Tri-chicks, comfort foods and news!
Kick ass spicy peanut noodles. You can't really see the sauce here, but it was packed with cilantro, ginger, peanut butter, lime juice, siracha and maple syrup.
Now, onto a Chickpea Tale...... I pressure cooked a cup of chickpeas and used them 3 ways:
Chickpea "tuna" salad... we've seen many variations of this spread and as usual, this was a clean out the fridge deal... a little bit of this, a pinch of that.. and it was delicious in sandwiches and as a salad topping..
Here the humble pea pairs beautifully with some leftover pasta and homemade marinara.. at the last minute, baby arugula and fresh basil was thrown in and topped with a bit of umeboshi vinegar, nutritional yeast and a tsp of truffle oil.
Last but not least, another 100 calorie snack! I used the remaining peas and turned them into jalapeno hummus... cilantro, lime juice and toasted cumin, along with chili powder really punched up the flavor. Now, how in the world can hummus and pita be a 100 calorie snack?
Meet Joseph's mini pitas. As you can see, they contain 45 calories per mini pita and after toasting, I cut them apart and top each half with 1 T of hummus along with baby spinach a several cherry tomatoes.
This was a banana apple bread/cake like thing for the kids again... I used white whole wheat flour, sucanat and olive oil. They say it was delicious. I didn't have any, because I am not into wasting calories of foods like this.
OH NO!.. a VICIOUS PIT BULL! Seriously, how cute is this. They were asleep hugging each other... she woke up when the flash went off.
Pit Bulls are sooo awesome! The sweetest, goofiest dogs ever.
.... and now for some news!
I got a new job! I will be cooking in a natural foods cafe... it is not vegan, but has a lot of vegan options and the best part is that the owner wants to get into RAW FOODS! I love working with like minded people, and this place has amazing energy.. I am so happy to find a place that is a good fit. I will be starting within a week or so and doing photography and some personal cheffing on the weekends! Life is going to get super busy! I'm going to try very hard to keep up with the blog though...

First off, congrats on your new job!!! It does sound like a great fit. And now everyone who eats there will be able to taste all that love in the food....ReplyDelete
Aren't chickpeas amazing. I need to find me some of that mini pita bread. Jalapeno hummus is right up my alley...
Congratulations on the new job! (You know, based on your title for this post, I was expecting you to announce you'd signed up for a triathlon!) The food looks delicious (as always). That's one lucky café to have you working there!ReplyDelete
Congratulations Mel I'm SOOO happy for you!!!ReplyDelete

Congrats on the new job. It sounds like it will be right up your alley. They're lucky to have yuo. I hoep it's a shorter commute than your last job ;)ReplyDelete
Funny that we both made Thai comfort food.
Your 100-cal snacks are killing me--they look so good and tasty.
And yuou know I love Jorda. Aw, look at those two love bugs cuddling. Life is good.
Yum, I love chickpeas! I need to work them into more of my foods. Maybe I'll make some soup with some tonight.ReplyDelete
I heart Jorda. Whatacuteieface!
Congrats on the new job, that sounds so awesome! Keep us posted on how that's going.
Congratulations on your new job! They are lucky to have you!ReplyDelete
I am going on a mission to find those pitas. 45 calories for a pita is too good to pass up.
And your pup is adorable! I lobe pits!
Congratulations on your job! Sounds awesome.ReplyDelete
AND - that food looks amazing! I love chickpeas, so that chickpea salad dish looks especially tasty.
Aww your pit is so cute! It's a shame how they get such a bad reputation. Every pit I've known has been well-mannered and sweet - Looks like yours is the same :)
Congrats on the new job!ReplyDelete
I've decided that I want to go to culinary school- you can never know too much right?? :)
Now to decide when and where!

Ashley, Cash is so adorable!
website, actually - let me put in a plug for it because I'm super proud of my brother's work although I don't think this has been updated in a while. There's also a link on there to my brother's portfolio which is awesome.
On an unrelated note, DH bought the truck he's been talking about and had it at the dealership for some repairs. It was finished today and we went out to pick it up (I'm on spring break right now) and then went to lunch. When I went into the restaurant bathroom, I was a little annoyed because (possible TMI) AF is here and there was one trash can placed between two stalls and I didn't like that the person in the next stall could potentially see what I was throwing away, even if I was discreet about it. Then I went to wash my hands and realized the person who had been in the next stall was an 8-9 year old boy. His mother brought him into the ladies' room instead of sending him to the men's room on his own. I had a huge problem with the whole thing - DH said once he was old enough to be in school he used the men's room and 8 was way too old to use the women's room. What do you girls think?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I think 8 is definitely too old to be in opposite sex bathrooms. When we went to Chester zoo a few weeks back, there were signs on the d door that said 7 was the maximum age for that 'as a suggestion.'
I just had to tell DH to turn the channel on the TV because there was a programme on about a 2 year old who was murdered by two 12 year olds. That story absolutely disturbs me to my core. And what is awful is the two boys are in their 20's now and have new identities. The judicial system in this country is awful.

Mandy - Generally, I think that's probably too old for the kid to go into the ladies room. I only wonder if there was some extenuating circumstance that made the mom uncomfortable with her boy leaving her side. If I saw a creepy guy who looked like a child molester going into the men's room before my son, I'd probably insist he come in with me. But yeah, other than that, I don't know why an 8 yr old can't go into a public restroom alone.
AmeriAsh, your son is just the cutest little Chumbawumba (in honor of his half-Brit roots). I don't even know what a chumbawumba is, but the word connotes "adorable and squooshy" to me when looking his picture.
Yep. When they got released from 'prison' the government relocated them like the witness protection programme since it was highly likely they'd be dead shortly after release otherwise.

I know I've mentioned in here that we are planning to completely re-do the kitchen. When we bought this house it had been stripped (no appliances at all in the kitchen) and the cabinets date to what looks to me like the 1950's (house built in 1938 so in theory it's possible they could be original to the house but I don't think they're that old. Our intention was to rip out the cabinets, install new ones along with new appliances (currently we have a new fridge and are using a very big/high end toaster oven, hot plate, and microwave for cooking). DH just suggested that instead of replacing the cabinets, we replace the doors instead. I agree it would be cheaper, but even the bodies of the cabinets are old and the wood is peeling off. And the cabinets over the fridge come down too far and we have to have the fridge out from the wall, so we might need to replace at least those, anyway. What do you think? It is worth it to save the money to keep the 50-70 year old cabinets?
I told him we HAVE to replace at least the countertops, and he agreed to that, so we'll still need to make major replacements in there. And the cabinets would have to be completely stripped/sanded and either painted or stained - he says stained because he doesn't like paint on wood. I don't know about staining sanded down poor quality wood.

I actually did spend a good amount of time reading back on all the posts that I missed the past few days. I was majorly derailed by clicking through to all of Katy's amazing eggs. I wouldn't be able to create anything that intricate and beautiful on a regular-sized surface, let alone something as small and delicate an egg. Katy, your patience is astounding. Lately, I've been getting back into 2 hobbies - picture-frame making and painting (since Bodhi's really into playing with paint nowadays). And I'm painfully aware that my aesthetic has everything to do with my lack of patience. Everything I create looks very ... messy and half-done.
AshEel (that's my new nickname for 10Eels Ashley), I'm so sorry to have learned about your aunt. I hope she's found her peace and your family is there to console one another. However, I am very stoked to hear that you've got a new beau. One of these days, I hope you share a pic of him.
kate, every time I hear a NKOTB song or see a band member in the tabloids, I think of you. And I think about the John Mayer cruise where he wore the yellow spandex suit...
...but mostly I think of you.
Speaking of times I think of you guys... Erin, the other day, I was washing my hair with conditioner, just like you'd talked about earlier in the thread. And out of the blue, it dawned on me why it was called "co-washing", because it's "CO nditioner-washing". It was like a lightbulb going off above my head, only I'm glad one didn't because I was in a wet environment at the time and I would have most certainly been electrocuted. I do want you to know that I think of you often in the shower nowadays. LOL.
Bridget, how are things on the subject with your DBF going off on his own for the wedding in NY? I'm so sorry that he's given you reason to mistrust him. I just hope that after a long, long time you can build up the trust you lost in him. It must be so hard. I struggle with finding a way to even trust my sister anymore, and I can't figure out how just yet. Trust is just so hard to recover once it's lost. I actually am thinking right now if I've ever started trusting someone again after that person lost my trust, and I can't think of one. Then again, I don't often give a person second chances before I do the cutting-off thing, so what do I know. Anyway, I hate it that he makes you nervous. Have a glass of wine for me, ok?
Chrissy - I was really happy to hear that social services is no longer on your back. Like you said, you have an above-average bond with your children. It doesn't seem right to have them interfering with your parenting when you're clearly very good at it.
Molly, did Abbey ever turn orange?
On a serious note, I had another all-out shouting match with DH again at 5 am this morning. It had to do with his extremely unsupportive (read: hostile) attitude towards my breastfeeding. Among the "nicer" things I said to him was that his attitude stems from societal prejudice against extended breastfeeding, that and the notion he has in his head that Bodhi needs to "hurry up and grow out of it already". All my objections are valid, I think. I am embarrassed to admit, though, that I've let DH set restrictions around the times I am "allowed" to BF him. This week, I put my foot down because my kid had a 103.6 fever and wasn't eating anything. Of course, I was going to nurse him ON-DEMAND for comfort AND for the nutrition/hydration/immunity boost. I think my BFing is a leading reason that Bodhi's already almost completely well again.
Anyway, Bodhi's been growing more intense all around, as he's a toddler and is loud and persistent about what he wants, and his head cold made him crankier than usual this week. DH is pretty much blaming all his toddler-like behavior on me. He believes that my breastfeeding promotes B's dependence on me - as if Bodhi wouldn't have tantrums about something else if he didn't have the boob to rally for.
So the last 2 nights have been rough because B was sick and particularly insistent on me being in his bed with him at night. I don't mind it one bit, but he's been chanting for the "booby" all night long, and that's been causing DH to fight with me over it. DH has been trying to kick me out of the room, instead of letting me calm Bodhi down through nursing (which would work instantly). I have been stubbornly not letting him take over for me when Bodhi was asking for nothing but mommy.
Long story short, the fight at 5 am was about all that. On top of it, I'm pretty sure I threw in some latent resentment I have for him re: the utter unfairness with which he handles our finances. However, I said something shamefully hurtful to DH that I realize I didn't mean, although I felt something very close to it at the time. I still have to apologize for saying the overly-harsh stuff. I hope he doesn't take it to mean that my arguments had no merit. That's the problem with arguing with too much force - if you have to apologize about one thing, you run the risk of your opponent interpreting it as you having been wrong about everything.
Well, that's all ladies. Oh, except I'm happy to report I finally finished painting the kitchen a whole month after I started it ... with and without pants on. It'll be nice to not have to look at blue painter's tape (and that awful wallpaper) anymore.
Thanks for reading my really long post again.

Sorry to hear about your fight, Myles.

He's feeling anxious over what he just spent on the truck and looking for ways to cut costs, but if we want to rent this house out we have to have a presentable kitchen. It isn't an option.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Sorry, I'll have to go back and respond to other posts later. I saw this one from Mandy and had to put in my 2 cents.
I was horrified, of course, and ever grateful that I had girls. Now, I have a boy and I can promise you that Conner will not be going in any public restroom alone. Well...at some point I'll have to let him but most definitely NOT at 8. I'll try to find a family bathroom, or a bathroom that just has 1 toilet in it, but if I can't then people are just going to have to deal.
Speaking of eye-pain ... OMG, Lydia, I finally got around to googling that stuff about our flying friends from the Jurassic/Cretaceous period. Unsettling, but amusing all the same. I'm not sorry that you shared it with us.
We're trying to decide on replacing the doors, or sanding/painting the current ones too. I guess we can try it and if they're really bad, we'll just buy new doors (?). I saw a show on HGTV where they had painted the cabinets one color and the doors were something else and it didn't look bad. But again, you have to have an eye for such things, which I do not.
Not replacing the doors on our cabinets isn't an option. The wood is distorted and not even straight. I should take a pic ... they're horrible.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I think there are 2, maybe 3, doors that were ruined. The centers are a cheaper, thinner board and they got wet somehow and warped/cracked really bad. I believe it just happened to the two by the sink from when the girls used to hand wash the dishes.
Anyway, we discussed replacing the centers, either with some other board of the same thickness or with glass and putting them in a cabinet where we can display our china. I really can't remember what condition the doors really are in though, so we may just opt to get new doors altogether.
We definitely have to replace the counter tops and back-splash too. What's in there is the old Formica that was put in when the house was built in '68.
Okay, I got out my camera.
Here is the inside of the cabinet doors:
And the outside of the cabinet base:
And, for good measure, DH's new/old redneck truck:
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Nice truck!
A couple of our doors look like that, but like I said we're hoping we'll be able to work around them.
My problem is that I can get what I think is a great scheme in my head and buy the exact colors that are portrayed in the pictures, but then it just doesn't look good at all once I've done it. I simply have no artistic eye...and frankly, I don't like it. I'm not crafty and don't desire to me. I need to do something with our house and feel tremendous pressure to make it look good. I have no confidence in myself to be able to pull it off though.
I need to rent an APA mom to decorate for me. If only I could afford to!
Chrissy, I could have written THAT post!
And I thought you'd enjoy the redneck truck! ;)
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Very much! Our neighbor has a similar one...he has the small size. Dakota I think? Your dh's looks like the full size one. ?
I'm feeling extremely cranky right now. Sydney has been whining about her phone for a couple weeks. It's a cheap Juke and on its last leg, but there's not much I can do about it. I could get her a free phone if I renew our contract, but with our house/mortgage being up in the air and not really knowing where we're going, I don't want to sign another 2 year contract. Our cell bill is $250/month. After June, if things get tight, I can cancel it. I want to keep it that way, at least till we get our mortgage caught up in Feb (if we go that route).
Anyway, today she tells me she dropped it in the toilet. I suspect it was on purpose. We have a really, really old cell phone that I activated temporarily, but it seems to be having a hard time charging. She's pressuring me about when I can buy her another phone off ebay...and I'm feeling like I just can't. We need to save everything we have to put into our old house. It's going to be so tight from Jun-Feb. She's upset with me. I'm just feeling miserable about everything.
I wouldn't feel bad about it, Chrissy. If she did it on purpose, she should learn that that's not an acceptable way to force your hand and get her way. At least, that's what I would have been told at that age. Not that I wouldn't feel bad inside, too.
DH's is the full size. It's a 1 ton and runs on diesel, so as he tells me the engine will last forever and it gets better mileage than a gas truck would. It hope he's right. We did need a truck, since no one in the family has one, but I wasn't expecting quite that much truck!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I have a hard time with calling my kids out if I suspect they're lying. The only reason I think she might be is because she had been having troubles with it recently. I think it's worse to accuse a child of lying when they're not than it is to 'play the fool.' For a while at least. The truth generally comes out eventually anyway. So, I feel bad because I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.
What he says about diesel engines is true. I think I was fed a healthy helping of that spiel at least once a week my entire life. My father was a mechanic when I was really little...co-owned a garage with his father and brother. And now my husband and brother are heavy into car stuff.
Having a truck is a real convenience. We've made the decision that Rich's has to go. It needs work and we don't have the money to put in it. Every day he brings up another 'reason' to have a truck. I finally snapped at him yesterday and said, "Well just keep the **** thing then" because I was sick of hearing about it and feeling bad. He backed off and admitted it does need to go. It's just hard for him. I know that, but gosh, I'm dealing with enough. I can't worry about his attachment to his darn truck too. I sold my first convertible that my father bought me 2 years ago due to money reasons. He can't tell me I haven't ever sacrificed.
Sorry, Chrissy. I know it sucks. And I understand about giving her the benefit of the doubt.

That (usually in online form) is how foodies and cutting-edge chefs meet up in secret locations to dine on some tremendous eats.
Many are dubbed pop up restaurants.
In New York City, they're going with the term underground supper clubs.
There are several factors here:
1) As in the NYC scenario, there are no health regulations. The Health Department is looking to snuff out these illegal operations/dinner parties.
2) Diners pay a premium to learn about these exclusive events. Should it be on a "per-meal basis" or part of a membership fee?
3) Many times, as in the SF case, these gatherings are at locations which aren't supposed to be hosting them. It may not be trespassing, but it's pretty darn close.
4) And what is the overall effect for chefs, organizers and customers? Is it a good thing, bad thing, how will it affect regular restaurant business?
First of all, while health departments across the country are concerned about the impacts of unlicensed and unregulated operations serving food for money without posting a letter grade on their doors, when has it really mattered to the diner?
I can go into any restaurant, and take the chance that I could get sick from the person or persons handling my food. It doesn't matter if they have an "A", "B", or "C" from the local health department.
So this idea that an entire populace could be wiped out due to underground or pop-up dinners seems a bit far-fetched.
I would also argue that the people taking the time to organize and put these events together care MORE about what goes into the food on the plate, than say the average line cook at IHOP.
Diners, who can afford to attend these events, should be able to spend their money how they want. Whether they're plunking down $150 for a dinner at Ruth's Chris, or $100 for a four-course meal at Patty's house done by an up-and-coming chef, shouldn't be a factor.
Restaurants that pack in the crowds Thursday through Saturday nights are doing just fine, but customers will dictate who or what becomes the next hot food trend.
Now, if there's some sort of fire code violation, or condemned building where people are taking a chance on going just to eat the most authentic Chinese street food this side of Beijing...that could be a problem. But again, I go back to the idea of customers should be able to do what they want with their culinary experience. There are some neighborhoods and countries which can also be dangerous, but the food can make it worthwhile.
Chefs nationwide have been debating this particular issue.
But like you and me, they each have their own take on whether this culinary trend is a positive or a negative.
Personally I like the idea of this kind of dining. The "illegal" aspects to this can be debated, but with food, there shouldn't be many hard and fast laws. Make food safely by caring about what goes on the plate, and make it a memorable experience. That's one of the most important tenets of dining, and should be the goal of everyone who eats.

More than 100 New York communities slammed by severe storms and massive flooding in the last two years are all seeking shares of $750 million in federal rebuilding aid and also competing for $3 million bonus grants.
With Gov. Andrew Cuomo again warning that extreme weather has become increasingly common, planners are in Albany outlining updates under the New York Rising Community Reconstruction Program.
The gathering follows tropical storms Irene and Lee and Superstorm Sandy as well as extensive flooding in the Mohawk Valley. The once rare storms touched nearly two-thirds of the state.
"Ever since the devastation caused by Irene, Lee and most recently Superstorm Sandy, New York State has been working to help families and businesses recover while investing in communities building back stronger and better than before," Cuomo said. "The NY Rising Community Reconstruction program is at the center of this effort, bringing together those that know their own communities best to guide the local rebuilding process. This conference serves as a valuable opportunity for members of the NY Rising program to share ideas and discuss strategies to make communities stronger than ever before as New York State expands its investment in supporting local recovery and resiliency efforts."
Conceptual rebuilding plans, including risk assessments, are due later this month.
Additional grants are intended for best regional collaborations, community involvement, technology use, innovative financing and use of green infrastructure.
Final plans are due in March.

Mom and I are so excited to bring you our 2nd recipe for Moda Bake Shop! This quilt "Eydie A's" is designed and named in Grandpa's (mom's dad) memory. This lovely quilt uses a jelly roll and both a dark and a light print to set off the scrappy blocks. It is made using Blueberry Crumb Cake by Blackbird Designs...the perfect line for Moda Bake Shop.
2 5/8 yards tan sprig on cream for background triangles
3 2/3 yards cream flower on blue for sashing, border, and binding
94 x 108 inches batting
7 1/2 yards backing
Layout and cross cut them into 2 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch combination strips for a total of 168 combination strips.
Piece combination strips together into groups of 2. Be sure that seams are pressed opposite of each other when pairing them up.
Piece groups of 2 together for a total of 42--16-patch blocks. Set these aside.
Cut 14--6 3/4 inch strips from the background.
Cut these strips into 84--6 3/4 inch squares. Cut each square in half diagonally once.
Piece the triangles to the blocks.
Piece the triangles opposite and press.
Then piece the remaining triangles. Press.
From the blue... cut 24--3 inch strips for sashing. Using 12 strips, cut 35--3 x 11 3/4 inch sashing strips.
Cut 9--4 inch strips for the borders from the blue and cut 1 strip in half. Piece together 2--4 x 86 inch strips for top and bottom borders. Piece together 2--4 x 106 inch strips for side borders
Cut 9--2 1/4 inch strips for binding from the blue and piece strips end to end.
Layout the quilt as follows: 6 x 7 layout with 86 inch strips running from side to side and the 11 3/4 inch strips running up and down between blocks. Piece together rows of blocks then piece rows to blue sashing strip. Piece borders to top and bottom first then sides.
Layer quilt with backing and batting; quilt as desired. I quilted Eydie A's with a freestyle overlapping meander with white thread.
Trim quilt and stitch binding down.
We do have a few kits of Eydie A's using the Blueberry Crumb Cake... check out our online shop... www.sweetgirlstudio.etsy.com
happy quilting!

A timeless cotton-wool blend boucle from Marc Jacobs. Lightweight, with a slightly nubby texture; feels more like cotton than wool. Brightly colored threads and perfect for three-season wear. Ideal for lined jackets, dresses and skirts.
Color: Fall

Content: 73% WOOL, 27% COTTON
Designer: Marc Jacobs
Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

A new study awards a dubious distinction to several roadways in the tristate region.
The Tri-State Transportation Campaign finds that the Hempstead Turnpike in Nassau County is the most dangerous road in the region for pedestrians.
The Sunrise Highway, Jerricho Turnpike and Broadway in Manhattan were also among the most dangerous.
In New Jersey, from 2009 to 2011, Route 130 in Burlington County, the Blackhorse Pike in Atlantic County and Route 1 in Middlesex County were the most deadly roads for pedestrians.
Each had nine fatalities during the three-year time period.
Route 30 in Camden County and Route 9 in Middlesex County each had eight pedestrian deaths over the same span.
The study found 440 pedestrians died on New Jersey roads from 2009 to 2011, a slight increase over the period from 2008 through 2010.
The study praised the state for its efforts to make roads safer but is pushing for safety improvements and stiffer penalties for careless drivers who kill or injure pedestrians and bicyclists

The Tumi Difference
Add-a-bag system
Quickly and easily add another travel piece or business case using our patented Add-A-Bag hook with secure fastened tab closure that holds in excess of 200 pounds. Also, many Tumi business cases and totes feature a back sleeve that slips over extended luggage handles allowing you to stack and carry heavier bags on your wheeled luggage. Used together, these features allow travelers to effortlessly carry two or three items at the same time with one hand.
Easy Glide Wheels
Our state-of-the-art in-line wheels incorporate sealed steel ball bearings and are mounted on solid steel axles in custom-designed, shock-absorbing bushings. They roll smoothly and quietly for hundreds of miles.
Omega Closure System®
Tumi's patented closure system significantly reduces the risk of damage to the zipper. The Omega zipper puller is designed to break away from the bag if it becomes caught. The puller, rather than the entire zipper, is then quickly and easily replaced.
Tumi Tracer®
The Tumi Tracer® is an exclusive, complimentary program that helps reunite Tumi customers with their lost or stolen items. The core of the program is a unique 20-digit individual product number printed on a special metal plate that is permanently affixed to Tumi products. That number, along with the owners contact information, is entered into our Tracer database when a bag is registered with us, and used to help aid in the recovery of lost or stolen items that are reported to us.
Waterproof Pocket
This specially-designed pocket is ideal for keeping wet and damp items, including umbrellas, water bottles and workout clothes, separate from the other contents of the bag.
Aircraft Grade Aluminum Extension Handle
The tubing of our telescoping handles is made from aircraft-grade aluminum, making them both lightweight and extremely sturdy.
HTLS® Fabric
Engineered for performance as a luggage fabric, HTLS® combines high-tenacity durability with low shrinkage properties that help maintain the shape of the fabric through a variety of temperature and weather conditions

Ryan McGinley Captures the New York Band Debuting Their New Direction
Indie-darlings The Virgins return with new track "Prima Materia" in this short film by artist Ryan McGinley of the group performing live at the New York outpost of Parisian hotspot Le Baron. Channeling the quintessential early downtown punk sound of Television or The Modern Lovers, The Virgins played a selection of freshly written tracks for a packed audience. "It was good to play a small room, and just feel like a family," says lead singer Donald Cumming. Best friend to Cumming and chief photographer of the band since its inception and subsequent runaway success in 2008, McGinley set up five different cameras around the dark space to capture the intimate performance and even used the audiences' camera flashes to create monochrome zooms. "We were so psyched for Ryan to capture that show on film, because you only get to play songs for the first time once," says Cumming. "'Prima Materia' was written that week, just a few days before so it was great that he got it." After four years of touring the world and with two new members, the band is back in the studio recording for an exclusive 7–inch for OHWOW's Downtown for Democracy event in May and a new album later this year. Here McGinley talks friendship, soap operas and pink visions.
How long have you and Donald been friends?
We've been best friends for 13 years now. In the summer of 1999 I used to see him reading books sitting on a stoop on East 7th street in Manhattan. I would ride my bike by him in the early afternoon and he'd still be there reading in the evening. I approached him one day and he told me he was a poet. He was always sitting on that stoop waiting for his girlfriend because her parents wouldn't let him in their house.
Was he always making music?
Until about 2005 I watched as he experimented in a lot of different mediums. He was making alternative movies with old VHS video cameras, making collage art about cats, drawing line portraits of himself and friends. All of us were in a soap opera that aired weekly on Manhattan Public Access and Donald was the star of it. He started modeling in a lot of high fashion campaigns and then acting in movies. All of these artistic forces were fused together when The Virgins were formed.
Why did you color the footage?
I've always been a fan of the monochromatic album cover. Two of my favorite bands that have pioneered that look would be The Smiths and Belle & Sebastian. I guess the aesthetic decision to tint the footage pink was my subconscious nod to those bands. I've always thought of The Virgins as a pink band.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Delayed Until March 9Nintendo has once again delayed Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Wii), this time pushing the North American release of the game back until Sunday, March 9.
The company had previously specified a February 10 release (also a Sunday) for the highly-anticipated mascot fighter, itself a delay from the initial December 3 date, which fell on a Monday.
"I deeply apologize to the people who have looked forward to playing the game for so long and ask that you hold on just a little longer," director Masahiro Sakurai pleaded on the game's official site. "Thank you for your patience."
The game has also been postponed in Japan, but only for a week; it will now arrive on January 31 instead of January 24. European regions, meanwhile, are still without a specific release date, though it is possible the title may arrive there as soon as April.

Surprisingly, academic campuses are not as much at the forefront of "greenness" as one might expect. But, according to the Washington Post, that's quickly changing. Berea college in Kentucky now boasts an "ecological village" for student housing, and the likes of Yale and Harvard are quickly reducing their ecological footprints as well. The innovation is not just led by student activists, but by looking at the bottom-line costs of resource consumption as well.

The Michigan Supreme Court has suspended Wayne Co. Circuit Judge Wade McCree without pay effective immediately.The court order issued Friday comes after FOX 2's Charlie LeDuff reported the censured judge was still being paid $12,000 month, despite being under investigation after LeDuff exposed McCree's relationship with a woman whose child-support case was pending in his court.The order says McCree's pay will be held in escrow until disciplinary proceedings are resolved.The court says the file is sealed and will remain confidential until further order.The high court reprimanded McCree for misconduct in October after he sent a nude photo of himself to a female court employee. That story was also exposed by LeDuff. McCree has since apologized.So far, McCree has offered no comment on his suspension.
Read the entire court order below:
On order of the Court, the motions for immediate consideration are GRANTED. The petition for interim suspension is considered, and it is GRANTED. The respondent Wayne Circuit Judge Wade H. McCree is suspended without pay, effective immediately, until further order of this Court. The respondent's salary will be held in escrow pending the final resolution of these disciplinary proceedings. The motion to seal the Supreme Court file is also considered, and it is GRANTED, in order to preserve the confidentiality required by MCR 9.219(A)(2) and MCR 9.221(A). With the exception of this order, the Supreme Court file is suppressed and shall remain confidential until further order of this Court.

Ovarian Cancer
Ovarian cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the ovaries. It is the fifth most common cause of cancer deaths in women.
Experts do not know exactly what causes ovarian cancer. But they do know that DNA changes play a role in many cancers. The risk of ovarian cancer rises for women who are past menopause, women who have a family history of ovarian cancer, and women who have inherited certain gene changes, such as BRCA or Lynch syndrome (HNPCC).
Early ovarian cancer may cause symptoms such as recent, frequent bloating, or pain in the belly or pelvis. It may also cause difficulty eating or feeling full quickly, or urinary problems, such as feeling an urgent need to urinate or urinating more often than usual. But the early symptoms of ovarian cancer start suddenly, happen almost every day, and don't go away. They also feel different from the usual digestive or menstrual problems. Women who have these symptoms almost daily for more than a few weeks need to talk with their doctors.
Ovarian cancer is treated with surgery and, in most cases, chemotherapy.

A local first grader is banned from his school's talent show because his act is deemed "inappropriate."
Erich Henze is seven years old, and he is a fun-loving first grader at Violet Elementary School in St. Clair Shores.
He was "really excited" about the talent show coming up. He was perfecting his performance, and mom signed the permission slip.
"I said, 'Mom, sign this because I just want to do the arm fart for the talent show,'" said Erich.
"Body Farts by Erich Henze. He can armpit fart. He can leg fart, neck fart, ear fart. It's a pretty good act. Really funny," said Emily Henze, his mom. "I got a call from the principal yesterday morning. She informed me that bodily noises were inappropriate and would not be acceptable in the talent show."
What does mom think this says to her son?
"Not to be yourself," she said. "Everybody takes things so serious. We're talking about a seven-year-old and armpit farts. There could be so many other worse things, and I don't agree with her decision, and I think I have hundreds and hundreds of people that stand behind the way I think."
The superintendent said he stands by the principal's decision 100 percent, saying that there is a time and place for everything, and in this case body farting is frowned upon. I asked Erich if he can't do that one man show, will he do a different one?
"If they won't let me do it, I won't. I'll just watch," he said. "It's funny. It's not inappropriate."
"I don't think anyone would be offended. I don't think anyone would do anything but laugh," said mom.
Erich's dilemma will likely spark some debate. Which side are you on? Is the principal pitting against him or is this school right for this rule? Post your thoughts in the "Comments" section below.
