When I think of the '80s, visions of Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club come to mind. While these feel-good comedies are something we all love from the '80s, some of the fashion trends from the time are not. These trends went out of style for a reason, but, despite the 30-year gap, '80s fashion has come back into our lives in the form of mom jeans and shoulder pads (I know, not the image you wanted). Here are three trends to watch out for.
1. Shoulder pads
Ah yes, shoulder pads are back, and they are making a comeback in a big way. The bigger and more dramatic the shoulder pads, the more fashionable they are. Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj have rocked this trend several times as of late, but personally I don't see the appeal. Shoulder pads are uncomfortable, and, honestly, they look a little bit unnatural and serve no purpose. It is impossible to make this blast from the past a current, modern trend. It does not matter how much height you add to the shoulder pads or what shape they are — they should just remain a distant memory.
2. Long gym socks
I can't even believe I am talking about this as a current fashion trend, but unfortunately it needs to be said. Long gym socks and tennis shoes with shorts is not fashion. Or it shouldn't be considered fashion, anyways. I have seen countless girls wearing this outfit to class when it's warm out, and no they are not going to the gym to work out. Please ladies, forget this trend and send it back to the '80s ASAP.
3. Mom jeans turned into shorts
Let's face it: mom jeans were never cute. The shape doesn't do anything for anyone. And yet the trend has been making its reappearance on young women everywhere, but in a different form — they are cut off into shorts. "Mom jean cutoff shorts" is actually a Google search, which means the trend has already gotten too far. I'll admit that sometimes, if done correctly, this look is not as bad as it sounds, but the majority of the time it is just wrong.
Here are two trends to try this spring:
4. Neon
Maybe not like in the photo above, but I'm all for a good neon touch to an outfit. Spring and summer neon trends are definitely worth trying, but in a more subtle way than was done in the '80s. Neon in the '80s was overwhelming with bold patterns of multiple neon colors and the outfits just didn't flow. But neon in 2013 is much more fashionable. Neon pants, shoes, purses, and tops are perfect for the spring—just not all together in one outfit. I definitely recommend trying this out and adding a pop of neon to an otherwise vanilla outfit.
5. Leggings with oversized shirts
I'll be the first to admit that I love this trend. Pair a trendy, long shirt with some basic black leggings and cute shoes and you're ready for any activity the day brings. You just have to make sure your leggings are thick enough (could be a major oops!). This trend is ultra-fashionable, comfortable AND cute.
Which is your favorite and which would you try, Lovelies?

The Widow Buckingham
Widow Buckingham's kitchen door is wide open this afternoon, to admit warm spring air, and the lady herself is enjoying a moment of leisure by her radio in the living room. I am forced to rap repeatedly upon the open door in an attempt to make myself heard above the din of a military band, eventually attracting attention by an emphatic knock inserted strategically between the concluding bars of "Stars and Stripes Forever," and the station announcement. The radio clicks off, and Mrs. Buckingham, plump, gray, in the sixties, comes into the kitchen, her determined frown evidence of a particularly high order of sales resistance. When I explain the reason for my call, however, the lady relaxes perceptibly and invites me to be seated.
"Don't know's I can give you much history about these [Reynolds?] Bridge Companies," she says. "We only lived here since 1916. I came from a knifemakin' family, though. Worked at it for twenty six years myself, over in Hotchkissville. American Shear and Knife Company—that burnt down in 1914, and they never rebuilt it.
"My father was from Sheffield, England, where all the good knifemakers come from. I was six years old when we moved to Hotchkissville. Of course I don't remember much about the old country, but I can remember my mother tellin' about how when she first come over here she was scared of everything. Sheffield was a big city, you know, and they weren't used to country ways. She was afraid of the peep frogs, when first she heard 'em. My sister and my two brothers was born in Hotchkissville. My sister—she lives down here on the flat now—father used to say, 'she's the first bloody Yankee in our family, and she's a bugger.'
"Women in the knife shops? Oh, yes, there was about ten of 'em over in Hotchkissville. We used to clean, and pack the knives, little jobs like that. They had boys to get the work ready for the finishers. Most all English people, I don't know what it was, whether the Yanks couldn't learn the trade, or what. Oh, there
"When I got married—I know it don't sound like much, but they were wonderful knives—they gave me a set of the finest kitchen cutlery. They don't make knives any more, they really don't.
"The girls didn't get much money. Paid by the month. Some of them get about twenty five cents a day. I remember the first month I worked I made eight dollars and fifteen cents. I gave it to my mother and she gave me a quarter to buy candy with and I had to make it last until the next payday, too. You could get more with a quarter then, though. You could get as much candy for a quarter as you get for a dollar today.
"Father was a cutler. That was the best job there was. And he was a fine workman, too. When he died he was working on a knife an inch long. It had fourteen different articles in it, and you could carry it in a snuff box. My brother Willie always said he was going to finish it, but I told him, "Willie, you'll never be the knifemaker father was.' And he wasn't either. My nephew Joe down in Bridgeport has got that knife now, but I don't think he ever finished it either.
"Willie worked at grindin', and it give him consumption in the end. He never cared anything about the work, always rather play ball or something. Old Mr. Coles came to father one day and he siad, 'I'm goin' to make a knifemaker out of Willie.' Father said, 'take the bloody bugger and see what you can do with him, I can't seem to teach him the trade.' So Mr. Coles showed him the grindin'. Willie never liked it but he stuck to it. He came to work at the Thomaston Knife shop afterwards.
"A big strappin' chap, Willie was. Six feet one, and as husky. You'd never think there was anything wrong with him. I remember the day he knew what was wrong with him. He'd been out choppin' wood and he come in and told me he'd spit up some blood. I told him it was probably somethin' caught inside his throat that had cut
"Well, he had a horror of sanitariums. But finally the doctor persuaded him he'd be better off and he consented to go. Went down to Shelton. He stayed there fourteen days, and when I went to see him he was so homesick he cried to come back with me. I hadn't the heart to refuse him so I brought him home. Fixed up a room upstairs, screened it all in and all, and tried to give him the same care he'd get in the sanitarium, but it was hard. He says to me, 'Ada,' he says, 'You're not able to do it, it's too much for you.' I didn't say nothin', but he was right, of course. Finally one day I was goin, to the city to pay the gas bill, and he says, 'Ada, he says, 'you better put in an application for me to the state, I think I'd be better off in the sanitarium. It was a mistake to come home,' he says. That was in May. I put the application in for him, but it was August before his turn came. He went away and lived two years, but finally he died. Fifty years old when he died. You'd never think there was a thing wrong with him, right up till the last.
"It was a common thing with grinders. There was a young fella named Paddy, used to board with me years ago, he got it too. Only twenty four years old, he was. He had an application in for Wallingford, but they wouldn't take him in over there, he was that bad. They only take the mild cases. I remember the day he got the letter, turnin' him down. I says, is it good news or bad? He says, bad, very bad. Had the doctor and the doctor took me to one side and says 'mr. B. this boy won't live a month. He shouldn't be here. It will be hard on you.' I says, 'doctor, that boy hasn't got kith or kin in the world and no place to go, and here he'll stay as long as I'm able to do anything for him.' Four weeks later to the day, he died.
"Well, it's history you're after, ain't it? I've got something here may interest you." Mrs. Buckingham leaves the room, returns after a protracted absence, with a yard long roll of paper, which she spreads upon the kitchen table. "Pictures," she says, "of every knife company in the country. Just think of the hundreds and hundreds of people who worked in those places, and now most every one of them is out of business."
These were the "American Pocket Knife Manufacturers of 1811" according to the inscription on the bottom of the sheet," compiled by Walter C. Lindemann, Walden, N.Y."
"Take em down" urges Mrs. Buckingham, "that's history. Think of the hundreds and hundreds of people that used to work in those shops." A complete list follows:
Schatt and Morgan Knife Co., Titusville, Pa.; W.R. Case & Sons, Bradford, Pa.; The Cutlery Works, Smethpart, Pa,; Union Cutlery Co., Tidouta, Pa.; Case Cutlery Co., Kane, Pa.; A. F. Bannister Co., Newark, N.J.; Valley Forge Cutlery Co., Newark, N.J.; Booth Brothers, Sussex, N.J.; Keyport Cutlery Co., Keyport, N.J.; Ulster Knife Works, Ellensville, N.J.; Naponach Knife Co., Naponach, N.Y., Cattaraugus Cutlery Co., Montour Falls, N.Y.
[Robeson?] Cutlery Co., Perry, N.Y., Union Knife Co., Union, N.Y.; Warwick Knife Co., Warwick, N.Y.; Utica Cutlery Co., Utica, N.Y.; Northfield Knife Co., Northfield, Conn.; American Shear and Knife Co., Hotchkissville, Conn.; Empire Knife Co., Winsted, Conn.; Challenge Cutlery Co., Bridgeport, Conn,; Miller Brothers, Meriden, Conn.; Southington Cutlery Co., Southington, Conn.; Old American Knife Co., Reynolds Bridge, Conn.; Watterville Cutlery Co., Waterville, Conn.; Thomaston Knife Co., Reynolds Bridge, Conn.; Humason and Bickley, New Britain, Conn.; John Russell Knife Co., Turners Falls, Mass.; Burkinshaw Pepperell Co., Mass.; Novelty Co., Canton, Ohio; Canton Cutlery Co., Canton, Ohio; Morris Cutlery Co., Morris, Ill.; Crandall Cutlery Co., Bradford, Pa.
"That's all the history I can give you," says Mrs. Buckingham. "Don't know where you'll get any more of it around here either. No knifemakers left except Old Man Dunbar. All gone. The Bensons and the Buxtons and them. All moved away."

Customer engagement is meeting customers' expectations, through the service experience. This can be seen cross functionally in the business, which also includes the behind the scenes preparation for new customer initiatives. Engagement is not just a face to face interaction. Elevating engagement with the customer will impact the current business situation and the long term relationship with the customer.
Consider these 5 tips for better engagement with the customer:
- Keep promises to customers-Customers are more than willing to give feedback on products and service that will make their current and the next experiences better. Once a customer has given the feedback, customize a personalized experience. Actually use the new information.
- Develop a culture and environment centered around the 'customer experience'-Developing into a customer focused business means establishing and setting expectations that are linked to other aspects of the business performance.
- Look at the various benefits with customer engagement-Each employee in the business should be on the lookout for ways to elevate the interactions with customers.
- Provide recognition to employees for going the extra mile-Look for those employees that don't just take the easy solution, but are consistently asking "how will this improve the customer's experience?"
- Keep the customer coming back-Engage customers so that they will continue to visit the business, make purchases, and tell others. Always consider what will excite and engage customers in new and different ways, to keep them continually engaged.

Welcome to the very first Director's Blog post! I'm hoping to touch on a wide range of topics, some personal, some professional, that will help you get to know me better and that will put a personal face on how I see my role in the library and in the greater Marin community.
I did not grow up thinking "I'm going to be a librarian when I'm older." I have fond library memories of the children's area in my small New Jersey town and of hanging out in the library as a high school student because it was the in place to be with my friends, but my college major was Russian Studies and I fully intended a career using those skills. My carefully thought through plans changed when just out of college, my husband went off to do military service, leaving me with an interesting but undemanding job. A local university offered a Masters in Library Science and the rest, as they say, is history. I've worked as a teen librarian, a reference librarian, and as an assistant director and director in several New England libraries. In my more than 20 years in Marin I've worked at several of our branches in different capacities and have been the director for 4 years. Looking back, I can't believe my luck in finding a career that has been both personally fulfilling and also gave me a chance to give back to all the communities in which I've lived.
Next time, the best and the least good about being County Librarian.

Unless you're a fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers or part of that even larger crowd that holds sportscaster Vin Scully in high esteem, you've probably read enough in this column about the man Angelenos lovingly refer to as "Vinnie." We've written about his acceptance of the invitation to be the Grand Marshal of the 125th Rose Parade, posted photos of the event, and written him up in our Rose Parade wrap up.
But did you see him in the parade on Jan. 1, 2014? In that great-looking 1950 Oldsmobile 98 Coupe Convertible, manufactured the same year he called his first ball game? Did you see how he idolized the fans who idolized him and screamed like little girls as he passed? Well, you can see that all here, in the slideshow with this article.
Scully's 65-year tenure with the Dodgers, which began the year his Rose Parade ride was manufactured, is the longest of any broadcaster with a single team in the history of all professional sports. He started young. He called his first game at age 22, at 25 became the youngest person to ever broadcast a World Series Game. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in1982 and was elected the top sportscaster of the 20th century by the non-profit American Sportscasters Association in 2000.
Here are some of the highlights of Scully's broadcast career:
- The only championship won by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1955
- Hank Aaron's record-setting 715th home run
- Kirk Gibson's miracle homer in the 1988 World Series
- Sandy Koufax's four no-hitters, including one perfect game
- Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series
- Scoreless inning streaks by Don Drysdale and Orel Hershiser
- Three perfect games, 25 no-hitters, 25 World Series and 12 All-Star games.
Humility and integrity are Scully's hallmarks beyond his broadcasting style. As 2014 Tournament of Roses President R. Scott Jenkins said, these are "his two most outstanding characteristics and the prime reasons I chose him." After the announcement, he told us, "I had to figure out why they were asking me." The only reason he could think of was his "longevity" and the fact that the Dodgers were having a successful season, "because I haven't done anything."

There's a mild kerfuffle about in the world of orthodox Catholicism, because Scottish philosopher (and advisor to the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Culture), has written a piece in The Tablet (pay wall) saying that it's time once again for the Catholic Church to ordain married men as priests:
This is not a case of simply increasing the number of clergy and nor is it an easy solution to the challenge of halting the decline. Rather a married contingent can better resemble and reassemble the faithful and speak to it of what they know of its needs and difficulties, and speak also to the celibates now not from without but within the brotherhood of the ordained.
The final straw, he says is the decade of sexual abuse scandals, which many Catholics still want to minimize by saying, "Hey, other people have this problem, too" (this month's example: the Boy Scouts):

Dream Song 14
by John Berryman
Analysis: Form and Meter
Reading "Dream Song 14" for the first time, you might have had moments where you thought there was some kind of form or pattern at work—and then the feeling faded and you were left with an invisible dog. Well, in the words of the great Jedi master, "Trust your feelings."
The Long and Short of a Sestet
Berryman is certainly working with a form in this one, and it's the same form he uses for pretty much all of his "Dream Songs." But it isn't a traditional form that's easy to smack a label on. The first thing you'll notice is that the eighteen lines of the poem are broken into three, six-line stanzas, known as "sestets."
Now can you see a pattern in the line lengths within each stanza? The long lines and short lines alternate in a particular way: long, long, short, long, long, short. Way to trust your form-findin' instincts, poetry killah! But what effect does this alternation of long and short lines have on our experience of this piece?
Well, the contrast between the long and short lines seems to draw the reader's attention to important moments in the poem. The short lines stand out from the longer lines around them. And there's all that white space at the end of 'em to leave the reader alone with the words for a moment longer.
So, Berryman wanted to emphasize lines like, "we ourselves flash and yearn," and "Peoples bore me." These are, indeed, crucial moments for developing the poem's central themes; they relate the speaker's boredom with his (visually striking) environment to how tedious he finds people, including himself—'cause it's all the same when you're suffering from a serious case of ennui (if you're not familiar with this word, it's a lovely French-derived term for world-weariness).
Stressed Out and Bored
But what about this poem's use of meter and rhyme?
As in the other "Dream Songs," Berryman uses the following metrical pattern here: the long lines are in pentameter and the short lines are in trimeter. This means that the long lines have five stressed syllables, while the short lines have three stressed syllables. Stressed syllables are the foot-thwappin' soul of metrical feet —the DUM in your dadaDUM.
Keep in mind, though, that metrical "rules" are meant to be broken. While the first five lines of this poem stick to the pattern (five feet, five feet, three feet, five feet, five feet), line 6 has only two feet: "means you have no." So what's up with the missing foot?
We think the metrical irregularity here—and elsewhere in the poem (e.g., line 14)—heightens the reader's sense that things are kinda off, you know? Just a little not quite right, the way you often feel about your surroundings and what's happening to you in your dreams. (Like, one minute you're wearing a clown suit, the next minute you're in your birthday suit, and you're like, "Hey, wha happened?")
Now, on to the rhyme scheme. There are a few straight-up rhymes in the poem, such as "so"/"no" and "drag"/"wag." There are also some imperfect or slant rhymes, including "me"/"achilles." So, like Berryman's metrical play, his use of rhyme in this piece further contributes to the poem's dream-like shiftiness. Sometimes you find yourself expecting a rhyme, but you don't get one. Sometimes you find yourself expecting dogs not to just up and disappear into the sky or whatever, but then—BAM! This is Berryman's Dreamland, and he'll do what he wants.

So, let's jump right into an amazing wedding I planned at the gorgeous seaside Montage Laguna Beach in Laguna Beach, CA.
This bride and groom lived in Southern California but the rest of the 120 guests came from the mid-west for the weekend of festivities. Upon checking into their hotels they were welcomed with a cloth tote bag with the wedding date imprinted on it and filled with lots of goodies related to California like sunscreen, fresh oranges, almonds, custom labeled bottled water, a (free!) book from the local Visitor's Bureau showing restaurants, art galleries and upcoming events and more.
The bride and groom love clean, simple lines so the décor designer, John Creager, came up with some very striking décor that was simple but lusciously sumptuous.
The hotel's ceremony lawn stands at the edge of the Pacific- you simply can't beat that view and there is no point in trying to compete with it. Take a look at the image below for two views of the ceremony –one of the set up and one while the ceremony was taking place.
The cocktail hour was set on an adjacent lawn then, when the chimes were rung to signal the beginning of the dinner reception, guests were escorted to the hotel ballroom. In the foyer they found their seating card displayed and when most people had congregated, I did one last check to make sure that all décor was perfect, the servers were at their positions and that the music was playing. We then threw the doors open and my assistants were close by with a copy of the room diagram and guest list to help guests find their table.
What gives this room the amazing look is that we draped all four walls with white fabric and carpeted the entire ballroom floor in white. This provided a blank canvas for the lovely contemporary pink and black décor and the stunning tall centerpieces with multiple strands of white orchids and hanging candles in glistening glass. The clean lines of the lounge furniture further complemented the contemporary look. But imagine the room without the lighting- it just would be missing so much and this exceptional lighting is the frosting on the cake. Love this shiny black dance floor and the wonderful reflections it made.
Rather than favors at each place, the bride and groom offered their guests a Sweet Dreams table which was set up in the foyer (using the same table where the table cards had been displayed.) It was set up during the dining and unveiled as the dancing began. We were sure to have enough candy for people to snack on it before they scooped little bags of it to take along as they departed.
Planner Tip:
Give your guests different "experiences" for each portion of the wedding day. Choose a location or venue where you can have the ceremony separate from the cocktail hour (you can serve "mocktails" if you don't wish to serve alcoholic beverages). Then give guests a third "experience" when they enter the ballroom or dining area- be sure that they don't enter until all the décor is in place and looking fabulous, the servers are ready and the music is playing to set the mood. Open the doors in unison and listen for the collective "Wow!" exclaimed as they see the room for the first time.
To Do or Not to Do?:
The question I hear often is "Should I have a choice of entrée on the response card?" I generally recommend not doing that for several reasons. 1). You will have to track this and give an exact count to the venue or caterer at the last minute- why make extra work for yourself during wedding week crunch time? 2). You will have to have some way for the server to distinguish which guest ordered which entrée so they can serve it with elegance and not have to ask each person before placing their plate. 3).People forget what they ordered. I doubt you know what you will want to eat in a month from now so why should your guests have to make that choice before when they send in their RSVP. 4). Some change their mind when they see and smell the food being served – I've heard this comically described as "food envy"- which can slow down service, or worse yet, throw the plate count off in the kitchen causing some of the last tables to be served not to get their choice.

From Our Editors
After moisturizing backs with Banyan Botanicals essential oils, licensed massage therapist Antoinette Williams kneads physiques with tension-alleviating massages. Antoinette's therapeutic hand strokes improve range of motion in struggling muscles and range of emotion in struggling actors, incorporating the strokes of Swedish and deep-tissue massage or specialized kneads customized for pregnant or geriatric patients. Antoinette can further enhance massage sessions with steamy hot towels or mini facials, in which essential oils seep into skin via a mask of Dead Sea mud and chamomile. With both anti-inflammatory and healing properties, the oils can soothe acne-prone skin, diminish the appearance of sun damage, or repair bruises from years of practicing Three Stooges–style pratfalls.

Driving advice Parking tickets in Scotland and NI
Parking regulations differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland
Parking ticket rules in Scotland
In some parts of Scotland (mainly outside the larger cities), parking is still controlled by the police, and breaches are a criminal offence, so police officers or police traffic wardens will issue Fixed Penalty Notices.
Elsewhere, the situation is the same as in England and Wales. Appeals against Penalty Charge Notice parking tickets issued by councils in Scotland are dealt with by the Parking and Bus Lane Tribunal for Scotland (formerly the Scottish Parking Appeals Service).
The Parking and Bus Lane Tribunal for Scotland does not have a website, but you can contact them by phone on 0131 221 0409

Parking ticket rules in Northern Ireland
Since October 2006, Northern Ireland has moved over to a decriminalised system of parking regulation, and enforcement is the responsibility of the Department of the Environment Roads Service.
The Parking Enforcement Processing Unit (PEPU) is responsible for collecting parking ticket fines, enforcing non-payment and arbitrating on disputes.
On-street parking and waiting restrictions are now enforced through parking attendants, provided by private contractor National Car Parks (NCP). They issue Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) in the same way as in the rest of the UK.
If you receive a PCN parking ticket and want to appeal, first write to PEPU stating why the notice is unfair or incorrect. Its address is:
Parking Enforcement Processing Unit
Roads Service
County Hall
Castlerock Road
If PEPU rejects your parking ticket appeal, you can appeal through the NI Traffic Penalty Tribunal.

The Long Island Rail Road will not be back in service in time for the Wednesday morning rush hour commute and it remains unclear when trains will start rolling again after Hurricane Sandy slammed the system.
"Our goal is to restore as much service as possible when it is safe to do so," the MTA said in a Tuesday night statement after posting images of East River tunnel flooding, West Side Yard erosion and boats on the tracks in Island Park.
Downed trees, utility poles and powerlines remain obstacles to service restoration along with damage to signals, right-of-ways and other critical infrastructure, the MTA said. LIRR crews are working to make repairs.
New York City Subway service is also suspended indefinitely due to serious flooding. City buses are running. For more infrmation call 511 or visit www.mta.info

The P90X phenomenon has had tremendous influence on how people approach their fitness goals. The advertised driving principle behind P90X is the concept of muscle confusion. The idea that you need to constantly vary your workouts to keep the muscles guessing for maximum fat loss.
This concept is presented by the Team Beachbody people as though they invented the idea. People that have been around for a while know better. The muscle confusion principle was written about the Father of Bodybuilding Joe Weider 50 plus years ago. The difference was that for Joe muscle confusion was considered an advanced bodybuilding training concept. It was not recommended for beginners.
As a pragmatist, if confusing your muscles works for you, be about it. For people not in the advanced bodybuilding stage, some of the smartest minds in fitness advocate a different approach. They recommend that beginners stick with basic fundamental movements.
The reason they advocate this approach is that as simple as many of these movements look there is a whole lot going on in the body. The smart play for beginners is to stick with those movements long enough for the body to learn those movements. By practicing these movements and focusing on the mind-muscle connection you can get better muscle recruitment and therefore better and SAFER progress.
The faulty assumption underpinning the muscle confusion principle in P90X is that you need muscle confusion in order not to be stagnate in your training. The truth is you need a way to progress your training, but there are a million ways to do this other than confusing your muscles.

Sales of existing homes increased 2.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.04 million for June, according to a National Association of Realtors, or NAR, report released Tuesday.
After clocking in at a revised 4.91 million rate for May, analysts were pleasantly surprised by Tuesday's report, having expected a smaller bump to a 4.99 million rate. Compared to June 2013 sales, however, existing-home sales are still down 2.3%. The numbers include completed transactions on single-family homes, town houses, condominiums, and co-ops.
For the same month, the housing inventory increased 2.2% to 2.30 million existing homes, helping to "push overall supply toward a more balanced market," according to the NAR. At the current sales rate, this represents a 5.5-month supply of existing homes, the same as May's supply.
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun gave his seal of approval to June's sales and supplies increases:
Inventories are at their highest level in over a year and price gains have slowed to much more welcoming levels in many parts of the country. This bodes well for rising home sales in the upcoming months as consumers are provided with more choices. On the contrary, new home construction needs to rise by at least 50 percent for a complete return to a balanced market because supply shortages – particularly in the West – are still putting upward pressure on prices.
The current $223,300 median existing-home price is 4.3% above June 2013 levels, and marks the 28th straight month of annual price gains. The median time on the market fell three days from May to 44, and is a week above June 2013's median time.

One aspect of the city's bankruptcy has been an attempt to get more bang for the buck in terms of services. Detroit's trash pickup has always been lacking, in some cases to the point where collection was as much as two or three working days late. But now that trash collection has been privatized it looks as though a new leaf has been turned.
In the Woodbridge area of Detroit, residents were expected to have their garbage picked up anytime after 7AM on Fridays. No one took the timing seriously, for it rarely mattered: the actual pickup would be at least well into the morning if not the few days late already mentioned. Yet today the trucks of Rizzo Environmental Services were patrolling area streets almost right at 7. Neighbors running late were scampering to get their trash cans out ahead of the garbage trucks. Rizzo has the contract for most of southwest, central, and east Detroit; Advanced Disposal will cover most of the west side of town.
There will be regular weekly collection of normal household trash, and regular bi-weekly collection in season of yard waste and all year for bulk items. Before, yard waste was often left in the streets and on the curbs in Woodbridge, and bulk collections were only 4 times a year. For those into it, for the first time in Detroit history there will be curbside collection of recyclables, albeit for a one time $25 fee. All of this simply because garbage collection is privately run. All of it after Kwame Kilpatrick had an added $300 charge to city residents' property tax to pay for better trash service which was never really delivered.
This is a prime example of where private initiative trumps public intentions. The city can't pick up trash on its own because it has no real competition, while Rizzo and Advanced Disposal know they will be, ah, kicked to the curb if they don't live up to expectations. We see the effects of that in the garbage trucks out and about right when they're supposed to be.
Privatization works. In the long, it will improve Detroit in more ways and manners than garbage collection too.

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper

About Us
Veteran Australian travel agent Graeme Smyth, who has the Harvey World Franchise at Menai, Sydney began organising a motorhome tour through Canada and Alaska in 2003. Over the next ten years the interest in Graeme's unique concept of organising a group of motor homes to cover a destignated route, with pre-booked stops at RV parks along the way has really taken off, as it offers a lot of freedom for participants to explore their particular interests as they travel through some fascinating regions of North America.
The added attraction of doing a journey without constant packing and unpacking, or doing most things in a large group – and not having the burden of everything being time sensitive has proved a huge success with people who are used to caravaning, and those who are new to motorhome travelling.
Over time Graeme has developed a number of tours in various parts of Alaska, Canada and the continental USA.
These are constantly revised and refined to ensure the quality of all aspects of the adventure are maintained.
Now Graeme offers his package of outstanding tours through this web site, dedicated only to motorhome convoy touring in North America.
Graeme regularly leads tours himself, and has a team of experienced tour leaders to travel with each tours.
As you'll see, going through our web site, care is taken to ensure your trip is a great adventure.
Driving a motorhome on the other side of the road is not daunting.
No special license is required – but there are some things to note with each of the itineries and the terms and conditions,
especially regarding the insurance of the motorhome.
Please have a look at Graeme's introductory video and the video about motorhome touring.

Hines Ward was the backbone to all those tough Steelers teams, winning two Super Bowls. He knows the tight knit fabric the Steelers had, and now their fiercest rival the Baltimore Ravens possess, unity.
The Steelers never threw each other under the bus, and more so, they protected each other. However, with talk of salary cap problems and a mass exodus of players predicted, Armegedon has fallen upon the Pittsburgh locker room.
Ward tells it like it is, back in the days it was nothing like this.
"When you lose so much leadership in the locker room, that's when things present itself like that," Ward said, via Ken Patra of NFL.com. "Guys start finger-pointing, calling out other guys.
That is not the Steeler way. We've always had a rule: We are a band of brothers. We've always collectively kept everything in house. ... But there was no finger-pointing and calling each other out. That's a total disarray, a locker room in disarray,"

The McMillens are proof that anyone can be destroyed by addiction, no matter the money, success or family support. Multi-millionaire Karl McMillen built his plumbing company from the ground up and provided a life for his wife and two sons that most could only dream of. But it couldn't save them. McMillen shares with co-authors Bill Hayes and Jennifer Thomas the heart-wrenching story of losing his entire family to addiction and disease in his new biography Triumphs and Tragedies: A True Story of Wealth and Addiction (July 2013, Final Word Press).
McMillen explains in his book that enabling didn't help his sons, but demonstrates how it was nearly impossible to avoid. Their horrifying riches-to-rags journey from the serene and swanky shores of Hermosa Beach, California, to a never-ending series of prison cells, health problems, and eventual death shows the raw and painful moments the McMillens faced each day.
Take a few minutes and read the first chapter of Triumphs and Tragedies: A True Story of Wealth and Addiction, which Karl McMillen has generously shared with the LA Books Examiner. Be sure to share it with the booklovers in your life.

December 25, 1975—A "white Christmas" is rare in Southern California. Christmas is cold, however—at least by some standards; and the cold of the season can cut in many ways. But it was warm in the new Cadillac. The car was making its way north up the I-5 from the rich Pacific shore of the South Bay to the bottom of Five Mile Grade, the long uphill pull that summits into "the Grapevine"—the volatile rocky straits that link the southern and northern ends of the Golden State.
The Caddy wasn't going that far.
The end of the line would be Wayside Honor Rancho in Castaic. That jail was about the only thing out there in those days; the residential swell of Los Angeles hadn't yet spread into that particular pocket of wilderness. The area's population was coyotes, cats, hungry hawks, and dinner-sized rabbits. And the prisoners of Wayside.
On that windy Christmas morning, Karl and Thelma McMillen rode up there in their cozy, well-waxed Cadillac to see two of those prisoners.
Their sons.
Wayside—later to become the Sheriff Peter Pitchess Detention Center—was a clearing house for inmates. A layover on the way to the various "big houses" around the state.
The McMillens parked behind the gates and boarded a prison bus to take them along the rest of the two-mile trail into the facility. The bus was in chilled contrast to the Cadillac—with graffiti, filmy windows, and an overall stickiness on the floor that made walking a noisy and nauseating business. Their traveling companions in the stiff seats around them were not like the company they usually kept. This wasn't exactly their social niche.
But they were getting somewhat used to this shabby parallel world.
In their world, they knew the comfort of nice restaurants and the calm of coastal campouts and getaways; on the other side of the dim portal, they were becoming all too familiar with destinations like this one. And Corcoran. And Chino. And Jamestown. And Susanville.
No Christmas carols brightened the background of the waiting room. No bright decorations or glowing trees lit the visiting area. Just the weak lighting in the "cages"—the thick, glassed-in cubicles where inmates, soul mates, friends, family, and others on the official visitation list could share some magical, hands-off moments through the scratched opaque-and-wire mesh and the greasy short-wired phone receivers.
Tidings of comfort and joy...
This wasn't the first, or last, holiday that Mark McMillen, twenty- one, and Chris McMillen, nineteen, would spend behind bars.
But on that special morning, the prisoner dispersal shuffle worked out in such a way that it gave an appropriately special gift to the McMillens. After all, it was Christmas. It wasn't tied with a red ribbon, certainly, or wrapped in the velvet of a jewelry box, but it was something to be cherished. The California penal system's version
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh was the convenience of having the McMillen sons both in Wayside at the same time.
The brothers had been arrested separately on unrelated offenses, so the idea that they were both passing through this transitional facility at the same time, en route to separate long-term lockups, really was a Christmas miracle right up there with George Bailey's angel.
The boys were even placed in side-by-side cages, allowing the McMillens to visit with them both simultaneously.
Merry Christmas.
Although Wayside was isolated in one of the last vestiges of scenic rurality in L.A. County, Mark and Chris's home on The Strand in Hermosa Beach had much better views, salt-water scents, and ocean sounds—ones that didn't involve distorted thick plastic, stale cigarette stench, and the rampant roar of growled arguments and orders.
But Hermosa was fifty miles and a million litigious light- years away.
Karl McMillen, Jr., had built a business—and a family, or so he thought—based upon honesty, integrity, and climbing those steep walls to success completely exposed, out in the open. It was so hard being in a facility that was a monument to the antithesis of all that.
It was so hard seeing his two fortunate sons mired in the antithesis of all that.
Karl knew "the good life," certainly, in the economic sense. But at his core, he had always been a jeans, tennies, and camp-on-the- ground kind of guy—looking at each day, each sunrise, each sunset, and each crash of an ocean wave as a miracle to be savored.
His sons grew to look at each day very differently. Sunrises became continuums of lost nights. Each day—whenever it began—was just another exercise in artful dodging and hustling. Dodging the law, hustling for drugs.
Sometimes Chris and Mark would reach out, wanting so badly to reconnect and to re-savor those bright days and miracle waves.
Sometimes. But drugs have power. Addiction has power. And sometimes—for a variety of reasons—the good guys lose. Those reasons haunt. They lead to sleepless nights of second
guesses in the restless dark. Karl would spend plenty of those haunted and restless nights, seeking those reasons again and again. He knew that somehow this whole horrible situation needed to become an example for others. That it could somehow help extend strong hands the next time someone reached out. That it could help turn lost nights back into days that could be cherished for the miracles that they are— not the distortions and twists of a parallel world of poisons and pain.
But new images would add to a lifetime of haunting.
The flat gray of the Wayside visiting room wasn't quite the blue of the Pacific; the concrete chill of the scuffed floor was definitely not the warm shores of Baja or Australia that the family had enjoyed together.
Still, looking at their beloved sons did provide a cocktail of holiday cheer for Karl and Thelma—mulled with the spices of sorrow and shame. Prison tattoos had replaced the tans. Handcuffs had replaced the shortboard leashes.
What child is this...?
The tattoos may have been the worst for Karl—hard-hewn scarlet letters that were sick proof that all of this was actually happening.
How did we get here?
Visiting hours over, the phone receivers hung up, Chris and Mark were ushered back to their cells, and the Caddy headed south—returning to the beach. To a home no longer defined as it had once been.
No parties filled the beachfront patio; the shelves and walls had been stripped of their surfing-contest awards. The high hopes for this family and its sons had changed—from sky's-the-limit potential to a mere day-to-day hope of survival.
And then to mourning and head-shaking sorrow.
What never did change was Karl McMillen's appreciation of those daily miracles. Many more Christmas mornings like that one at Wayside would lead to Karl's showing his appreciation in more intense and tangible ways. His sons' tragic choices would become an example and a caring catalyst for helping others.

College Hockey:Gaarder scores twice for North Dakota, which blanks Western Michigan for third in NCHC
MINNEAPOLIS — Asked how his team was able to right the ship and score five goals Saturday after being shut out Friday night, North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol flashed one of his stoic smiles and retorted, "We put Connor Gaarder on the ice."
Whether he was joking or not, Gaarder's mischief between the dots was just what the doctor ordered.
NCHC playoffs
See the tournament bracket and get links to schedules and stories at NCHC Playoff Central.
North Dakota couldn't get inside the perimeter in most of Friday's 3-0 semifinal loss to Miami. So early in Saturday afternoon's third-place game, UND's grinders made sure to change that.
Gaarder scored the first of his two goals just 1:42 into the game, tipping a Keaton Thompson point shot past Frank Slubowski (24 saves). He tallied another after collecting the rebound off of a Troy Stecher shot at 10:27.
"It's always good to establish a good net front early in the game, giving the goalie some tough shots and pushing him back in his crease," Gaarder said. "I think we did that early on and it helped out throughout the game."
Despite keeping up the pressure with UND, the Broncos were already out of contention for the NCAA tournament and North Dakota's resolve may have been too much to handle.
North Dakota (23-13-3) was able to shift into cruise control from there, keeping the Broncos (19-6-5) off the scoreboard and not relenting.
Western Michigan certainly didn't go away quietly, plugging away and keeping the game close in the second. But the Broncos weren't able to find an answer for Zane Gothberg, who cashed in his third shutout of the season (and collegiate career) with 25 saves.
And when Jordan Schmaltz plugged in a shot from near the right boards to push the lead to 3-0 at 11:00 of the third, that was all she wrote for the Broncos.
"It's interesting. We made two mistakes and they scored two goals," Broncos coach Andy Murray said. "We had two coverage mistakes where our guy didn't pick up the right player. We had a tap-in and a point shot on both of them. I think we had some decent scoring chances over 40 minutes. Even early in the third period I thought we were good. But when that third goal went in, it was pretty tough for us after that."
UND was able to roll for two more goals in the third. Just after a five-on-three power play expired, Rocco Grimaldi made it 4-0 on a shot from the doorstep that originally looked to be saved on the goal line by Broncos defenseman Kenney Morrison. A review showed the puck crossed the line for the fourth goal at 13:34.
Then just a few minutes later, Paul LaDue rounded out the scoring, slapping in a point shot right after another five-on-three had begun to capitalize on another opportunity that UND couldn't seize Friday night.
"I look back at last night's game and we missed several golden opportunities," said Hakstol. "We had an open net in the first period and an empty net in the second period and made pretty good plays on them, but the puck just didn't go in. It's a game of inches."
Overall, Hakstol said, "we didn't do a whole lot different. We penetrated a little bit better, and the puck went in those empty nets."
Hakstol said the team was going to stay in town and leave late Saturday night, watching and waiting to see if results around the country were going to fall in UND's favor. That's all the team could do.
"That puts us in a situation where while we don't control our own destiny; we gave ourselves a good chance," Hakstol said. "We did what we had to do today. We played a good hockey game."

Rocket, Solid Fuel, Boxer, 24-Pounder
This is a 24-pounder Boxer war rocket briefly used by the British Army in 1864-1865. This specimen was fired about 1863 from a firing range, but recovered in 1974 and restored in 1980. Invented by Lt. Col. Edward M. Boxer, Royal Artillery, the Boxer rocket was an improved version of the Congreve war rocket developed in the early 19th century by the Englishman, William Congreve.
The Boxer rocket featured a stronger rocket case with a thicker wall and the repositioning and reduction of exhaust vents from five to three. It also employed a stronger powder. However, the Boxer rocket was replaced in 1867 by the stickless, or rotary rocket invented by another Englishman, William Hale. This object was donated to the Smithsonian in 1979 by the Royal Arsenal, U.K.

Fresh Thyme Farmers Market opens at 7 AM this morning in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Oakley. This will be the fifth store in the fledgling grocery store chain.
As the name suggests, Fresh Thyme is a place where there is an emphasis on fresh food. Touring the store during a pre-grand opening event on Monday evening, that approach was quite noticeable, beginning with the baked goods. The variety of freshly baked bread and rolls offered there was far greater than other stores of its size. For example, pretzel-style bread was offered as loaves, sandwich buns, dinner rolls, and snack-size bites. Sandwiches, wraps, and pizzas were all offered made-to-order, with the Boar's Head brand as a primary partner. Many varieties of cookies were sold individually. Gluten-free items are available in a good selection.
A full-service meat counter also awaited its first customers. A dozen or so different house-made sausages were fresh items there, both pork and chicken. These sausage were also noticeably inexpensive, clearly besting Whole Foods. A variety of meat was also in cases on the sales floor, including bison, lamb, goat, duck, and grass-fed beef, along with pork and chicken.
Tucked away in another corner of the store was the juice counter. Fruit juices are also freshly squeezed daily, and a full-service juice bar is a concept the company is considering. A salad bar with great selection, and a olive and antipasto bar that included mixed olives with feta, pickled Italian peppers, and beans in vinaigrette completed the offerings of fresh and prepared food.
"Fresh food is our primary approach," said Sage Horner, Senior Vice President for Sales, Merchandising, and Marketing. "Our produce is in the center of the store, and we use low-profile merchandising so it can be seen. " And it should be seen, stacked in pyramids like you might remember from your childhood. "We have at least 100 organic produce items at any given time, sometimes as many as 150. Tonight, we stand at about 120," Horner said. "Better for you at a value." Bulk items were prominently featured nearby, with 400 items available, including liquids like olive oil, agave syrup, and honey.
Sage also pointed out the 9000 vitamins and supplements, many of which are offered with private label at a value price. "In this area, we strive to have the best selection, and the most knowledgeable employees," he said.
In addition to this store, at 3321 Alamo Avenue in the Oakley section, Fresh Thyme Farmers Market will be arriving at 11349 Montgomery Road later in 2014.

Today at Stamford Bridge, London, Spanish Football's Atletico Madrid defeated Premiership contenders Chelsea FC 3-1 in the decisive second leg of their Champions League semifinal tie. Atletico will now meet Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo in the May 24th final in Lisbon, Portugal.What a year for La Liga teams.
Knowing that only a score would take them to Lisbon, Chelsea coach, the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, had his team thinking about attacking. Responding in kind, and knowing that a 1-1 tie would suffice for Madrid, Atletico coach, the Argentine Diego Simeone had his team play their regular game--looking for a goal but risking little in defense.
The game was interesting in that the most defensive teams in the Premier League and La Liga were actually forced to attack. But few chances were actually created over the first 35 minutes.
Then, at the 36th, William found himself in the far right corner of Atletico's side and surrounded by two Madrid players. He managed to get past both defenders, and once free was tripped, but his pass reached Chelsea's Spanish defender Cesar Azpilicueta who crossed quickly to Fernando Torres. Chelsea's Spanish, ex-Atletico striker, one-timed a shot that touched a Madrid defender on its way in for the score. It was the first goal Madrid keeper, Thibaut Courtois, had allowed in 595 continuous minutes of play.
Madrid did not panic, their script was still intact, their need to score was not outsized since a single goal would seem them through. And their patience paid off at the 44th minute when Tiago sent a great cross to a streaking Juanfran at the far right post of Australian goalkeeper, Mark Schwarzer, in for the injured Petr Cech. Juanfran acrobatically volleyed the ball across the goal to Adrian Lopez who rifled the ball up and in from close range. Game tied and advantage to Atletico.
The half ended 1-1 and the second half began with a desperate Chelsea and a calmer Madrid.
When after several minutes and many fruitless attacks ensued, and Atletico seemed unfazed and in fact was having at least as many chances, Mourinho started to substitute strategically. He brought in strikers for defenders and fresh strikers for tiring ones. Ashley Cole came out for Samule Etoo and later Torres came out for Demba Ba. But without a playmaker, strikers can often times find themselves rudderless and so it was with Chelsea as the coach did not bring the likes of Oscar onto the pitch.
At the 58th minute Etoo challenged Costa to a ball at the top of the box and brought the Madrid player down. Penalty! Costa set up to take it but found the penalty spot had a divot and the ball was cradled in it. He complained to the ref when the official asked him to put the ball right on the spot and receiving no solace the striker simply stomped the spot to even out the divot. The ref interpreted the stomping as dissent and gave Costa a yellow. The Chelsea players took advantage and used the occasion to try to rattle Costa further. But the striker would not wither.
Costa scooped the ball with his shot and placed it shoulder at height and to Schwarzer's right side when the keeper guessed left. Madrid 2, Chelsea 1.
Five minutes later a great Chelsea sustained attack saw the ball hit the Madrid post and head toward goal only to have Courtois' reflex save keep the ball out of the net. Nine minutes later Madrid put the game away.
At the 72nd minute another attack from Madrid found Eden Hazard lacking in his marking chores as Juanfran again got loose and unleashed a great cross that Arda Turan ran straight into and headed squarely. The ball beat Schwarzer but hit the crossbar. Only Turan is old school and he followed his shot into the box. He was duly rewarded when the rebound came right back at him. He simply had to slot it into the net for the third and final score.
This was not the game Mou had dreamed about, but frankly neither was it the one Simeone envisioned. But it was a well earned and fair win for the better team on the day. At the beginning of the Champions League tournament many might have thought an all-Spanish final was possible but they were probably thinking of Merengues and Catalans. Rarely have two teams from the same city competed for such a prize, but both finalists are surely deserving.

About a million jars of peanut butter were dumped in a landfill as the result of a sticky situation. The building in which the jars were housed was sold, so their departure needed to happen to expedite the closing. The peanut butter came out of the plant that was the center of the 2013 salmonella outbreak, which constituted a nationwide recall, according to MSN Money on March 28.
After "extensive testing" all parties agreed that the peanut butter was fine for human consumption. It was made from the $2.8 million worth of Valencia peanuts that Costco owned. The jars of the product were made for Costco to sell in their stores. The peanuts had been in the plant since the company filed for bankruptcy and shut-down.
With extensive testing proving the peanut butter was fine, Costco agreed to sell the peanut butter in their stores, which was in accordance of a court order authorizing the sale. Then after Costco accepted eight loads, they deemed the merchandise "not merchantable" because of leaky peanut oil and rejected the rest.
With the peanut butter perfectly fine to eat, Sunland Inc, the plant that manufactured the product, reports that Costco would not agree to sell or donate it. Sunland made requests to donate the jars to food banks or have the peanut butter repackaged and sold to institutions such as prisons.
Costco refused any other outcome for the peanut butter, ordering the estimated million jars destroyed. According to USA today, "court records show that on a March 19 conference call Costco said "it would not agree to any disposition … other than destruction."
Sunland made and packaged the peanut butter for a variety of stores like Costco, Trader Joe's and Kroger. It also sold peanut butter under its own label.
The peanut butter was shipped to a New Mexico landfill with the last of the 58 trucks carrying the peanut butter expected to arrive today, Friday March 28. This also happens to be the same day that the new company that purchased the plant closed on the property.

The crew was awakened to the Irish song "The Rising of the Moon" performed by The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem, selected for Discovery's Pilot Jim Kelly by his family in honor of St. Patrick's Day tomorrow.
Two more full days of joint work remain before Discovery is scheduled to undock from the complex Sunday night. Tonight, in addition to packing work, Commander Jim Wetherbee will perform a third and final reboost of the station's altitude, gently firing the shuttle's small steering jets to raise the spacecraft by a little over two statute miles. Altogether, Discovery will leave the station a little more than seven miles higher than when it arrived.
Wetherbee, Kelly, Paul Richards and Andy Thomas will take a break from other activities to field questions from NBC News' Weekend Today Show and ABC News at 5:20 a.m. Saturday. An hour later, at 6:22 a.m., Cosmonauts Yury Usachev, commander of the second International Space Station crew, Yuri Gidzenko, pilot of the first station crew, and Sergei Krikalev, flight engineer for the first station crew, will field questions from media gathered at the Russian Mission Control Center in Korolev, outside Moscow.
The shuttle and station remain in excellent condition orbiting Earth every 92 minutes.
