More Cabinet picks expected this week
Updated On: Apr 29 2013 02:24:10 PM CDT
President Barack Obama is expected to make two more additions to his Cabinet this week when he names a commerce secretary and U.S. trade representative, two Democrats familiar with the discussions told CNN Monday.
The likely picks for Obama are Chicago businesswoman Penny Pritzker for commerce secretary and current White House adviser Michael Froman for trade representative, the two sources said.
Pritzker is chief executive of the Pritzker Realty Group and is one of the wealthiest women in America. Forbes estimates her fortune at $1.85 billion, making her the 271th wealthiest person in the country.
She is also a philanthropist and major Democratic donor who acted as the national finance chair of the president's 2008 campaign and a campaign co-chair in 2012.
Froman currently serves as the deputy national security adviser for international economic affairs. In that role he has served as a liaison to the G8 and G20 summits, and advised the president on international finance. He was an executive at Citigroup and a Harvard Law School classmate of Obama.
Obama is expected to nominate Charlotte, North Carolina, mayor Anthony Foxx as his transportation secretary Monday afternoon.

Bisque fired pieces are then glazed and high-fired in an electric kiln. Although these petite dishes are prefect for holding rings and other small jewelry, they also provide a sweet spot to rest your spoon after stirring your morning coffee. Made in the USA.

How To Stop Armpit Sweat
Ok, so you're here to learn how to stop armpit sweat. Well in this article I'm going to talk to you about how you can deal with really bad excessive underarm sweating. I'm not just talking about the little bit of sweat after a hot day, I'm talking about dripping wet sweat that can happen almost anywhere.
Excessive underarm sweating is medically known as axillary hyperhidrosis, and is a condition which causes the sufferer extreme embarrassment. Suffering with this problem is all too common for me because I had this problem for around a decade until I decided to do something about it.
So if you want to know how to stop armpit sweat exactly how I did, then you are going to want to read the rest of this article.
I want to give you a few tips that you can apply right away to lessen your sweat problem first, so check these out. Make sure your underarms are very clean, and at the beginning and end of each day wash thoroughly with an anti-bacterial soap. Also try to avoid high caffeine foods as caffeine can make your body produce more sweat.
These are great starter tips, but I guess you want actual treatment; something that is going to work effectively, right? Well you're in luck! Here are a few treatments that you can go through with to lessen your underarm sweat.
Botox – This is generally used in surgery but is also used in order to block your underarm sweat glands, however this is not a cure, and only a treatment. Some people who have done this procedure often regret doing it because they end up sweating more in order areas.
Iontophoresis – This is one of the oldest methods to stop underarm sweating and excessive sweating in general. Nobody really knows how it works, but many seem to think it has had great effect in reducing their problem. It can cost a lot of money to buy a kit though, so this is not open to all.
Natural Treatments – When I was learning how to stop armpit sweat I wanted something that was going to get to the root of the problem rather than just block the sweat glands for a while. If you want to check out some of the best natural methods around today, then visit "Beat Your Sweating Demons" right away!
This report is packed FULL of natural treatments that you can begin using right away, so don't wait any longer to see what all the fuss is about!

Order in the next 8 hours 18 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
This beautifully designed And So to Bed Musical Mobile will lull your little one fast asleep. They will relax off to sleep with the soothing sounds and enjoy the merriment above their heads. The mobile will look great on any cot as a standalone piece or as part of the And So to Bed room setting.
Our exclusive Baby Weavers brand stands for great quality at a great price. What started out as a line of luxury nursing chairs - at half the competition's prices – has grown into a bestselling range of 250 pushchairs, prams, car seats, furniture and bedding. Loved by customers, loved by colleagues; it has a special place in the Kiddicare heritage as it's named after the children of the founding Weavers family.
Lovely, I have the whole and so to bed range. :)
I bought this because of it's great price. However when it was set up although it looked lovely and matched our neutral theme in the nursery, I found the music to be rather loud, and as someone else described, "Tinny". Also, some of the notes are way off, and clearly out of tune, which is a shame as baby loves it, but it's torture for us adults! I guess we just got a dud one.
this is such a lovely product and i carnt believe the price i know it was on offer when i bought it but its lovely and good quality wow
Looks lovely and coordinates beautifully with the crib set. However, due to the way it's packed, it doesn't look round yet, and after being left to hang for a week it still has yet to take on the right shape. I expect it will eventually! The (wind up) music box element of the mobile makes a nasty tinny noise (but don't they all)! At least it has an on off switch, unlike our other mobile.
Fantastic next day delivery.No waiting around came during the times given speedy and reliable.

Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum comes to the rescue with a completely NATURAL herbal formula that reduces the symptoms associated with stress, depression and anxiety.
The greatest benefit of Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum is the relief of stress – naturally and without a . This innovative gum is superior to a pill because it is absorbed into the bloodstream immediately to give the powerful results you want!
Completely Natural and Effective Ingredients—quick relief without side effects!
Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum contains a unique scientific blend of natural and powerful Jujube Fruit, Passion Flower, Ashwagandha, and Calcium Carbonate.
These healthful ingredients have been used for centuries by the world's indigenous cultures to help relieve stress and relax your body naturally.
It's hard to get the break we need to unwind and de-stress. Now for the first time, you can have the power of the leading natural formula in Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum.
Best of all, Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum leads to none of the harsh side-effects associated with expensive s. Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum requires no and is easily affordable for everyone!
How it Works?
Here's why Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum is your most effective way to calm stressed nerves and promote a sense of well-being naturally!
Each piece of gum contains a revolutionary sustained release system that orally delivers the 120-mg proprietary blend of active ingredients that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. This delivery system relies on micro-sized beads that are released by chewing the gum and are immediately absorbed into the tissue of the lining in the mouth through the capillaries that lie close to the surface. This process allows the supplement to be absorbed within seconds and bypasses the solubility and absorption problems that accompany traditional supplements.
Oral absorption is up to 90 percent effective, allowing your body to utilize all the necessary nutrients. Unlike dietary supplements taken in pill form once a day, chewing the gum constantly bombards your system, relaxing your body, making you feel better, and keeping your breath fresh at the same time. You can enjoy the taste and reap the benefits of the Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum throughout the day.
Conventional capsule or tablet based supplements normally are taken with water and must pass through the digestive system. The tablet method delivers a larger amount of supplement than the body can handle at one time, so the body naturally eliminates a significant portion of it. Natural Burst Nirvana Chewing Gum is ingested without water through the membranes of the mouth, so more of the essential supplement is delivered to and retained in your body.
Ashwagandha is touted for promoting calmness and a sense of well-being. Like the tomato which belongs to the same family, ashwagandha bears yellow flowers and red fruit, though its fruit is berry-like in size and shape
Passion Flower relieves tension, anxiety, and insomnia, due to its calming effect on the central nervous system. Studies conducted since the 1930's indicate that Passion Flower is a safe non-addictive herb that promotes relaxation. It is also mildly effective in treating nervous stomachs and indigestion.
Jujube fruits are considered to have stress alleviating properties. Jujube fruit is used to calm nerves and anxiety. It is a popular stress buster in many parts of the world and also known for its rejuvenating properties. The fruit is also known to purify blood and de-toxify the system. It is considered good for clearing up skin and for preventing heart problems.

Criteria for Selecting Electronic Resources
CSB/SJU Libraries
September 2005
1. The intellectual content of the electronic resource must fit within established parameters of CSB/SJU Libraries' collection development policies, the judgment of the relevant subject bibliographers, and the CSB/SJU curriculum.
2. The Libraries will provide access to the resources that are most central to supporting the academic mission of the institution, including access to the key resources in each discipline for which a major or minor is offered, as well as interdisciplinary resources.
3. Whenever possible, access to the electronic resource must meet these goals:
a. Support remote users of library and information resources
b. Be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
c. Utilize a unified and intuitive interface
d. Be available for an unlimited number of simultaneous users.
e. Be operating system and browser independent
f. Support OpenURL and other common library protocols.
4. The cost of the resource must be sustainable by the electronic resources budget for the foreseeable future.
5. The technology and staff to deliver and support the resource is available at CSB/SJU Libraries.
6. The Libraries will participate in a consortial purchase for a resource when the agreement provides a price advantage over an individual subscription.
7. The Libraries will purchase available backfiles of an electronic resource if affordable and deemed justifiable for the collection.
8. Ideally the vendor (or some other reliable source) provides for archival access to the data.
9. Priority is to be assigned to not-for-profit and society publishers, recognizing our partnership with them in the system of academic and scholarly communication.
10. The Libraries will maintain the stability and consistency of electronic titles offered to the CSB/SJU community whenever possible.
11. The Libraries prefer Web delivery over CD-ROM unless the cost differential between the formats is significant enough to be a factor.
12. The Libraries will not support more than one version of a resource (such as electronic and print) unless there are overriding and compelling reasons for maintaining multiple formats.
13. The vendor should be stable and reliable, and offer technical support.
14. A change of vendors will be considered when a new vendor can deliver a superior search interface, enable greater and more reliable remote access, offer the same product at a significantly lower cost, or provide other key benefits over the current vendor.
15. In the renewal process, consideration will be given to
a. Usage reports
i. Usage will be compared to similar products
ii. If no similar products exist, a general "price per use" will provide basic data
on the value of the resource
b. Centrality of the resource to an academic discipline or the community in general
c. Uniqueness of the resource
d. Alternative scenarios and the effect upon the quality of library service if discontinued.

You can add that thing about HD textures aswell.
I have a number since the beginning of december so I need to create a skin soon.

Nice work. I'll put this in the customs repo and sticky it.
Here are the settings I use for the NVidia Normal Map Filter to convert greyscale images to Normal Maps, hope it helps:

Thank you very much for the tip. I'll try it right now
Thx for the tip

S2 Games: Dedicated employees serving dedicated gamers. Continuous development. Never-ending improvement.
I updated the guide to add the latest experience I gathered from playing with the skins/material.material and from S2Ari's advice and help.
I'm having some trouble with the normal map..
At the moment I'm doing a Nero texture for Witch Slayer and wish to make his hair spiky (I removed his hat) as it is just a round and lifeless semisphere
Yeah, I dont quite understand how the normal map is edited or w/e. How do you get it to the pink color it opens under? do you use the filter just from the color.dds?
edit: the only real difference between the one in the folder and the one created by making the normal map from the greyscale color.dds is the one in the folder has no red channel in RGB.
i think its just the red channel is in the alpha channel for some reason, but thats only in game files probly happens when converting to dds, i think when modding you can just usea normal "normal map" ;f
I updated the texturing guides. more will follow soon.
I wrote a full pdf guide that is better. See first post.
Should be noted that you can also use blender for getting the uv map.
No need to bother S2 artists this way
Might even write a guide for that if I have some free time.
Great guide btw.
Interesting to read.

Viral video is a term that was generated over the last few years. The new way that Miami massage is reaching out to their customer is by Youtube. It basically refers to a short video clip that is posted online and subsequently spreads over a multitude of sites and viewers. You can go on YouTube to see some of orlando locksmith work that they have done in the past. The term going viral means that the video is rising in popularity amongst internet viewers.
Viral videos come in all types and can be funny or downright scary. When carpet cleaning memphis TN open they put a video of their company online for everyone to see. A viral video will no doubt achieve a high popularity amongst viewers because of the internet. Remember that the more views a video gets, the more popular it will be.
Viral videos have been a great change from the days of regular news. It is great because I don't have to tune into the news network to learn something new. My groups of friends are very in tune with the latest viral video.
They will often send me the video while I am online.The CEO of New Braunfels Locksmith like to watch funny videos. See more of their services since they are also locksmiths in San Antonio and love helping people. Call them or visit thier site at http://sanantonio.txpremierlocksmith.com. I love laughing at these videos because it really makes my day go by easier and with less stress. Viral videos are a big part of our culture and are here to stay for the long run.
The other day on youtube I came across this awesome video, by this new company that is starting to sell plus size wedding dresses online. It looks pretty nice, the place is called Say Yes Wedding Dresses and if you or someone you know is planning on getting married soon. So please go check out Say Yes Bridal — an online store.

National Perspective
Few sports expose their stars to the heady cocktail of pressure experienced by pro road racers. The 24/7 media circus riders negotiate in their everyday lives comes with the territory but in what other sport does the pressure ratchet up to such intense levels when an athlete is at the limit of his endurance? In what other sporting arena do baying crowds and banks of photographers press in so closely in the moments when you are fighting for every breath?
The greatest riders flourish in those when lesser rivals are at their most vulnerable, the end of a time trial or the top of a climb, because that is when they show themselves at their most powerful. It is one of the reasons we, as fans, love them.
Another is national allegiance. In some sports, F1 for example, all-powerful trade teams make the relationship between fans and competitors an oblique one. And yet in road racing the opposite is true. The ever-shifting alliances that characterise the pro peloton make a rider's nationality crucial. From the historic passion of the tifosi, imploring their beloved Campionissimo (or Bartali), to the febrile support for Iban Mayo or Joseba Beloki when the Vuelta enters Spain's Basque region, a sense of national heritage is part of a rider's competitive DNA.
The revolving wardrobe of trade team kits means the opportunity for pro riders to wear their hearts on their sleeves, in the form of national colours, are few and far between; the World Championships come round every year, the Olympic Games only every four. It wasn't ever thus. From 1930 until 1961, riders in the Tour turned out for both a national team and in national colours. It was a move instigated by Henri Desgrange, as he sought to eradicate the underhand tactics of early trade teams who regularly plotted to get their man on the podium at any price. National teams in the Tour were as problematic as they were unpopular. The fact riders spent the rest of the season riding for trade teams meant loyalty - or the lack of - was a real issue. Another was the tiny sponsor logos on national jerseys that caused sponsorship revenues to decline dramatically.
Rapha look to celebrate Europe's leading riding nations in all their glory, not just their illustrious history but those characteristics and idiosyncrasies that distinguish one nation from another, and which are best summed up by the riders themselves.

We'll see. Still a full year to worry about that.
I hope so! I made 5 trades in the last two days to build my starting line up. I still have long-term flexibility but less assets after next year.
Wolves would be without a first for two consecutive years.

it says keep 1 of your 1sts doesn't that mean one of his previous trades should of been voided
What it means is no team can go two years without having a first rounder, whether it's their pick or another teams pick.
oh ok then, i'll PM him and find a way to fix it
according to the index the Twolves still have their 2003 1st
He moved it to Los Angeles in a deal. I'm just waiting for me and you to pick before updating.
add it to the rule then please, it doesnt read that way lol
looking for a third team to make this trade legal
whattt, its not a rule though ahah
What a strange Rule that is(teams being forced to have 1st round picks) hopefully busts gets on soon! This would be an easy adjustment
Post the adjustment here and send him a message to approve when he arrives. That may help expedite the process
You could send me Shaq. That'd help.

Oscar winner Ang Lee to direct FX pilot
It's got to feel promising to have a two-time Oscar winner on board to direct your TV pilot.
Such is the case for the team behind FX's forthcoming drama pilot "Tyrant," which has nabbed "Life of Pi's" Ang Lee.
Lee, who won an Oscar for directing 2005's "Brokeback Mountain," earned the same award at the 2013 Oscars with "Pi."
But he's not the only high-profile award winner associated with the project. According to a statement from FX, "Tyrant" is being executive produced by "Homeland's" Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff, who've earned Emmy and Golden Globes love with their Showtime series, as well as by "Lost" and "Six Feet Under" writer/producer Craig Wright.
Written and created by Raff and developed by Wright and Gordon, "Tyrant" follows an American family as its drawn into "the workings of a turbulent Middle Eastern nation." If the pilot goes to series, Wright will be "Tyrant's" showrunner.
This drama pilot will mark Lee's debut as a director on TV - and, as it turns out, it's also his first post-Oscar project.
"The fact that the brilliant Ang Lee has signed on to direct his first project for television speaks to the extraordinary nature of 'Tyrant,'" said Bert Salke, the president of Fox 21, which will produce the show. "Ang Lee, Gideon Raff, Craig Wright and Howard Gordon are master storytellers at the height of their powers, and the material is incredible. We can't wait to get started."
"Tyrant" is expected to head into production this summer.

The problem with Dropbox for me was that it didn't even allow me to buy enough storage space.
I wanted to be able to sync my entire reference files so that I could (1) use it as back up, and (2) reliably access any files I needed.
Google Drive offers much higher capacity (i was using 200GB, and recently upgraded to 400GB).
That said, Google Drive's features aren't nearly as nice as Dropbox - dropbox is just incredibly slick. I love the features like simply right clicking on a file on your desktop and getting a public link to it. To do the same sort of thing in Google Drive takes about 5-10 clicks and about 2-3 minutes. Definitely not 'fast and fun'!
Thanks Victoria. Yes I know Dropbox has upgraded, but the timing wasn't good for me: I was already looking for something bigger when Google Drive came along, and if my memory serves me correctly, it took Dropbox about 3 months to catch up (allow more storage). By then I had migrated my system to Google Drive, and honestly I don't regret it. It's not perfect, but it is adequate. Cheers, Nick
Hi all
I'm using Livedrive here in the UK
I use Google Drive
That's a lot of files, Unless you need access to all of them all of the time I recommend a 2 tier system, one on Dropbox for the current working files and then unlimited storage and up to 10 computer backups on Crashplan.
Other systems are available of course.
It does not have the simplicity of a single system, but if you can distinguish between what's working and what's backup it's very effective.

Steady-State Visually Evoked Potential The steady-state visually evoked potential or SSVEP, is an event related potential generated by the human brain, when visual stimulus applied to the retina in the form of changing patterns or lights frequency causes the brain to synchronize. Wen this happens, that pattern shows up in the brain waves and can be detected by non-invasive neuroprosthetics. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

In a previous article, Are prosthetics Obsolete? Priced out of The Heal Game, we took a look at the state of the prosthetics industry, which is in a state of disrepair due to costs. This article examines one possible solution to the spiraling cost of prosthetics, already being implemented. Emotion is a tricky beast. We still do not fully understand what triggers a given emotion, in terms of the neurochemical signals in the brain, despite several years of study. This is because of the difficulty of determining whether an electrical pattern is triggering an emotional state, or is caused in response to an emotional state. Ongoing research into potential piezoelectric power sources for smart prosthetics turned up a powerful - and deadly - candidate in a polymer that is already used for many cosmetic implants. silicon polymer is a fantastic source of energy when squeezed. However, it also damages the organic cells around it each time this occurs. Race is the enduring, heartbreaking problem of modern, multinational society. No matter the country, no matter the society, if there are people who are visually or culturally different from other people, the race card flares. VR cannot of course sweep all of that away overnight. It can however offer another way, after all, race is all about the physical, and VR is very good at making the physical, not matter.

This location brings home another problem the platform is trying to hide - the steady decline of users.

Impatiens are among the most important bedding plants in the United States, a tried and true performer with spectacular color variety. However, in recent years the greenhouse industry has been challenged by a fungal-like pathogen,Impatiens downy mildew (Plasmopara obducens). Causing premature defoliation and flower drop, over the last few years it has been impacting Europe, especially the United Kingdom, with devastating effect to the marketability of Impatiens there. Beginning in 2008 widespread findings of the pathogen were made in both landscapes and growing operations in eastern parts of the U.S. Fortunately, the industry has been quick to respond. Get the latest science and expert advice on how your growing, landscape or garden retail business should react to this emerging threat.
Boxwood Blight is a new plant disease, first confirmed in the US in October, 2011. It threatens one of our industry's cornerstone crops.

Tart Chocolat
To me, keeping life simple is important. That's why it's been interesting to watch my neighbors make their lives extremely complex. Over the past two years, I've watched them tear down a solid, respectable house and replace it with a nearly 10,000 square foot monstrosity that fits neither the neighborhood nor the land it occupies. Once completed, they proceeded to fill their 4 garages with BMWs and SUVs, outfit the yard with a humongous outdoor kitchen and build an enormous play house for their only child.
Driving past their house at night, we're able to see straight into the window. There, affixed to their wall, is a giant sign paying homage to Henry David Thoreau's immortal words: "Simplify...Simplify." They've clearly missed the irony.
Recently I heard a news commentator ask Warren Buffet, one of the worlds wealthiest men (net worth 62 billion dollars), why he still lives in the same house in Omaha he's had since 1950, why he still drives himself to work in his regular car and why he gives 85% of his salary to charity. His response: "because I'm happy with what I have. I love my wife. I'm healthy. My car runs well. I could have yachts, but they would require a crew and maintaining them would be stressful. I could have a fleet of cars. But would I be happier? I don't think so."
I don't know anyone from any culture who doesn't like nice things but is there a point at which it becomes too much? Is bigger better? What do you think? I'm genuinely curious to hear your take on this subject.
It's in the spirit of simplicity that I baked this chocolate tart. Pure, simple, fudgey goodness.
Tart Chocolat
4 egg yolks
2 eggs
55 g. caster sugar ( or put regular sugar in a blender and turn it on for 30 seconds)
85 g. creme fraiche
330 g. melted dark chocolate, cooled slightly.
1 tsp. vanilla
cocoa powder for dusting
Whisk together egg yolks, eggs and sugar, about 3 minutes until light and fluffy. Incorporate the creme fraiche and the vanilla. Temper in the melted chocolate.
185 g. flour
25 g. cocoa powder
55 g. icing sugar
150 g. cold butter cut into pieces
2 egg yolks
1 tsp of ice water
Add flour, the cocoa and the sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Blend on low. Blend in the butter until small pieces form then add the egg yolks and water. Beat on medium until the mixture comes together. When it is smooth and supple, flatten, wrap in plastic and place in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 355 degrees (180 Celsius). Butter a tart pan and either roll out or press the dough into the pan. Cut the edges and refrigerate 30 minutes. Add pie weights. Pre-bake for 10 minutes.
Lower the thermostat to 320 degrees (160 Celsius). Add chocolate filling. Bake for 20- 30 minutes or just until the top sets. If you allow it to completely puff up it will get dry and crumbly. Do not overbake. Sprinkle with sifted cocoa powder. Store in refrigerator and serve and room temperature.
Finally, you may be wondering, what happened to the neighbors. In short, they can no longer afford the house, they can't sell it and they're trying unsuccessfully to rent it out for colossal sum of money.
Wishing you a wonderful, simple and meaningful holiday!

Sounds delicious! But could you "simplify" and convert grams to cups?
- November 23, 2009 at 3:07 PM
- El said...
Kate, I'm sorry you find grams complex. Rarely do I use cup measurements because they lack accuracy for baking.

The tart is beautiful and the photos are fantastic. I agree that everyone likes nice things but I think a lot of people are a bit overboard. I definitely do not believe bigger is better. Happy Thanksgiving to you!

I feel for you, living in the shadow of a McMansion. People are ruining the neighbourhood where I grew up with these monstrosities and it hurts my heart to see!
I absolutely believe that less is more. Money and 'stuff' is great and it makes life easier but it really is true that it doesn't affect your basic happiness that much. (Though I actually feel that Warren Buffett is a little extreme in his views and choices...) - November 23, 2009 at 3:50 PM
These photos are great. I'm so incredibly inspired by your work!! What do I think about spending? I wish people would remember what's important in life. I can only do my part and I definitely prefer simplicity. Awesome pics! Happy turkey day!!!

- El said...
Thanks everyone for your comments.
Hilary - It's interesting to know that this is happening in the UK too. I thought it was mostly a US phenomenon. I only know a bit about Buffets financial views - definitely no expert. I did, however, find this comment interesting given his billionaire status. - November 23, 2009 at 4:03 PM

This sounds sinfully delicious! Looks wonderful too! Cheers to the simple things in life that makes us happy like chocolate!

This looks amazing, I can't wait to try it (though it will be after the thanksgiving foods are made and enjoyed). There are so many simple delights in life and one of the best is food made with care and savored along with good company. I love that you have so many beautiful recipes including chocolate!

here on the cape (and moreso on the islands) the McMansions are cropping up faster than wasted water. It's sad really because everyone wants to look and have like everyone else. It's almost to the point of everyone looking exactly the same. On and on I go, but what I wanted to say was your tart is fabulous. :-)

This isn't just a US or UK thing either - it's pretty much taken over most of Asia's major cities too. The imperative to earn exponentially more than your parents is very real, and woven into the fabric of social pressures and expectations about what defines 'success'. When I return to Singapore now, after living in the US for the past few years, I feel like I'm walking into a microcosm of materialism, the pressure to consume is so strong that you feel almost inadequate if you don't buy into it.
I know my view sounds pretty harsh, but hey, the truth isn't always pretty. There is definitely a tipping point where adequacy turns into excess and necessity into greed, and I guess its important to distinguish between the two. Which is where McMansion neighbors come in - they help us to realize when too much is really too much.

Yes, I honestly believe less is more, and I have tried to instill that in my children. It's a tough assignment living in Westchester County, NY. I've ensured my children work and save. It's funny that when they are spending their own hard earned money they think twice about the things they need.
I am so glad I found your blog, I am looking forward to visiting often and enjoying your work. Pam - November 23, 2009 at 6:18 PM

first of all, yum! secondly, i am completely with you on choosing the simple life. i find that when we strip down to the basic essentials, we find wonder and appreciation in the everyday objects (and nature) that surrounds us. in my opinion, there is a positive effect from the recession, it has made people more thankful for the they DO have and less fret over that which they don't. warren buffet is doing it right.
merry wishes for a delightful (and filling) Thanksgiving! — Allison - November 23, 2009 at 7:25 PM

THIS looks to die for! and your photography is amazing.
I think your neighbors are hysterical, I live in Orange County California and EVERYONE is just like them. We have lived in the same modest house for 16 years, and plan to have it paid off in 5 to 8 years. We drive regular cars. I made the choice to stay home with our daughter ( she is now almost 16) and have not regretted it a day. We swim upstream in this county!
We are big fans of keeping it simple on all levels.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! - November 23, 2009 at 9:11 PM
I feel the pressure to conform to the type of lifestyle you describe all around me. It drives me crazy because I know I can't afford it but everyone acts like it's "normal." It may be "normal" but it doesn't seem smart and it's not how I was raised. Thanks for discussing such an interesting topic. I love your blog and your photography. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

when I prepare or eat a tarte aux chocolat I always have the same thought: how come something so simple can taste that good?.
It's the chocolate. A true gift of the Gods. - November 23, 2009 at 9:54 PM

El, I love to shop and it's a HUGE HUGE problem!! I got a bit caught up in buying frenzy and bought way, way too much junk on credit last year. You don't even want to know what I spent in makeup I don't wear. Thank god it wasn't a giant house. It's so not worth it. Paying it back is a freaking nightmare. NEVER again!!
I'm baking my Christmas gifts in 2009. One of them will be this beautiful chocolate tart! These pictures are beautiful. I'm drooling! - November 23, 2009 at 10:08 PM

I think it is terrible to watch a nice house torn down, and obnoxious to build a house that doesn't quite fit the neighborhood.
I wish no ill will to your neighbors, but I hope they learned a very hard lesson. - November 23, 2009 at 10:15 PM
You are not alone in the McNeighbor department. My neighborhood in New Jersey has been overtaken and now half of the homes built on spec are in foreclosure! The bubble has to burst to save our trees and neighborhoods. Everything is overbuilt!
To save my sanity I'm going to bake your sensational chocolate tart and enjoy your beautiful pics! - November 23, 2009 at 10:27 PM

I admit it. I'm one of the people in the US who bought a home that is way too big. Why? Family and peer pressure. We're now in foreclosure and filing bankruptcy since my son got sick. It was the stupidest decision we have ever made. The only thing I can do now is comfort myself with your incredible chocolate tart!
- November 24, 2009 at 2:54 PM
Keep it simple. That's my motto. Way too many people in over their heads. Now it's time for the tart. Delicious photos! Happy Turkey Day to you!

I can add that a fourth continent is guilty of the "McMansion phenomenon". Australia. Those big houses are not uncommon here. Not uncommon at all.
But in saying that, when I lived in the Boston area (moving there 10 years ago), there were already massive houses around Needham, Weston, Wellesley area … with four car garage etc. Given how everything exploded since then (but since burst!), I can't even begin to imagine how big they got. I thought they were already outrageous. (I was in 1000 square feet, maximum!)
I agree. Sometimes, a simple tart is all you need. How great is baking?
HAPPY THANKSGIVING. - November 25, 2009 at 9:04 AM
- El said...
It's funny you mention being in Boston 10 years ago. Those were the "good old days" meaning that you had to demonstrate to a bank that you had some money to buy a house. Since about that time they loosened the regulations so that you could "buy" a home with 2-3% down or in some cases no money down. Now they're giving you money back if you buy a home.
The Mc homes did start springing up around the time you were here. However, many of the estate homes in the suburbs were just that - estates. There was nothing "Mc" about them. That is, large homes, quality materials, often with architectural or historic significance on sizable pieces of property. The Mc homes here are twice the size, made with the cheapest materials imaginable, sit on no land and have carbon copies of themselves stacked up against each other.
I had no idea this was such a world-wide phenomenon. I can't tell you how many e-mails I've received about this topic.
The common thread among those who said they bought more than they could afford is that they felt pressure from family and friends.
It's been my experience that people "pressure" others to do things they have done to validate their own behavior so they can be comfortable with their own bad decisions.
A lot of questions are raised. For one, are these "friends" really "friends?" I could go on.
At the very least it validates in my mind the importance of each person deciding for themselves what they think is important in life and then living in accordance with those beliefs and values - regardless of what other people say.
Great discussion just in time for all of that family and peer "pressure" around the Thanksgiving dinner table :>) Enjoy your chocolate! - November 25, 2009 at 10:48 AM
- wasabi prime said...
Sometimes the simple things can have their own innate complexity -- this beautiful tart is I'm sure a symphony of flavor and joy when it's eaten. Per your comments about the race for more "stuff," I agree. I think some people feel the pressure to buy things for status, and not out of true love. I still have the same car I've driven since college, but I do enjoy cooking and sewing, so I find myself awash with oddball gadgets and yards of fabric. If I'm going to complicate things, I figure it may as well be with things I love.

It IS so interesting about Warren Buffet, I agree. I like how he is humble about his wealth and also how that impacts his perspective on people who are not having such an easy time getting by.

I live in the land of plenty. There are people here who are like Warren B., but even more who are tasteless wannabees. Lovely California ranch-style homes are being torn down to drop an enormous monstrosity on a lot that is far too small. The market will support it here, but it's making everything ugly. Whatever charm older neighborhoods once had is rapidly disappearing. I'll take the simple chocolate tart you're offering. It's far more worthwhile than wondering about the difference between authenticity and superficiality. Excellent photos...and love the oval shape of the tart. Very, very nice.

I agree with you totally; as long as I can have chocolate, all is well with the world! (I noticed the Côte d'or brand, good!)
As far as the story about the neighbors, I can relate, in Dallas they have built a zillion McMansions all over the place; at least if these people had a dozen kids each or something! It is a universal tendency though, observed all over the globe. Hilarious the bit about their poster! - March 13, 2010 at 9:54 AM
