Friend. Williams had, perhaps poignantly, chosen to return to the side from injury while at home in New Zealand.
"Sonny was pushing hard for last week but when he went to the specialist it was a no-go. Sonny had a big trip to Samoa where he did some really good things for the NRL and for Samoa ... and then had to fly back on Tuesday and get on a plane on Friday again. So it was a big week for him. It was up to him whether he played. He could have even had the next two weeks off but he made a call that he wanted to come back this week. For him it's pretty important. It was good to see him back."

When I first saw this survey of Chinese consumers I had to take a step back and wonder exactly "who" did it. Much to my surprise, the WGC (World Gold Council) who is more "anti-gold" than any group or agency that I know of was the culprit. If they say that 25% of Chinese consumers plan to buy 24kt gold or jewelry in the next 12 months…you can bet that the real number is much higher because as long as I've been following gold, the WGC has done nothing but steer people away from it. In my opinion they have consistently underestimated global demand and overestimated global supply since I have followed them.
That said, let's have some fun and do a little bit of math on the back of a "WGC" napkin. OK, so, there are 1.3 billion Chinese citizens and yes I know not all of them can buy even 1/10th of an ounce of gold but let's go from there. 1.3 billion times 25% equals 325 million (about the size of the U.S.). If each Chinese citizen according the survey (25%) were to buy just 1/4 of 1 ounce of gold then approximately 80 million ounces of gold would be taken off of the market (320 million x 1/4 ounce= 80 million). Umm, does the figure "80 million" ring a bell for you? It should, "80 million" is more or less the figure of ALL gold ounces mined in 1 year on the entire planet.

Problem with Isothermal wall boundary condition
I'm running SU2 in hypersonic case. I need use isothermal wall boundary condition. But the option values of ISOTHERMAL_WALL not involve temperature of the wall(just YES or NO). How can I define the temperature of the isothermal wall and export the surface heat flux data?
Hi Harold,
Glad to hear that you're trying out SU2, and thanks for posting your question on the forum.
Starting with version 2.0.4 of SU2, we adjusted the way that one specifies the no-slip wall boundary conditions. As an example, an isothermal wall could now be specified as
% Navier-Stokes (no-slip), isothermal wall marker(s) (NONE = no marker)
% Format: ( marker name, constant wall temperature (K), ... )
MARKER_ISOTHERMAL= ( wall, 300.0 )
where 'wall' is the name of the boundary marker and we are setting the wall temperature to 300 K. By continuing the list with more marker names and temperatures, you can specify different values for any number of markers. Lastly, note that the ISOTHERMAL_WALL option has been deprecated.
Hope this helps,
Hi Tom,
Thanks alot for the reply!
I have tried version 2.06 of SU2 to solve my problem. The flow flied looks good, but the heat transfer data is strange, it is a small negative value anywhere of the flow flied. The range of heat transfer is about 0 to 1E-5. I need the surface heat flux data to compare with experiment result. How can I deal with the strange heat transfer data and get right surface heat flux?
Dear Harold,
While the volume solution file, 'flow.dat' for instance will have mostly zero values for the heat transfer (it is only defined on the surface in the code), the surface solution file, 'surface_flow.dat', file will contain the values directly on the surface. This will be more suitable for post-processing and comparing with experiment.
If you still see weird behavior with the heat transfer, please don't hesitate to let us know.
Hope this helps,

Dear Tom,
I find the differences of heat transfer between volume solution file and surface solution file. As you mentioned, heat transfer values is in the volume solution file except on the solid surface. Though the value of heat transfer on the surface is not zero, but it is very small negative value(about -1E-5 to -1E-8). what's the unit of heat transfer in SU2? Is it w/m^2? Is this problem caused by the unit?
I attach my surface solution file and configure file, maybe these is helpful to solve the problem.
Thanks a lot.

I needed dimensional heat transfer to compare with data, so I made the changes shown below. I don't know if I broke anything else with these changes, but it has been working fine for me. Changes are to solver_direct_mean.cpp
/* tj CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex] = (Cp * Viscosity/PRANDTL)*GradTemperature/(0.5*RefDensity*RefVel2); */
CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex] = (Cp * Viscosity/PRANDTL)*GradTemperature/Area;
Q_Visc[iMarker] += CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex];
/* tj if ((CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex]/Area) > Maxq_Visc[iMarker]) */
if ((CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex]) > Maxq_Visc[iMarker])
/* tj Maxq_Visc[iMarker] = (CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex]/Area); */
Maxq_Visc[iMarker] = (CHeatTransfer[iMarker][iVertex]);
Dear Jentink,
You are right! Your reply is very helpful. Under your advice, I have got the right heat transfer solution and match well with experiment.
Thanks a lot.

How to remove bottom scroll bar from my formAsked by webflunky on May 29, 2015 at 09:55 AM
Underneath the credit card payment form on the right side of this page:
There is a grey bar. It looks like it changes color when hovered over. I have no idea what it is and when I try to inspect the element, I can't find out anything about it, except that it is inside the iframe. In fact, in Firefox, it won't even let me inspect it at all. I don't have any widgets in the form, and the really weird thing is that I have the exact same form on this page:
And there is no grey bar at the bottom.
Can you help me out here?
JotForm Support
I have tested your website and gray bar that you are mentioning is scroll bar.
That is happening because form is responsive and and box where form is located is smaller than the form.
I think that it can be removed by Injecting Custom CSS. Inside of your Form Builder select Setup & Embed tab, then click on Preferences, then select Form Styles tab and inside of Inject Custom CSS field at the bottom of existing code paste this code:
.jotform-form {
overflow: hidden!important;
After adding this code your form should look like this.
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
Yes, that fixed it. Thank you so much.
JotForm Support
You're most welcome.
Please feel free to open a new thread here in the forum if you needed any assistance again.
Thank you.

Sugar Coated Fun
For Private Eyes Only
This is not just a story but real live love
That triggers on emotion that starts with passion and sweets
I can't tell you I have finished when I haven't
I can't tell you I knew what was coming because I didn't
Surprises only make my body temperature rise
I know it was dark and I didn't fear a thing
I first felt a tickle then I tasted something sweet
I will often wonder if this day will ever be repeated
Who knows?
All I can say is I am tongue tied and not quite sure what has happened
My mouth left open wide
Fantasy and romance
Shooting stars on a cloudy sky
What could it be ?
Something very heavenly
That makes my body float
I could swear I was flying
Now I know this is the way I want to go
With a smile on my face and when everything happens simultanously
That a little sugar never hurt anyone
I think you would all agree
I agree. Thank you. By the way, great poem.
Yes - I would whole heartedly agree! Adorable and "sweet" poetry.
Ah - lovely!
Sometimes a little sugar coating can be nice.
A very sweet poem...descriptively, and literally...nicely done:-))

I love to cook all kinds of food but i really really miss eating mexican food and it is impossible to find here so I know I have to get better at making my favorite dishes.
I like all kinds of things but I focus ion the things I can't find here in Europe such as BBQ (brisket/pulled pork) and mexican ( carne asade burritos/fish tacos). My answer to my favorite dish is the same as when I asked Robin last week "what is your favorite dish that your dad makes?". "There are so many but whatever he made this week I loved. This week it is Tarte tatin with pears and onions.
Pretty much anything different than the things i already can make. I use Diane Kennedy's books , so I am always interested in hearing a new way of making something.
Hello, I am an 50 year old San franciscan living for 14 years in Amsteram. I live togehter with my partner hester and our 8 year old daughter Robin. I am a builder and furniture maker and serious home cook.

Flatulence is the expulsion through the rectum of a mixture of gases that are byproducts of the digestion process of mammals and other animals. The mixture of gases is known as flatus, (informally) fart, or simply gas, and is expelled from the rectum in a process colloquially referred to as "passing gas" or "farting". Flatus is brought to the rectum by the same peristaltic process which causes feces to descend from the large intestine. The noises commonly associated with flatulence are caused by the vibration of the anal sphincter, and occasionally by the closed buttocks.

Treasury Management Solutions at European Banks
Treasury Management Systems at European Banks
Celent predicts European spending on treasury systems will surpass EUR 500 million by end of 2004.
In a new report, "Treasury Management Systems at European Banks," Celent examines the treasury management market in Europe and profiles and compares ten vendors of this technology.
The European market for vendor-provided treasury management solutions is evolving as banks are under pressure to control costs and meet new regulatory requirements. More and more banks are considering outsourcing these solutions in order to reduce time to market and increase operational efficiency.
"A few dominant solutions have emerged, but the market is promising for new entrants," says Isabella Fonseca, author of the report. "Costs, open architecture, compliance with local market requirements, product coverage, and integration with existing systems will be important factors for banks choosing vendor-provided solutions."

Boost Communication to Empower Field Technicians
Author: Brian Grzelak
Profitability suffers when one part of a business isn't aware of what another part is doing. Without the right tools, miscommunication rears its ugly head. Best practices are missed. Redundant tasks are created. Ultimately, customers end up dissatisfied. How can business avoid these troubles? Communication and collaboration tools as part of an integrated mobile workforce management solutions.
Field service deals with a lot of "what ifs." For instance, what if one customer requires a special part that a service technician doesn't have in his truck? What if a new technician runs into a problem and needs to contact another technician for assistance? These factors represent only some of the elements that combine to create the five-hour plus appointment times that frustrate customers.
Having an integrated mobile workforce management solution gives customer service representatives access to mobile workers' schedules, so not every call needs to be transferred to a dispatcher for scheduling. By incorporating GPS tracking, mapping, and intelligent scheduling into this integrated application suite, even greater visibility and efficiencies can be achieved. Dispatchers become more accurate at assigning the properly qualified technicians for jobs ensuring the right person in the closest vicinity is sent to a job. The end result is that fewer employees need to speak with customers to schedule appointments or resolve problems. Customers are serviced more quickly and helpdesks and dispatch centers can take care of more customers each day.
Context aware mobile workforce management solutions enable customer service reps, dispatchers, and mobile workers to all have access to the same application. This includes customer information, technicians' skill levels and work schedules, and it's updated in real time. Customer service reps' notes and dispatchers' info are immediately available to the field worker. In turn, customers don't have to repeat the same details they've already told on their initial call.
Through the use of the collaborative knowledge app, field workers can quickly search for and identify troubleshooting advice on difficult assignments. This reduces the time it takes to complete repairs. If a technician discovers he needs a part that's not in his vehicle, he can access an intelligent inventory app and locate the part he needs from the closest vicinity to his current location.
For more details connecting the front office and the field, read our business paper "Eliminating Front Office and Field Workforce Communication Barriers to Improve the Customer Experience." In this business paper, we explore three types of business challenges many service companies face and show how improving the communication among your field workers, dispatchers, and customer service representatives with a mobile workforce management solution can make these problems a thing of the past.

The Chargers signed former Buffalo guard Chad Rinehart.
He is a favorite of scouts. He has started 14 games in the past two years and will likely get a chance to start. The Chargers have two openings at guard with Louis Vasquez leaving for Denver and Tyronne Green being a free agent.
The Chargers signed tackle King Dunlap on Tuesday. He may get a chance start on the right side. The Chargers have holes on the offensive line, but they are, at least, creating competition.
Rinehart played for new San Diego offensive line coach Joe D'Alessandris in Buffalo. The Chargers had interest in Buffalo star guard Andy Levitre, but he signed a high-dollar deal with the Titans. Clearly, D'Alessandris thinks Rinehart, a much cheaper option, can help.
Meanwhile, CBS Sports reports the Eagles are looking at San Diego pass-rusher Antwan Barnes.
Also, San Diego cornerback Antoine Cason is visiting the Cardinals.

Dozens of college coaches waited around with baited breaths, wondering if Kwame Geathers was going to choose their school. The four-star defensive tackle is one of the most dominant defensive players in the South, and Georgia, Tennessee, and UCF were all anxiously awaiting Geathers' decision during his press conference on Friday.
It was considered an open race, with Georgia maintaining a slight lead over the two other schools. Still, no one was in a position to be confident with Geathers' choice, meaning that three collegiate football staffs were awaiting the massive tackle's decision.
So a little after 2:15, with his entire school in attendance, Geathers sat down with three hats in front of him with each hat representing one of his suitors. The young man then gave a genuine speech, thanking those around him for all of their support.
Then Geathers said he would be attending school at…well, he picked up a UCF hat and placed it on his head. For a brief moment, the Knights landed perhaps their biggest recruit since Daunte Culpepper.
That moment of glory was short lived though after Geathers took the hat off, put it on the table in front of him and threw on a University of Georgia hat.
Before I continue, let me throw this out there; this isn't a case of "sour grapes." Obviously, I would have loved for UCF to land Geathers, but that's not what is bothering me here. It's the fact that coaches feed their families by bringing in talented athletes. There are some coaches who specialize mainly in recruiting and to joke about making a decision like that is extremely insensitive.
I'm not trying to put down Kwame or the Geathers family. By all accounts, Kwame is a very well-adjusted young man and is a genuinely good person. The Geathers family has deep football roots and they have certainly become excellent representatives for professional and collegiate football. That being said, I honestly have a problem with what Kwame did.
The "hat move" came off as classless. What the intention was, I'm not sure, but it tugged at the heart-strings of coaches who invested a lot of time and money into recruiting him. I feel bad for any coach that has to watch the dreaded pick-a-hat press conference, but this tradition needs to stop.
A teammate of mine in high school, Recardo Wright, was a two-star linebacker that also did the pick-a-hat press conference, as he chose between Alabama and Florida State. He also put on a hat (Alabama) and then took it off to only throw on an FSU cap. Recardo is a great guy and is extremely down to earth, but I looked down upon that action even then. While it seems funny, is it really worth it? It shows disrespect for the coaches that recruited you, to the players that spent their time with you when you visited campus and again, it comes off as somewhat classless.
So at the end of the day, UCF lost out on a player that it recruited longer than Georgia and Tennessee. The Knights went after Geathers with a lot more effort than the other schools as well, but when it was all said and done, he went with the SEC school. I will never blame a player for that, but playing with people's emotions is something I cannot condone. What made the switching of the hat so difficult to actually see or hear about was that for UCF, it would have been a monumental signing, but for Georgia, it was another solid four-star player to add to the arsenal.
Again, I'm not trying to put down Kwame, but more the entire pick-a-hat spectacle that high school players are becoming accustomed to. I get the reason behind it; it's to get your friends and teammates pumped up at your actual decision. It might impress your piers and those associated with the school that you choose will likely get a kick out of it, but I can guarantee you that for everyone else who invested time and effort in your recruitment that it was anything but funny.

The Scandinavians will welcome back the PSV forward who did not feature in the loss to England as another Eredivisie player comes into the side for their last Group D fixture
The Scandinavians are already eliminated from the tournament after suffering two defeats in as many games and will start with their third different striker against Les Bleus in the form of Ola Toivonen.
Having only just returned from a foot problem, Johan Elmander will not be used as Hamren looks to avoid any unnecessary injuries with his team already eliminated.
Elm also misses out through injury and, having played against England from the left in the previous game, will be replaced by Twente's Emir Bajrami.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic will continue in his role behind the striker and the experienced 35-year-old Anders Svensson holds his position in midfield.
Hamren has elected to maintain the same defence that started the 3-2 defeat to England in their previous game and thus Mikael Lustig is consigned to the bench.
Sweden (4-2-3-1): Isaksson; Granqvist, Mellberg, J. Olsson, M. Olsson; Kallstrom, Svensson; Larsson, Ibrahimovic, Bajrami; Toivonen.

Livingston Parish Sheriff Jason Ard urged senior citizens at a recent Crime Expo to report crimes immediately to his office, including when they think they have been the victim of scam artists.
"We're here to help you," Ard told more than 300 seniors who attended the 18th annual expo at Abundant Life Church on March 8. "If we don't know you've been a victim of a crime, we can't help you."
Ard said seniors in Livingston Parish are sometimes the victims of scams.
"They are targets," Ard said of seniors. "Then they get embarrassed and don't want to report it."
The 2014 Seniors and Lawmen Together, or SALT, Crime Expo featured demonstrations from several vendors, including hospice agencies and representatives from the Council on Aging.
Speakers talked about crimes against senior citizens, health insurance and provided other information crucial for seniors.
Pearl Crowell, 70, of Central, listened attentively to the safety tips.
Crowell, who is attending school to become a medical biller and coder, said she was interested in learning more about Medicare — what it covers and what it doesn't.
"This gives you an opportunity to meet people (vendors) one-on-one," Crowell said.
As free meals were being served to senior citizens, ages 60 and over, Shane Bates, of the Department of Insurance made his way around the room, introducing himself to seniors and providing them with information about Medicare and Social Security benefits. Bates said the Senior Health Insurance Information Program offers free healthcare counseling for seniors.
Toni Johnson, a service representative with the utility company Demco, talked to seniors about the Demco Foundation, a program that collects excess money from customers who agree to round their bill to the next $1. Johnson said the extra money is used to help residents with shelter or medical needs.
She also provided energy saving tips that could help senior citizens lower their utility bills.
Nettie Rudison, of Denham Springs, who turns 60 in August, said she came for the fellowship but learned more about what health care plans are available.
"Instead of sitting at home without anything to do, I came here and learned some things," Rudison said.
In addition to health insurance providers, the expo provided blood pressure checks for seniors, information on the Foster Grandparent Program and more. Seniors also received a free lunch provided by the Livingston Parish Sheriff's Office.

Back When We Were Grownupsby Anne Tyler
Certainly that's how Joe Davitch saw her
An irresistible new novel from Anne Tyler. At 53, Rebecca Davitch- mistress of The Open Arms, a crumbling 19th-century row house in Baltimore where giving parties is the family business-suddenly asks herself whether she has turned into the wrong person. Is she really this natural-born celebrator; joyous and out-giving?
Certainly that's how Joe Davitch saw her 30-some years ago. And that's why this large-spirited older man, a divorce with three little girls, swept her into his orbit. Before she knew it, she was embracing his extended family (plus a child of their own) and hosting endless parties in the ornate, high-ceilinged rooms where people paid to celebrate their family occasions in style.
But can Beck (as she is known to the Davitch clan) really recover the person she has left behind? A question that touches us all-and one that Anne Tyler explores with characteristic humor and wisdom in a novel one wishes would never end.
Editorial Reviews
The book follows the marvelously drawn and complex Rebecca as she retraces and reimagines her past, and as she then turns back to the present. "Wasn't it strange," Rebecca wonders at one point, "how certain moments, now and thencertain turning points in a life&3151;contained the curled and waiting seeds ofeverything that would follow?" What if she'd taken other paths at the forks in her road? What if she had married the man she had been engaged to be engaged to? What if she had been less relentlessly jolly? Back When We Were Grownups is Tyler's fifteenth novel, and she is still not scrimping on wackiness and wit, on sentences of shocking originality, on wisdom. She is still layering on the quirkiness so that she can meticulously peel it back. There's not a flat line in this book, not a single simple character, not a moment that isn't tapped for all its glorious possibilities. There is a party on almost every page, and there is also the party's aftermath. This is storytelling at its best and most breathtaking. Tyler, an acknowledged master of the form, is living up to her well-earned reputation.
Beth Kephart
(Excerpted Review)
–The Miami Herald
"One does not so much read a Tyler novel as visit it. Her ability to conduct several conversations at once while getting the food to the table turns the act of reading into a kind of transport. . . . In a literary landscape that too often mistakes sarcasm for humor and self-reference for irony, an Anne Tyler novel, brimming with the real thing, calls for a toast."

Read an Excerpt
Once upon a time, there was a woman who discovered she had turned into the wrong person.
She was fifty-three years old by then -- a grandmother. Wide and soft and dimpled, with two short wings of dry, fair hair flaring almost horizontally from a center part. Laugh lines at the corners of her eyes. A loose and colorful style of dress edging dangerously close to Bag Lady.
Give her credit: most people her age would say it was too late to make any changes. What's done is done, they would say. No use trying to alter things at this late date.
It did occur to Rebecca to say that. But she didn't.
. . .
On the day she made her discovery, she was picnicking on the North Fork River out in Baltimore County. It was a cool, sunny Sunday in early June of 1999, and her family had gathered to celebrate the engagement of Rebecca's youngest stepdaughter, NoNo Davitch.
The Davitches' cars circled the meadow like covered wagons braced for attack. Their blankets dotted the grass, and their thermos jugs and ice chests and sports equipment crowded the picnic table. The children were playing beside the river in one noisy, tumbling group, but the adults kept themselves more separate. Alone or in twos they churned about rearranging their belongings, jockeying for spots in the sun, wandering off hither and yon in their moody Davitch manner. One of the stepdaughters was sitting by herself in her minivan. One of the sons-in-law was stretching his hamstrings over by the runners' path. The uncle was stabbing the ground repeatedly with his cane.
Goodness, what would Barry think? (Barry, the new fiancé.) He would think they disapproved of his marrying NoNo.
And he would be right.
Not that they ever behaved much differently under any conditions.
Barry had a blanket mostly to himself, because NoNo kept flitting elsewhere. The tiniest and prettiest of the Davitch girls -- a little hummingbird of a person -- she darted first to one sister and then another, ducking her shiny dark cap of hair and murmuring something urgent.
Murmuring, "Like him, please," maybe. Or, "At least make him feel welcome."
The first sister grew very busy rummaging through a straw hamper. The second shaded her eyes and pretended to look for the children.
Rebecca--who earned her living hosting parties, after all--felt she had no choice but to clap her hands and call, "Okay, folks!"
Languidly, they turned. She seized a baseball from the table and held it up. No, it was bigger than a baseball. A softball, then; undoubtedly the property of the son-in-law stretching his hamstrings, who taught phys ed at the local high school. It was all the same to Rebecca; she had never been the sporty type. Still: "Time for a game, everybody!" she called. "Barry? NoNo? Come on, now! We'll say this rock is home plate. Zeb, move that log over to where first base ought to be. The duffel bag can be second, and for third . . . Who's got something we can use for third?"
They groaned, but she refused to give up. "Come on, people! Show some life here! We need to exercise off all that food we're about to eat!"
In slow motion they began to obey, rising from their blankets and drifting where she pointed. She turned toward the runners' path and, "Yoo-hoo! Jeep!" she called. Jeep stopped hugging one beefy knee and squinted in her direction. "Haul yourself over here!" she ordered. "We're organizing a softball game!"
"Aw, Beck," he said, "I was hoping to get a run in." But he came plodding toward her.
While Jeep set about correcting the placement of the bases, Rebecca went to deal with the stepdaughter in the minivan. Who happened to be Jeep's wife, in fact. Rebecca hoped this wasn't one of their silly quarrels. "Sweetie!" she sang out. She waded through the weeds, scooping up armfuls of her big red bandanna-print skirt. "Patch? Roll down your window, Patch. Can you hear me? Is something the matter?"
Patch turned and gazed out at her. You could tell she must be hot. Spikes of her chopped black hair were sticking to her forehead, and her sharp, freckled face was shining with sweat. Still, she made no move to open her window. Rebecca grabbed the door handle and yanked it--luckily, just before Patch thought to push the lock down.
"Now, then!" Rebecca caroled. "What's all this about?"
Patch said, "Can't a person ever get a moment of peace in this family?"
She was thirty-seven years old but looked more like fourteen, in her striped T-shirt and skinny jeans. And acted like fourteen, too, Rebecca couldn't help thinking; but all she said was, "Come on out and join us! We're starting up a softball game."
"No, thanks."
"Pretty please?"
"For Lord's sake, Beck, don't you know how I hate this?"
"Hate it!" Rebecca cried merrily, choosing to misunderstand. "But you're wonderful at sports! The rest of us don't even know where the bases go. Poor Jeep is having to do everything."
Patch said, "I cannot for the life of me see why we should celebrate my little sister's engagement to a -- to a -- "
Words appeared to fail her. She clamped her arms tight across her flat chest and faced forward again.
"To a what?" Rebecca asked her. "A nice, decent, well-spoken man. A lawyer."
"A corporate lawyer. A man who brings his appointment book to a picnic; did you notice his appointment book? Him and his yacht-looking, country-club-looking clothes; his ridiculous yellow crew cut; his stupid rubber-soled boating shoes. And look at how he was sprung on us! Just sprung on us with no warning! One day it's, oh, poor NoNo, thirty-five years old and never even been kissed so far as anyone knew; and the next day -- I swear, the very next day! -- she pops up out of the blue and announces an August wedding."
"Well, now, I just have a feeling she may have kept him secret out of nervousness," Rebecca said. "She didn't want to look foolish, in case the courtship came to nothing. Also, maybe she worried you girls would be too critical."
Not without reason, she didn't add.
Patch said, "Hogwash. You know why she kept him secret: he's been married once before. Married and divorced, with a twelve-year-old son to boot."
"Well, these things do happen," Rebecca said drily.
"And such a pathetic son, too. Did you see?" Patch jabbed a thumb toward the children by the river, but Rebecca didn't bother turning. "A puny little runt of a son! And it can't have escaped your notice that Barry has sole custody. He's had to cook for that child and clean house, drive the car pool, help with homework . . . Of course he wants a wife! Unpaid nanny, is more like it."
"Now, dearie, that's an insult to NoNo," Rebecca said. "Any man in his right mind would want NoNo for her own sake."
Patch merely gave an explosive wheeze that lifted the spikes of hair off her forehead.
"Just think," Rebecca reminded her. "Didn't I marry a divorced man with three little girls? And see, it worked out fine! I'd be married to him still, if he had lived."
All Patch said to this was, "And how you could throw a party for them!"
"Well, of course I'd throw a party. It's an occasion!" Rebecca said. "Besides: you and Biddy asked for one, if I remember correctly."
"We asked if you planned to give one, is all, since you're so fond of engagement parties. Why, Min Foo's had three of them! They seem to be kind of a habit with you."
Rebecca opened her mouth to argue, because she was almost positive that Patch and Biddy had requested, in so many words, that she put together a picnic. But then she saw that she might have misinterpreted. Maybe they had just meant that since they knew she would be planning something, they would prefer it to be held outside. (Oh, the Davitch girls were very unsocial. "I guess you're going to insist on some kind of shindig," one of them would sigh, and then they would show up and sit around looking bored, picking at their food while Rebecca tried to jolly things along.)
Well, no matter, because Patch was finally unfolding herself from the minivan. She slammed the door behind her and said, "Let's get started, then, if you're so set on this."
"Thank you, sweetie," Rebecca said. "I just know we'll have a good time today."
Patch said, "Ha!" and marched off toward the others, leaving Rebecca to trail behind.
The softball game had begun now, at least in a halfhearted way. People were scattered across the meadow seemingly at random, with Rebecca's brother-in-law and Barry so far off in the outfield that they might not even be playing. The catcher (Biddy) was tying her shoe. The uncle leaned on his cane at an indeterminate spot near third base. Rebecca's daughter was sunbathing on first, lounging in the grass with her face tipped back and her eyes closed.
As Patch and then Rebecca came up behind home plate, Jeep was assuming the batter's stance, his barrel-shaped body set sideways to them and his bat wagging cockily. NoNo, on the pitcher's mound, crooked her arm at an awkward angle above her shoulder and released the ball. It traveled in an uncertain arc until Jeep lost patience and took a stride forward and hit a low drive past second. Hakim, Rebecca's son-in-law, watched with interest as it whizzed by. (No surprise there, since Hakim hailed from someplace Arab and had probably never seen a softball in his life.) Jeep dropped his bat and trotted to first, not disturbing Min Foo's sunbath in the least. He rounded second, receiving a beatific smile from Hakim, and headed for third. Third was manned by Biddy's . . . oh, Rebecca never knew what to call him . . . longtime companion, dear Troy, who always claimed it was while he was fumbling a pop-up fly at age five that he first realized he was gay. All he did was wave amiably as Jeep went trundling past.
By that time, Barry had managed to locate the ball. He threw it toward Biddy, but she was tying her other shoe now. It was Patch who stepped forward to intercept it, apparently without effort. Then she turned back to home plate and tagged her husband out.
Patch and Jeep might have been playing alone, for all the reaction they got. Biddy straightened up from her shoe and yawned. NoNo started clucking over a broken fingernail. Min Foo was probably unaware of what had happened, even -- unless she'd been able to figure it out with her eyes closed.
"Oh," Rebecca cried, "you-all are not even trying! Where is your team spirit?"
"For that, we need more than one side," Jeep said, wiping his forehead on his shoulder. "There aren't enough of us playing."
To Rebecca, it seemed just then that there were far too many of them. Such a large and unwieldy group, they were; so cumbersome, so much work. But she said, "You're absolutely right," and turned in the direction of the river. "Kids!" she called. "Hey, kids!"
The children were hopping in an uneven line a good twenty yards away, beyond a stretch of buzzing, humming grass and alongside flowing water; so at first they didn't hear her. She had to haul up her skirt again and slog toward them, calling, "Come on, everybody! Come and play ball! You kids against us grownups!"
Now they stopped what they were doing (some version of Follow the Leader, it seemed, leaping from rock to rock) and looked over at her. Five of the six were here today -- all but Dixon, the oldest, who'd gone someplace else with his girlfriend. And then there was Barry's son, what's-his-name. Peter. "Peter?" Rebecca called. "Want to play softball?"
He stood slightly apart from the others, noticeably pale-haired and white-skinned and scrawny in this company of dark, vivid Davitch children. Rebecca felt a tug of sympathy for him. She called, "You can be pitcher, if you like!"
He took a step backward and shook his head. Well, no, of course: she should have offered him the outfield. Something inconspicuous. The others, meanwhile, had broken rank and were starting toward her. "Not It, not It," the youngest child was chanting, evidently confused as to what softball was all about. Patch and Jeep's three (wouldn't you know) were vying to be first at bat. "We'll draw straws," Rebecca told them. "Come on, everybody! Winning team gets excused from cleanup after lunch."
Only Peter stayed where he was. He was balanced on a low rock, alert and motionless, giving off a chilling silence. Rebecca called, "Sweetie? Aren't you coming?"
Again he shook his head. The other children veered around her and plowed on toward the playing field, but Rebecca gathered her skirt higher and pressed forward. Long, cool grasses tickled her bare calves. A cloud of startled white butterflies fluttered around her knees. She reached the first rock, took a giant step up, and leapt to the next rock just beyond, teetering for a second before she found her footing on the slick, mossy surface. (She was wearing rope-soled espadrilles that gave her almost no traction.) So far she was still on dry land, but most of the other rocks -- Peter's included -- turned out to be partly submerged. This meant that the children had been disobeying instructions. They'd been warned to stay away from the river, which was unpredictably deep in some spots and wider than a two-lane highway, not to mention icy cold so early in the season.
Peter kept as still as a cornered deer; Rebecca sensed that even though she wasn't looking at him. For the moment, she was looking at the scenery. Oh, didn't a river rest your eyes! She sank into a peaceful trance, watching how the water seemed to gather itself as it traveled toward a sharp bend. It swelled up in loose, silky tangles and then it smoothed and flowed on, transparent at the edges but nearly opaque at the center, as yellow-green and sunlit as a bottle in a window. She drifted with it, dreaming. It could have been a hundred years ago. The line of dark trees on the opposite shore would have looked the same; she'd have heard the same soft, curly lapping close by, the same rushing sound farther off.
Well. Enough of this. She tore her gaze away and turned again to Peter. "I've got you now!" she told him gaily.
He took another step backward and disappeared.
For a moment, she couldn't believe what had happened. She just stood there with her mouth open. Then she looked down and saw a turmoil in the water. A small, white, big-eyed face gulping air and choking. A frantic snarl of thin, bare, flailing arms.
She jumped onto the rock he'd been standing on, skidding slightly and bruising an ankle. She plunged in waist deep and gasped. (The water was so cold it burned.) First she grabbed Peter's wrist but lost it. Then she clutched blue denim. She hitched him up by the seat of his jeans and found the time, somehow, to consider how absurd this must look: a middle-aged woman plucking a boy from a river like a sack of laundry, hoisting him aloft for one split second before her muscles registered his weight and they both went under. But she still had hold of him. She kept her grip. She fought to thrust him above the surface even while she was half sitting on the bottom. Then she was up and struggling shoreward, stumbling and falling and rising and staggering on, hauling him by his armpits. (A good thing he was so undersized or she never could have managed, adrenaline or no.) Between his coughs now he was drawing huge, rough, scraping breaths, and once or twice he gagged. She dragged him in a bobbling way across the rocks to the grass, where she dropped him. She bent double to clear her head and noticed, in that position, how her skirt was streaming with water; so she collected a handful of hem and wrung it out.

"Back When We Were Grownups" is not a new book. It was first published in 2001, made into a Hallmark Hall of Fame movie in 2004 and just recently I happily came across it. This is Anne Tyler's 15th book, however I'd never heard of her. I'm glad I picked this book up because it really makes the reader think about what would have happened had they taken a different path with their lives than the one they ended up choosing. Rebecca is a 53-year-old mother of four daughters and many grandchildren. She runs an in-home business hosting and catering parties for people in the Baltimore area. She inherited this business from her late husband, and she's not sure she even enjoys the work any longer. She certainly realizes the house that she lives in, the same house where the parties are hosted, is getting more run down by the day and something will have to be done about it soon. When Rebecca starts having a recurring dream of spending time with a young blonde-haired boy whom she strongly feels is her son, she mentions it to one of her daughters. The daughter tells Rebecca that she must be dreaming about the other path her life could have taken, and it must have included having a son. This idea gets Rebecca thinking about the point in which her life made a dramatic turn. She was in college, dating her life-long sweetheart Will, when she attends a party. During the course of the evening, the party's host, Joe, comes up to her and asks if she's enjoying herself. Rebecca takes one look at Joe and an immediate bond forms. The fact that he is thirteen years her senior and has three young daughters, nor the fact that Rebecca has a man she plans on marrying back at school doesn't seem to matter to either of them. After a short courtship, Rebecca leaves Will abruptly and marries Joe just a few weeks later. However, Rebecca and Joe's marriage does not last long. He is killed in a car crash just six years after they marry and Rebecca is left with the party hosting business and, now, four young daughters. She manages to live life, carrying on the family business, eventually turning into the matriarch of a large, eclectic family, until one day she is fifty-three years old and dreaming of a whole other life she could have had. On a whim, she decides to hunt Will down and see where he is at in life. After a rocky start, the two decide to spend more and more time together. Although Rebecca is very busy with the business and busy trying to manage all the family members and their various needy issues, she decides she does have time to have a life of her own after so many years of only doing things for other people. The idea that everyone has a life they could have had, completely different than the one they have now is very interesting. It is an idea that I'm sure everyone can relate to. We have all made deliberate choices that have turned out great or not so great. But for Rebecca, getting a chance to go back and have a do-over is a cool idea that most people don't get to, or don't want to do.
I have heard good things about this author. This is the first of her books I have read. Apparently I chose the wrong one.She must be 'famous' for her other works because this story was depressing and pointless. I have never seen more boring characters.
This was my first Anne Tyler book, and will probably be my last. I finished it only because I can't stand to put a book down in the middle. The main character, Rebecca, was a whiny middle-aged woman who, instead of being grateful for what she had, was constantly wondering 'what if?' Now, I know we all wonder that at times, but enough is enough. When she does finally retrace her steps, leading her back to her high school sweetheart, nothing new happens, no epiphany of what could have been. Her step-daughters and her biological daughter are some of the most annoying characters that I have ever encountered. They are hateful, unappreciative, neurotic, and self-absorbed. This story left me with the feeling that I just wanted to smack them all and tell them to get a real life!
Maybe it's just that people in my age range can't relate w/the mid-life crisis 'drama' staged in this novel. While it flows well, it was boring. Nothing of substance seems to happen at all, no suspense, no thrills, no whitty banter. At best, it showed the difficulties of being broken up w/twice, heartache, uncomfortable situations. Yes, matriachs deserve appreciation for their efforts in maintaining some form of family harmony, but good god, could it be more mundane????? I recommend to skip it altogether. Sorry Anne, better luck next time.
I've never been much of an Anne Tyler fan, but they keep assigning her books in reading groups. Except for the first and last chapter, this is the most interesting Tyler work that I've read so far. The last chapter, however left me so disappointed that I wondered what the point was. [The story is amply recapped in other places, so I won't repeat it.] The first chapter reminded me of 'Can this marriage be saved?'. I kept imagining a counselor talking to the family members about the need to discuss expectations and what they really wanted and needed from one another. It was certainly easy to see why finding oneself with such a collection of unpleasant relatives would make Rebecca wonder where she went wrong. I was sympathetic to her attempts to figure out how else things might have gone and might yet go. I found much of this very true and funny and read it with great interest. Unfortunately, the ending was disappointing. Tyler left a lot of ends hanging; did she intend this to be a clever expression of ambivalence or was it just sloppy writing? Rebecca has by no means exhausted her possibilities, but I don't think we are to believe that she will continue to pursue them. I THINK that the end was supposed to be a dissolution of the tensions that had driven Rebecca, but really, nothing has been resolved. It reminds me of a television episode where one is supposed to believe that three minutes of discussion reconciles thirty years of misunderstanding and they lived happily ever after.
If yoiu are an older woman and sometimes wonder what life would have been like had you choose a different path, then this book is for you. Wonderful charecters - Anny Tyler really weaves a good tail. I am a reader and this is on my top 100 books list.
This was probably the most boring book I have ever read. I kept reading it, hoping that something would happen. I only finished it because I can't bear to leve a book half finished. I usually keep my books, but I donated this one to a cooperative shelf. It was my first Anne Tyler book, and I'm sure the last.
This book was just ok. It left me wanting more of a story, a better ending, It left me without closure, though I loved the characters and the voice of Blair Brown.

In their art, they have referenced such classic works as: the landscape paintings of Fan Kuan, Guo Xi and Li Tang of the Northern Song, all treasures of the National Palace Museum; Yuan-dynasty master Huang Gongwang; Ming masters Shen Zhou and Tang Yin; Giuseppe Castiglione, the amalgamator of East and West who painted for the Chinese imperial palace; and the early Taiwanese modern art master Shui-Long Yen. Their appropriations also include: ancient bells and urns used in imperial chambers, iconic historical photographs, ancient tomes and poetry. Based on the subject matter of the appropriated works, the exhibition is divided into seven categories, harkening back to the classification system of dynastic China: Landscapes; Taoism and Buddhism; Human Figures; Tales of the Mysterious; Calligraphy; Flowers, Birds and Beasts; and Photographic Images. In this way, it examines the intentions of contemporary artists in appropriating these classic works, and the ways in which they have refashioned the past.
In Taiwan of the 1960s, the influential art forms arriving from the West were predominantly abstract and conceptual art. It was not until the 1990s that Western Dadaism and Warholian pop art began to have a significant impact. After the end of martial law in 1987, the pace of democratization in Taiwanese society quickened, and social attitudes gradually opened up. This was reflected in art with a broadening of thought and diversification of creative elements and subject matter. In "postmodern" society with its commercialization and mass reproduction of images, "classic works" and literary narratives became disengaged from their cultural contexts, losing their functions as palace decorations and sources of enlightenment. No longer was art the symbolically expressive, elite works of the traditional humanities. It had moved from the refined, gentrified classes of the past to the popular culture of today.
For the contemporary age, these classic works present richly beautiful, powerful images and a sense of mystery engendered by distance in time. Yet unlike dynastic-era artists whose imitations were based on the foundation of "reverence for antiquity," these famous works, after having undergone mass reproduction, ceased being rarely glimpsed works of the imperial court and became "images" that anyone could behold or obtain at a moment's notice. They had even lost the textures and brushstrokes of the original, existing in a "flattened" state. Ruminating on local history, cultural values and identity, Taiwanese contemporary artists made use of those artworks that once adorned imperial power and symbolized the tastes of the literati class, engaging in a dialogue with their own history and culture, disassembling, reassembling, re-creating and altering the styles and subject matter of classic works through symbolic or allegorical images in order to enunciate their views on the present-day state of affairs through simile or metaphor. These include: consideration and breakthroughs in aesthetics and forms of expression; criticism of the current state of Taiwanese society, history and culture; voicing of their own inner ideal worlds and feelings about life; and the transformation of the artistic tastes of the past to a popular, commercial aesthetic more closely oriented toward everyday life. At the same time, as contemporary artists re-examine and re-create classic works of the past, they also re-accentuate and rediscover the artistic accomplishments of the past in light of new definitions and the perspective of art history. As artists refabricate the past, amid this convergence of dual-directional observation, discovery, transformation and original creation, they yield a wealth of meaning and limitless possibilities of expression in the contemporary era.

Verizon Moto Z, Z Force Droid price reveal date has been set
It has almost been a month since Lenovo and Motorola revealed their love child, the Moto Z, but it will still be months before the market actually gets their hand on one. That is, unless they happen to be one of Verizon's subscribers. Perhaps as part of its close ties with Motorola, Verizon is getting a big head start. The Verizon branded Moto Z Droid and the Verizon exclusive Moto Z Force Droid are set to reveal their prices next week, and it is likely that pre-orders will start soon afterwards, if not on the same day.

Comments about Frederic Fekkai Wash And Wear Instant Shampoo Spray:
Having tried and fallen in love with countless Frederic Fekkai products, I really got my hopes up about this "shampoo". Afterall, who doesn't want to avoid greasy looking hair when they just can't squeeze in a couple of minutes for a shower? So, with second day hair, and this bottle of Wash and Wear Instant Shampoo Spray as my weapon, I thought I could skip the post workout shower at the gym. Spritz, spritz, spritz, and nothing. Nothing but more than it started greasy hair. So I was left with damp, greasy, flat hair. Great. Maybe if I let it dry or blow-dry it it might work. No such luck. This product just stunk. One upside? The scent is amazingly delicious. Imagine what concoction of sun tanning lotion and coconut would smell like and this is what you get.
This product left my hair worse off than it was pre-application.
The scent is amazing, but it still can't make up for how much of a dud this product was.

Twitter and other forms of social media have exploded in popularity and there are many tools that have cropped up to help anyone monitor this activity. You can use these tools to help track keywords based on a hobby, interest, or your business.
I've used Topsy to search historical tweets, Tweetdeck for real time monitoring, and RSS feeds of keyword activity. I've had a hard time finding a reliable email notification tool for monitoring a keyword(s) on Twitter. That all changed when If This Then That launched.
If This Then That (http://ifttt.com) is a platform that allows you to create tasks based on actions in web-based services you use. So you can tell Twitter to save one of your favorite tweets to Evernote, or post pictures from Instagram to Facebook. Maybe you don't use all of those services and you're scratching your head as to how this can help your business. I've got a simple recipe to share with that will send you an email every time someone mentions a keyword you'd like to track.
First you need to create an ifttt account. Next you'll need to activate your Twitter channel. To do this you'll need to sign in to your Twitter account or you can create a new one. Once your Twitter channel is active go to this ifttt recipe, enter the keyword you'd like to track, create task, and repeat as needed.
A couple of details to note. ifttt will run this task every 15 minutes, so don't expect real-time notifications in your inbox. It will send a maximum of 15 emails every time it runs. I personally use this task as a way to keep a copy of messages that mention AppRiver. Tweets that are more than a couple of weeks old don't appear in Twitter search results and this allows me to easily search a folder for any tweets I need to reference.
Here's a handy 5 step guide to help you set this up or share with your friends to help them complete these steps.
ifttt is just one of many tools you can use to monitor keywords, so feel free to share your favorite method in the comments. I'd also love to hear about any of your favorite ifttt tasks/recipes.

LAFAYETTE — Now that Mark Cockerham has stepped down from his School Board seat, the two women who challenged his residency status want to dismiss their lawsuit against him. But Cockerham still wants his day in court.
Cockerham wants to move forward with the scheduled Oct. 20 hearing on the lawsuit and his requests that the court sanction Nancy Cech and his opponent in the upcoming Nov. 4 election, Dawn Morris, for filing it.
In court filings, Cockerham claims that the two women improperly filed the suit and that Morris, specifically, did so for an "improper political purpose."
Cockerham announced his resignation as a District 7 board member on Tuesday — a day after he received notice from Assistant District Attorney Jay Prather that he should vacate the seat within 10 days or face a lawsuit filed by the DA's Office.
Cech, a former school administrator, filed the lawsuit in district court in early September challenging Cockerham's current position on the board because he had moved out of District 7 and into District 9, based on district maps that remain in effect until January 2014.
Morris, who is an attorney, joined the suit a week later.
New redistricting maps, which take effect in January 2014, place Cockerham's address in District 7 — so Cockerham is qualified to run for the District 7 seat.
However, he must vacate the seat for the remainder of his current term.
The women's attorney, Bill Goode, filed papers Wednesday seeking to have the suit dismissed. Cockerham's attorney said he contested the dismissal because the court still needs to address Cockerham's requests for sanctions against the women.
"Mr. Cockerham did the right thing. He resigned, which is what he should have done a long time ago," Goode said. "That issue is moot. It's over. There's nothing else to fight about."
The request for sanctions is based on Article 863 of the Louisiana Constitution, which states that pleadings filed by an attorney or party must be grounded in fact, warranted by existing law and "not interposed for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation."
Gary McGoffin, Cockerham's attorney, said Morris and Cech had no right to bring the suit over Cockerham's residency.
"State law provides that the DA bring that suit," McGoffin said in a telephone interview. "It is not a private right of action. What's the consequence to Mark Cockerham that he was named in a lawsuit that they did not have a right to bring?"
McGoffin also challenges whether Cech wrote the lawsuit and suspects that Morris drafted it for her. Initially, Cech filed the suit on her own without an attorney. Goode's representation began after Morris joined the lawsuit.
"There's an ethical prohibition for attorneys to ghostwrite proceedings, and that's what Nancy Cech did," McGoffin said. "Nancy Cech did not write that petition. It was written by an attorney. We want to find out who did that."
Goode said McGoffin's request for sanctions is "patently frivolous."
He said Cockerham's assertions about whether Cech wrote the lawsuit is a "red herring" and that "Cech had a right to challenge Mr. Cockerham's hanging on to that seat when he didn't have a right to do so."
In court filings, Goode said the section of the Louisiana Constitution McGoffin referred to "is intended only for exceptional circumstances and is not to be used simply because parties disagree as to the correct resolution of a legal matter. … Failure to prevail also does not trigger a sanction award."
State law identifies the district attorney as the proper official to bring suit against an office holder who no longer meets residency requirements, McGoffin wrote in court filings.
"In filing this lawsuit, Dawn Morris and her allies have forever burdened Mr. Cockerham with a public record lawsuit which they had no right to file," McGoffin wrote. "As a result, Mr. Cockerham will have to address that lawsuit now and in the future every time he prepares a bank financial statement, employment or credit card applications, or even casual conversation."
The suit also has been a distraction in the upcoming election, drawing voters attention "to a lawsuit that Dawn Morris had no right to bring. Simply dismissing this lawsuit will not cure the harm done," McGoffin wrote.
Cockerham was initially appointed to the School Board in 2007 to fill the District 7 seat following the death of longtime board member David Thibodaux. He won the special election unopposed and won re-election in 2010.
In addition to his public announcement of his resignation made Tuesday, Cockerham must file official notice that he vacated the seat with the Louisiana Secretary of State's Office, which will in turn notify the School Board of the vacancy. Based on state law, the board has 20 days to fill a vacancy.

It's no secret that I think Chicago has a big leg up on NYC in terms of livability and beauty and well, everything, but there are two things I would love to be in New York for this week.
First is Buka Sessions, a new bi-weekly Happy Hour event at Brooklyn's newest Nigerian resto and bar. The party is hosted by Freeform+Deform, a design and architecture collective that my frequent blog subject and brother-in-law Lekan is part of, and it looks like a very good time. Go and have a beer for me this Friday, why dontcha?
You also have-have-have to check Lek's Tumblr and then head over to the Freeform+Deform blog for more design goodness. I love this post on the table the gentlemen from FF+D made from scratch. Isn't it gorgeous? Look at the shine! The white sides! I need it in my life.
