Canvas Print
Gossby Gina Pierik Hendry
Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.
Such stunning pieces, Gina, congrats!
Gina, your paintings are extraordinary! Your subjects are haunting ~ their milky, dazed look renders a confusion: as if they haven't figured out they've succumbed to some awful, premature accident - robbing them of youth and innocence. [at least that's how I see it!]. Best of luck with school!
gorgeous work you have!! well done!
I must say, your style is just incredibly captivating. The muted color palettes work well with the sense of confusion and struggle that seems to glow from your pieces. This one especially drew my eye. Very nice!

I'm on 4.04 (I can never keep track of the name, numbers are easier for me to keep track of). Anyway, the connection worked fine with my old Vibrant. With my new SGS2 when I get a call & press the "connect" button on the steering wheel, it disconnects the call. Is there a setting that I'm missing that could be affecting it?

Girls Play Games: Spooky Edition
Hopefully, my fellow Suburban Gamer, you have already followed our
Facebook page
. No? That's OK. Well I would only assume you keep an eye on us over at our
Twitter account
What did you say? NO?!?!
Well. I'm sorry to say you then missed out on some of the greatest content Suburban Gamers have produced so far. It was a miniseries simply titled Girls Play Games: Spooky Edition, and boy was it a blast.
The premise is simple: we got girls to come over and play video games. Scary video games (ergo "Spooky Edition". Pretty clever, huh?). We wanted to start the series off with a bang so the immediate thought was to pick the Wii horror classic:
Obviously there was some misdirection on my statement above. We can all agree that this game is nothing but a pile of quick jump-scares and wonky controls in comparison to something like Resident Evil 4. The key is in the presentation, however. Games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame become so cripplingly terrifying by creating ambiance. Making the player feel like something can happen at any moment, but carefully picking the proper moments to do so. All the situations bracing yourself for the potential scare around the corner is just as frightening or more than when it actually happens. Ju-On: The Grudge, however, will take any chance it can to eke even the smallest whimper of fear out of the player, thus making it perfect for quick play sessions and for. Also, the game is relatively simple to control and simple to complete outside of the sometimes poor level design.
We recruited six girls in all, which joined up into three pairs. The girls we invited knew they were going to play a scary video game. What they DIDN'T know, however, that our good friend Dan was hiding out in Grudge-esque attire behind the bookshelf next to them, waiting for the opportune moment to sneak out and take the duo on a one-way ticket to terror-vania. The result was a combination of horror and humor melded together in an explosion of awesomeness. Watch the series below:

Tori and Jordan in the Hospital
Chrissy and Jen in the Apartment Complex
Enjoy, and happy (much belated) Halloween!

My Hopes on the Steam Machine
If nothing else, Steam is a company that knows how to market a product to their target demographic. Their videos for Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 are some of�
�material I�ve ever seen. And to follow it up, they announced�
Steam Machines
,�decked out with a fancy new controller seen above,�to the overwhelming joy of fans and press. Seeing all the progress Steam has made in turning PC gaming into a legitimate rival to consoles, the advent of SteamOS and the Steam Machine counterpart seem to be a natural evolution in their plan to win the hearts of all gamers. Moving closer towards console gaming, however, sets Steam precariously close to all the things that it really distinguishes itself from, such as the Xbox, PlayStation, and Wii. Due to this, I am still eagerly awaiting a couple details before turning my currently restrained excitement into all-out schoolgirl giddiness. Here are the big reasons why I am keeping all my fingers and toes crossed about the new Steam system.
Profile Binding to Controllers
OK, I understand that I may still be a little dated with my philosophy on this one, but I still really enjoy the idea of sitting down on a couch with friends physically beside me to play a video game. There is still something inherently missing for me when you switch to online play that feels a bit disjointed. Think like�The Social Network�but not about�Candy Crush Saga�or whatever other junk is on there. Yes, you meet and get to hang out with friends online, but in the end you�re still alone in a room talking to a computer. What�s my point? Well, profile binding of course!�This is an idea that I had when the last generation of consoles came out and I was disappointed that it never happened. How amazing would it be if Steam allows you to sign in locally to your account just by connecting your controller to your friends� PC. Share achievements, take screenshots, upload them to the Steam community (does anyone really do that?), and track your gameplay time all while over at your friend�s place. Or even sign into Steam using your controller and download some new game for your friends to try out.�Another big point to make along with this is controller layouts. Valve released a�
demo video
�of the controller which shows off a ton of potential, but I could see the setup of the controller to be somewhat difficult. So, if your controller could remember the control scheme you use for a given game, jumping into the game at a friend�s house would be as simple as plug and play. There�s a lot of potential to be found here, and I think Valve is just the company to start exploiting those at the expense of my bank account.
Permanent Backwards Compatibility
Mainstay console companies like Sony and Nintendo have gotten into the habit of creating all new interfaces for controllers and accessories when a new system is released. Granted there can be some good reasoning behind this like adding extra functionality or improving their design, but it usually feels like a marketing ploy to consumers like myself. If I get a new PS4 and I want to have enough controllers around for my friends to join in on a game, I would have to dole out another $180 to make that happen. That�s the cost of three new games just to have my friends play with me. I mean I like my friends, but $180? It�s a tough sell. So I would love to see Valve tackle this problem by maintaining as much backward compatibility with the current controllers and future models as possible. Valve already has an advantage given the PC naturally has a universal accessory port in the USB, so the interface will not change anytime soon. All I would ask for, when newer controller models do come out, is that we keep the old ones functional as long as possible. Moving away from this idea severs many of those all-important distinctions that PC gaming has over consoles. And given Gabe Newell�s distaste of console gaming, I think it�s fair to say this idea will likely happen, much to my delight.
What things are you looking to see in the upcoming Steam Machine? Anything that will be a dealbreaker to you?

Faulty Ceilings, Master Swords, and Supergiant Games
�Proper story�s supposed to start at the beginning. Ain�t so simple with this one."
When my apartment�s ceiling collapsed at 3AM that fateful May night, I did not know I was being�jolted out of a pleasant slumber by the thunderous noise of gypsum succumbing to the will of gravity. Surely it was a beast from my deepest gaming fears tearing off our sliding glass door and casting it into the shadows. The hypothalamus is a fickle beast at times, and it caused a tirade of thoughts to race through my mind:
�Who could it be? An Enclave trooper? A Darknut? Or worse yet, PYRAMID HEAD?!�
�How did it get to the third floor of the apartment complex? Must have a grappling hook equipped� Damn��
�It must be here to kill Steve and I. This shit just got real.�
I flung the covers off and intently scanned my bedroom to find how I will defend myself from my impending doom. �My replica Master Sword! YES!� I think to myself, stealthily dropping to the floor and crawling to the corner of my room. I remove the blade from its scabbard, and lift my head to peer out between the slats of my window blinds. My heart begins to race faster when I find nothing.�It must already be inside! I turn to face the door, silently planning my final stand against this menacing foe.
I take a few deep breaths and silently palm the doorknob and turn it with the right hand, holding the sword with the left. I feel my arms and body shaking from the combination of crippling fear and the sudden rush of adrenaline. I close my eyes, inhale one last time, clinch the sword and fling the door open. I quickly make a ridiculous attack stance hoping that the combination of hearing the door suddenly open, seeing me brandish my blade of evil�s bane, and seeing me in my birthday suit would either scare off our intruder or incapacitate them from laughter. To my surprise I am greeted by no monster, no moblin, no living thing at all, but rather a cloud of blown-in insulation. Enough to instantly make you cringe from the pieces landing in your eyes or delving into the lungs. My fears of dying at the hands of a malevolent force dissipate and are replaced with a sudden outburst of �HOLY SHIT!� Steve follows suit when he opens his door seconds later and we gaze upon the remnants of our apartment, looking like this:
�Here�s a kid whose whole world got all twisted, leaving him stranded on a rock in the sky.�
We call the maintenance folk for our apartment and begin the process of cleaning out our apartment. Contractors come in and replace the ceiling, and we decided to perform some investigative journalism. Seeing that the contractors have no vested interest in hiding the truth as to why the ceiling collapsed from us, we questioned them as to what � in their opinion � may have caused the entire sheet of drywall to suddenly depart from its lofty home. To our surprise, the answer was not a simple retort like, �water damage, most likely.� The culprit was shoddy installation. Nails spaced too far apart and not long enough to penetrate two layers of drywall and properly hold onto the structural wooden beams. Even worse, my bedroom was the same case. Steve had his ceiling replaced before we moved in (for unknown reasons) but mine was the original, and it needed to be secured. So the contractors gave us a fancy new ceiling as well as reinforcing my room and providing a fresh paint job through the apartment. Now that the work had been completed, I could finally take a good look over my stuff to check for damages. Surprisingly, all the furniture in the living room and kitchen survived the ceiling attack with only minor dents. Even the consoles I owned were no worse for wear. We only had to worry about the fiberglass shower our belongings were given in the incident. My posters, however, did not fare so well. I had been on a bit of a video game poster shopping spree in the months leading to this incident, acquiring exclusive Club Nintendo prints, Earthbound fan art, and � my personal favorite � a Bastion poster of�Kid vs. Scumbag signed by Jen Zee, the artist. The posters were tossed around and dinged up pretty bad in the collapse. To make matters worse, the contractors decided to try for a world record in paint time, or wanted to spend their break finger painting, as shown by the giant glob of white paint smeared right through the center of the poster.
I was mad beyond words. I felt that if I tried to explain this issue to the property managers, I would come to an hour later�bathing in the blood of my victims. To make matters worse, any damages from the collapse and repair would need to be claimed through the renter�s insurance. Therefore, to make the claim worth our time, there would need to be over $1,500 in damaged goods to overcome the deductible on the policy. Steve and I were nowhere close to that amount.
�He gets up.�
Steve decided to take a chance and contacted Supergiant Games, the developer for Bastion, unbeknownst to me. Just a few days later I get an awesome package with the following letter:
They fixed me up with a fresh replacement of my destroyed poster, plus they gave me another print for me to enjoy. Steve�s action alone was a tremendous gesture of kindness which I am still yet to repay. Moreover, Supergiant Games�really had no reason to read Steve�s email, let alone act on it AND go over and above what was asked. These actions really speak to the sort of devotion the indie developer has with their fanbase. Supergiant Games could infer that I enjoyed their inaugural game, Bastion, since I bought the artwork. However, they do not know I recommend Bastion to anyone with a propensity for action or adventure games. They do not know that I have been eagerly awaiting their next release. But Supergiant Games delivered. They understand their fans help spread the word about their game. It certainly helps when critics also rave about the release but I always find personal recommendations from friends are more meaningful to me when making a decision to buy a game. My friends know who I am and know my personal likes and dislikes, so it would only make sense to believe that they would also be more likely to suggest video games that I will enjoy than any critic. This word of mouth form of communication between friends is something widely prevalent in indie games and indie music, where many suggestions come from friends and small-scale bloggers digging up gems for you to enjoy. Supergiant Games understands that a happy fanbase keeps them going as developers, and after all this I am certain to follow anything they up to for years to come.
This awesome gift also rekindled my interest to become involved in the video game industry. I had expressed interest in a career with video games since I was in middle school, but the idea was never supported academically. My guidance counselors did what they could to steer me towards a more �reasonable� career and my high school had no courses available to learn programming. I still attempted to make my dream a reality by enrolling in college as a computer science major, but the first semester really showed how far behind I was with the class from the start. Everyone had a background with programming leaving me with a mountain to climb from the very beginning. Now that I have a career (not in video games) I can still see that my middle school self was still right about one thing: working with video games is the only thing I see that can keep me interested long term. Getting these posters only reinforced that idea. Not that I should expect to work for a company and assume every day will be filled with sunshine and rainbows (unless you work for PopCap), but I can work for a company that creates a product that has a tremendous effect on many people around the world. And knowing that the company also cares about the people that support their game is only icing on the cake.
So without further hesitation, let me finally exclaim:
Thank you, Supergiant Games, both for the posters and for keeping my desire to work with video games alive.
Your loyal fan,

After 9, before 10pm….cars rev their engines as they drive down the block, zooming by catapulted by some strange energy on a Sunday evening when most are usually winding down the weekend before Monday's workday morning. Blood Moon Eclipse begins. An historic weekend ends. My prayers are stronger, more convincing and I feel I am witnessing part of a call like never before.
Solitary Love
The grass had been replaced by moss which had grown painstakingly around the trees in the shaded grove. My friend, with whom I agreed to take a ride "out East" needed to talk with several of the residents so I took a stroll in the silence while she discussed. Three swans floated on the lake in-between occasional surface plants that broke the ripples of the water. I felt the presence of Nature as She breathed with me in synchronism on Her Path. I walked to the gazebo and the swans glided towards me. Unbelievably, I felt enveloped, cared for and loved in solitude without anyone nearby.
Strategic sight
Discussions of peace during a reflective afternoon. Casually walking down quiet streets of a sleepy LI coastal town. Reflecting on life, living, pretense and want. Discussions about peace and its refusal…or is it just a lack of awareness? We didn't agree or decide. Yet, as I rounded the corner, the antique shop message embraced my consciousness just enough for me to connect with a smile…
Natura Bella e Copiosa
A sunlit, breezy August afternoon in what could be Umbria or Toscana brought back memories and reflections of wonderful days living in Italy. Today, however, was a forty minute drive on Long Island to Greenport's Raphael Winery with a tasting of Rose Pinot Noir and a blackberry-licorice laced Cabernet. It was a day when Nature's whispers calmed my soul and reminded me of Her Peace that surrounds us if we choose to look and feel Her warmth.
Today's Bounty
Ageless connections
Lunch with a former student who just came back from Greece. I didn't vacation this summer, so her stories of sun-drenched beaches, hot white sands and cool Greek personalities, drifting with the politics of the EU tingle my memories of when I lived in a very different Europe.
She offers me a bright red gift bag with a big smile before our sesame bread with tzatziki, Greek salad and Greek pizza in a Mediterranean restaurant whose decor of stucco walls and music of the tzouras and outi help me feel the warmth I miss in this too-harried world.
My afternoon is caressed by her young, energetic smile and kind words of encouragement. Meal dissipates like dreams into the Long Island humidity as we exit the restaurant and embrace with words of "see-you-soon." I open the bag as I wrestle into my sweltering car and find a small bottle of genuine ouzo…the non-imported kind to quench a thirst for culture and a little magnet in the shape of a sailboat to bring my dreams back to me from the Aegean Sea. Efcharistó!
August Sunrise
The Universe Responds
Last summer, I planted one Lemon Verbena in a hopeful butterfly garden without design along with three rose bushes. Of the three rose bushes, one had totally died and only one is still left without blight. This summer that one rose bush produces now for the second time copious, colorful blooms. The verbena, without any intervention from my questionable green thumbs, have multiplied into an army of purple buds, attracting butterflies and bees. Our wishes often arrive, not as we may have projected, but with work and desire, rewards can be just as satisfying.

Bombay GardenRead MoreBombay Garden's ties to authentic Indian cuisine run deep. Originally born in the small Indian town of Khanoor, owner Balkar Tamber grew up learning how to cook alongside his mother. That knowledge especially came in handy when he embarked on his first professional culinary foray, a roadside eatery in the Punjab region of India. Once he immigrated to the US in 1990, he brought along more than a handful of those family recipes and opened his first Bombay Garden restaurant fueled by a deep love for the rich and diverse culinary traditions of his homeland. The menu features a selection of iconic Indian dishes from virtually every corner of India. On one page of the menu, delicate crepe-like dosas made from fermented lentil and rice flour evoke the flavors of India's southern regions. And when it comes to northern Indian recipes, the chefs bake skewers of yogurt-marinated chicken and other meats in a traditional tandoor—a cylindrical clay oven heated by a well-trained dragon. The same blends of flavorful spices that perk up Balkar's chicken, lamb, and seafood dishes also appear throughout the restaurant's vegetarian entrées: homemade cottage cheese and green peas meld in a spiced gravy sauce and split lentils benefit from the chefs' one-two punch of garlic and ginger.3701 El Camino RealSanta Clara, CA US

The Front Seat is an interview series by Mom Blogger's Club that profiles working moms and dads to share advice on parenting, everyday life and a few laughs on the tie that binds us--our families.

The Front Seat is an interview series by Mom Blogger's Club that profiles working moms and dads to share advice on parenting, everyday life and a few laughs on the tie that binds us--our families.

When it comes to parenting, are you good cop or bad cop?

Sadly, when it comes to parenting, I am the bad cop. I'd like to think it's because my husband travels so much for work and so I'm the one at home making sure our lives still run on time. But truthfully, I think it's just our personalities. My husband is much more laid-back; I'm much more type A.

What is the best piece of advice your parents gave you?

I grew up just with my dad, and I remember even as a small child I would kind of get the blues. My dad would always say, "Get outside and run around, get some exercise, you'll feel better." And he was right. To this day, if I feel depressed or anxious, a yoga class or a walk can shift my mood pretty quickly.

What is one habit you do every day?

I am completely ritualistic about breakfast. Every morning, I eat pretty much the same thing, in the same order: juice, vitamins, fruit with granola and almond milk, giant cup of milky tea. I don't think I'm fully awake until I've finished my tea and read the newspaper. I wish I could say I commit to doing abs with the same determination.

What is your biggest pet peeve?

I get frustrated when people say they're going to do something and then don't follow through. I'd much prefer you tell me you can't do something up front than get my hopes up. It's funny, this is the biggest criticism of Angelenos—but people like me who actually grew up in Los Angeles are pretty dependable.

What was your biggest accomplishment while CEO at Healthy Child Healthy World?

The whole experience was such an honor for me, but I would say my favorite accomplishment was lobbying on Capitol Hill. I was there to try and convince the Pediatric Cancer Caucus to reference information about environmental factors. Pediatric cancer is the leading cause of death by disease for kids, and many industrial chemicals have been found to be carcinogenic but they're still allowed to be used in products. Because children are more vulnerable, the impact of these chemicals is much more damaging. We need to start addressing environmental factors if we want to reverse this trend.

Which do you prefer—cooking or dish duty?

I love to cook. I went through a period where I was really frustrated with cooking dinner, mainly because my son was only eating about five things. But now that all three of my children will at least try a bite, the joy is back! I'm not big on recipes—but pretty much everything I make starts with garlic and olive oil.

What are some items on your bucket list this year, both personally and professionally?

On my personal bucket list: I really want to learn to play guitar. I sing in a band, but I can't read music—nor can I tell you what note the songs I write are in! Professionally, I'd really like to take Mommy Greenest to the next level. I recently published the Mommy Greenest Guide to Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond—which was on last year's bucket list—but I'm still not getting the traffic that can make this conversation bigger and more impactful.

Who are some writers, past or present, that you look to for inspiration when you are writing?

I'm the daughter of an English professor and a total bibliophile—this is a very difficult question for me! But aside from the stacks of books that are on, under and next to my bedside table, most of the writers who inspire me today I find online. Especially inspiring are those who make me laugh out loud because I know how hard that is to do!

How do you and your husband keep each other grounded?

We've been together for nearly 20 years—at this point we basically read each other's minds. But staying connected is something everyone has to work at, regardless of how many decades you've logged. The most important thing is setting time aside to be alone together, even if it means just taking a walk around the block. Also, my husband and I are big fans of the 40-second hug. A few years ago, we read about a study that found if you hug for at least 40 seconds, it triggers an endorphin release. Try it, it really works!

What can you not live without?

Black tea. I get really cranky if I don't have my tea.

Making the switch to organic can be overwhelming. What is one simple, painless lifestyle change that anyone can make to get started?

If you're going to go organic with one food group, make it meat and dairy. By choosing organic meat and dairy, you're avoiding hormones and antibiotics, as well as pesticides and GMOs.

What got you started in going organic and green living?

I grew up in kind of a hippie commune—we grew a lot of our own food, and I knew the importance of organic and local. But it wasn't until I was pregnant with my third child that I started working with Healthy Child Healthy World and began to understand the impact of toxic chemicals in cleaning supplies, furniture, even personal care products. I had already had two children—it was so hard to admit to myself that I had made choices that weren't the best for them, simply because I didn't know better.

Organic food and products can be cost prohibitive for many. What low-cost tips do you have for going green without losing all your greenbacks?

I actually think that I began saving money when I started becoming more aware of the importance of organic food and products. First of all, I stopped buying on autopilot and found that I actually bought less. And when it came to our food, I reduced the amount of prepared and packaged foods that I was buying—those really add up!

Finish this sentence: "In 10 years, I hope…"

In 10 years, I hope to see my children as much as I do now. My oldest is 16, so that might be a stretch—who knows where life will lead him. But even through all the frustrations of raising children and teenagers, I love every second of parenting. I feel blessed to have three happy, healthy children and an amazing husband who supports my mission to raise as much awareness—and hell—as I possibly can!

Blogging is a creative endeavor that you devote a lot of time to. You deserve a space that reflects not only who you are, but also enhances, inspires and motivates your writing.

Blogging is a creative endeavor that you devote a lot of time to. You deserve a space that reflects not only who you are, but also enhances, inspires and motivates your writing.

You don't need your own separate room (although that would be nice!) and you don't need an interior decorator, you just need a vision. We've rounded up five ideas to create your own perfect writing spot that range from DIY partitions and upcycled lamps to the perfect plants for your desk. Check out our Room of One's Own Pinterest board and get inspired to create your own writing space!

1. Carve out your space

Stephen King says to "write with the door closed and rewrite with the door open." If you don't have the luxury of having a dedicated home office with a door to close, find a place in your home where you can write with minimal distractions, preferably away from the television room.

Got some unused space under the stairs? Set up shop in the closet!

If your closets are full of baseball bats, hockey sticks and winter coats, you can create a room divider with curtains to separate your space from distractions. Try upcycling your old drapes by dying them a new color. If you only need a small amount of fabric and don't need two full curtain panels, use a pretty shower curtain.

2. Lighting

If possible, situate your writing desk near a window to expose yourself to natural light. Studies have shown that natural light improves performance and can even make you feel more energized. It is suspected that artificial light, especially fluorescent light, disrupts the body's natural circadian rhythm.

If natural light isn't an option, use string lights to create ambience. Cruise some thrift stores or your attic to find an old lamp that you can spray paint.

3. Minimize Distractions

Keeping your writing space neat and tidy is not just good practice, it's also been scientifically proven to make you more productive. A Princeton University study found that when your environment is cluttered, it restricts your ability to focus.

All you truly need to write is either pen and paper or a computer (or both!), along with a dictionary and a thesaurus for good measure. If your family inspires your writing, keep one or two small photos, but overall keep it minimal to ensure nothing distracts you from your primary task: writing.

Keep you writing space uncluttered by getting organized. You can use mason jars to keep your pens and markers organized, use binder clips to keep cords under control and out of the way and utilize your wall space using a hanging folders.

4. Make it Comfortable

A good chair is important to your writing. If you're uncomfortable, you will be distracted. You should choose a chair that is comfortable to sit in for a few hours at a time that supports your back and allows you to plant both your feet firmly on the ground. It should also be comfortable enough to lean back in and contemplate all of your awesome ideas.

For a DIY-approach to an office chair, you can reupholster a folding chair, spray paint a vinyl chair or simply throw a big blanket over one of your dining room chairs for added cushioning. No matter how ugly the chair is, there's nothing that mod podge and spray paint can't fix!

5. Plants

Indoor plants are not only soothing, but they may also improve your health by filtering the air you breath and improve your concentration and mood. Flowering plants have also been shown to improve creativity.

If you don't have a green thumb, stick to succulents—they're inexpensive, take up little room, require hardly any maintence and come in all kinds of colors.

Other plants for your desk include Jade, which is said to lead to financial success; the Snake Plant, which improves air quality at night; and the Pothos plant, which can absorb and strip toxins like formaldehyde that may be in your carpet, walls or furniture.

 Guide to Rocking Boyfriend Jeans (& Saving the Planet) tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2015-05-13:988554:Topic:1599803 2015-05-13T13:13:29.499Z Mom Bloggers Club http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/mombloggersclub

Can you wear boyfriend jeans after 30? Maybe if I had a boyfriend to borrow them from—my husband's jeans are a little tight. If you missed the style revolution that took place over the past few years, boyfriend jeans are denim that's loose and broken down so you can wrap them around your ankles with a devil-may-care, I-can-rock-anything-with-high-heels kind of attitude.

I tried the husband jeans. They were a little snug across the derriere. Maybe devil-may-care comes with slightly longer legs and significantly less ass. Or maybe I just need a fatter husband.

But I like the trend of boyfriend jeans. It's recycled eco friendly fashion in action—if you do it properly. This reducing and reusing stuff is important when it comes to clothes, if you consider that the average American throws away 70 pounds of textile waste each year. Yes, really.

Back in the day, we used to scour vintage clothing stores to score the perfect pair of broken-in Levi's 501s. Now, we pay top-dollar for manufacturers to dump chemicals into washes that eat away at the denim until it rips and tears–just like life used to do.

However, with a little know-how and ingenuity (not to mention significantly less cash), you can still find a genuine, planet-saving pair of broken-in boyfriend jeans. Here's how:

Get a measuring tape and take down the number that corresponds to your hips, not your waist. That's the size you're going to look for. Forget about the length—as long as you're rolling, it doesn't matter.

Now hit the thrift shops. You want jeans that are soft from years of wear, preferably a pair that comes with the indent of a tin of chaw in the pocket. Try the Salvation Army or your local no-name resale where someone's grandpa may have deposited a treasure trove of damaged denim that won't cost you an arm or a leg.

Take some time to filter through the racks and try on anything that looks like it might fit—no matter what it says on the label. (They lie.) Use your measuring tape if you can't eyeball your size.

Got a pair? Great! Cut off any extra length that might inhibit your wrap. Consider razoring a few strategically placed rips and tears. And always–always!–wash before you wear.

Then rock the jeans loose—with the waistband at your hips—or belt them like Madonna in "Desperately Seeking Susan" (I'm totally dating myself) with the classic fold-and-wrap peg at the ankle.

Add a pair of stilettos and some attitude and you're ready to go. Boyfriend optional.

BOSTON -- The Chicago Blackhawks haven't scored a goal in more than 120 minutes of game time and have lost two straight to trail the Boston Bruins 2-1 in the best-of-7 Stanley Cup Final.
Most teams would be struggling with their confidence after a pair of humbling losses to a streaking Boston team that has won 11 of their last 13 games. But the Blackhawks are not most teams.
Most teams don't open the season with a 21-0-3 streak that was among the best starts to a season in NHL history. Most teams don't come back from a 3-1 series deficit against a Detroit Red Wings team poised to upset the top-seeded, Presidents' Trophy-winning Blackhawks in the Western Conference Semifinals. These Blackhawks have won big games before, and they have all the confidence in the world that they can do it again.
"It kind of gives you confidence. But to be honest with you, what happened in the regular season is a long time ago," forward Patrick Sharp said. "We certainly feel proud of what we accomplished, we feel like we deserve to be where we are and we can draw on past experience."

CHICAGO – For theater that is audaciously in-the-now and generates a sparkle of life, there are few better storefront (garage, gothic gathering place) groups than "Nothing Without a Company." Their latest, eclectic kick-in-the-head production is the intensely diverting and weirdly fun "Punk Punk."
Film Review: Lives Interact in 'The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them'Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 22, 2014 - 2:09pm
CHICAGO – There was something blank within "The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Them," although it dealt with the issues of loss, family and reconciliation. The all star cast, including Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy and William Hurt, add their performing spins to the story.
Film Review: Parts Are Better Than the Whole in 'The Skeleton Twins'Submitted by PatrickMcD on September 12, 2014 - 9:53pm
CHICAGO – Live from the movies, it's Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig! The two "Saturday Night Live" veterans are "The Skeleton Twins," and both have more to do than just be funny. There are moments that sink or swim, depending on the "Twins," and those parts are greater than the narrative sum.
Every Day is Her Day in Director Bong Joon-ho's 'Mother'Submitted by PatrickMcD on March 26, 2010 - 12:38pm
CHICAGO – The concept of family is a fascinating subject for notable South Korean director Bong Joon-ho. His monster movie "The Host" celebrated those familial bonds, and now an even closer relationship emerges in "Mother."

Dell PowerEdge VRTX Refresh (13G)
The Dell PowerEdge VRTX is Dell's answer to the needs of ROBO and small offices that can benefit from the convergence of compute, networking and storage within a tower chassis with a footprint barely larger than a standard PC. Like its 12G-based predecessor, the 13G-enabled VRTX supports up to four server nodes (blades) with options for 25x 2.5-inch drive bays or 12x 3.5-inch bays. Some of the most significant advances for the VRTX platform are offered via the new 13G M630 server node which features increased performance, storage capacity, and management functionality over its 12G M620 predecessor.Read more

Selecting the Best DRAM Configuration for SQL Server 2012
Building the ideal Microsoft SQL Server 2012 production server can be a daunting task, with variables such as storage, RAM, or processor selection stumping even seasoned IT administrators. We last posted an analysis around selecting the best Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPU for running SQL Server 2012 in non-virtualized environments. Aside from CPU, RAM is another key component when considering performance needs of SQL running on iron. For this testing we used the same testbed as the Intel processor study, this time focusing on stepping Micron PC3-12800 RAM with the best-performing CPU and storage to gauge its performance impact.Read more

A recent addition to the Data Domain line, the DD2200 consolidates backup, archive, and disaster recovery into one easy-to-manage 2U rack unit platform. The device is offered in two configurations: either a 7 drive system with 7.5TB of usable space or a 12 drive system with 17.2TB of usable space. The DD2200 supports up to 4.7TB per hour throughput and can support up to 860TB of logical capacity via expansion shelves.Read more

Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX200F Review
The Fujitsu Storage ETERNUS DX200F is a 2U all-flash storage array (AFA) that is designed to work in concert with fast servers and network connections to service the needs of the most demanding applications. The DX200F can run 5-24 SAS3 drives of either 800GB or 1.6TB for an overall raw capacity of up to 38.4TB. The array comes with a 16Gb Fibre Channel, an optional 10Gb iSCSI interface card, 16GB cache, integration of system management tools from VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, and complementary ETERNUS SF Express management software (a unified management suite across Fujitsu's line that provides enterprise-class functionality to even entry- and midrange-class products). All major components are redundant, including the power supply and storage controller, allowing for continuous operations and component swaps during an unplanned outage.Read more

Selecting the Best Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 CPU for SQL Server 2012
Flash storage often gets the headline when it comes to discussing database performance. However CPUs and RAM are vital components in determining how many transactions SQL Server can handle, and more importantly, how quickly it can deliver them. For those running SQL 2012 on iron (non-virtualized) as many are, architecting the system can be a delicate balance between capacity, performance and cost considerations. In this review we evaluate four Intel Xeon Ivy Bridge v2 processors and their effect on SQL TPC-C workloads in a two processor system.Read more

Quantum Mechanics
Concepts and Applications
- John McGervey, Case Western Reserve University
This textbook is useful for a senior-level course on quantum mechanics, which is taken by virtually all undergraduate physics majors. Also of interest to students in materials science or metallurgy (especially quantum statistics), chemistry (especially atomic, molecular and optical), and astronomy.
Book information
- Published: June 1995
- Imprint: ACADEMIC PRESS
"Veteran instructor McGervey (Case Western Reserve Univ.) provides a thorough introduction to quantum mechanics...The treatment of the subject is...refreshing in the consistency with which McGervey emphasizes the experiments underlying the development of quantum theory and the degree to which he insists on treating advanced concepts in understandable prose to appeal to a students intuition....A useful resource for physical chemists and applied mathematicians."
"The author has generally struck a good balance between conceptual development and mathematical rigor. [In summary, this book,]because of its unique approach and the improvements over McGervey I, should find substantial use in a one-semester course on Quantum Mechanics at the junior/senior level."
--Bruce D. McCombe/John T. Ho, AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS

California Senate Bill 751, recently signed into law, will require all legislative bodies to publicly report any action taken in any meeting, and the vote or abstention on that action of each member present. The bill is effective January 1, 2014. In order to comply with these requirements, legislative bodies must verify the vote or abstention of each member, and publicly announce the action taken and the vote or abstention of each member in attendance. This information should also be noted in the minutes. As a practical matter, votes may need to be taken by roll call or in another manner that allows verification of the vote of each member in order to comply with the requirements of SB 751.
The Brown Act already requires legislative bodies to report individual votes on actions taken during teleconferenced meetings and on certain actions taken in closed session. SB 751 will extend this requirement to actions taken in open session in any meeting of a legislative body subject to the Brown Act. The legislative history of the bill indicates that its purpose is to improve the ability of the public and others who monitor legislative meetings of local agencies to know how members voted on a particular action.
Additional revisions to the Brown Act resulting from the recent passage of AB 246 and AB 381 are also effective January 1, 2014:
