Untraditional Neoclassical Combination
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
Caution: This story and the accompanying photographs may inspire intense envy. This 3,100-square-foot home in Bridgeport, occupied by the Melin family, is one worthy of more positive adjectives than the average computer thesaurus contains. But what might be the proverbial frosting on ...

Entertaining at Home
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
Whether you've opted to host an evening soiree complete with classic noise makers and midnight kisses or you prefer to create a more casual daytime celebration for the New Year, one thing will remain the same: Champagne is a must. It has been sipped out of shoes in popular commercials...

Time to De-holiday your Home
SITE AREA: Your Home - Interior Looks
The torn wrapping paper has been cleaned up and recycled. The dishes are washed and back in the cabinets and most importantly, the relatives have all returned home. Now the Christmas tree is starting to dry out, the electric bill has been maxed, and the holiday colors are clashing wit...

Kid's Review
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
Since winter break is here, I have been asking people what they most enjoy doing over the vacation with their friends and family in the SCV. The following list includes some of the places and activities kids have recommended to me. Doing different crafts such as constructing gingerbre...

Is it Time for a New You?
SITE AREA: Family - Family Features
It's the beginning of a new year and many of us will be taking a good, hard look at ourselves in the mirror and think... "Jeez, I need a makeover!" Whether it's droopy eyelids or saggy breasts, one too many wrinkles or a dull, unattractive smile, there are plenty affordable options fo...

Ann on Aging
SITE AREA: Health - Seniors
There is nothing cute about caregiving. It is the number- reason for work loss in today's economy, representing billions of dollars in lost time and wages. The typical caregiver is a 46-year-old Baby Boomer woman with some college education who works and spends more than 20 hours per ...

The Family Therapist is In
SITE AREA: Health - Healthy & Happy
Whether it's your screaming child in the grocery store, your young child who won't stop bugging you to buy something during a trip to the mall, or your teenager who's defensive because he was caught coming in after curfew, we all run into the moment of engagement: that brief period of...

Get Healthy in 2007

Live Better!
SITE AREA: Health - Focus on your Health
Addiction happens. Do you drink coffee? Need an afternoon candy pick-me-up? Do you jog every morning? Walk the dog? Do you have a ritual you follow at work? Anything that you do everyday, without fail, is probably an addiction. Some very unhealthy but highly addictive habits, like ill...

Dee-lish! - Piccola Trattoria
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - The Dish
Word of mouth certainly travels fast - especially when it's good news about Piccola Trattoria, the locally owned wine bar/restaurant in Canyon Country. The name is deceiving because this "piccola" (which means "little" in Italian) eating spot is certainly anything but small when it co...

Repertory East Playhouse Begins Ambitious 2007 Season
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
It's Friday evening and you're thumbing through the local movie theater listings. Nothing new there - a pair of predictable sequels, another inane romantic comedy and a handful of big-on-the-budget, small-on-the-story "blockbusters" you'd rather wait to catch on DVD. Disappointed, you...

Twelve Cars of Christmas
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
At this time of year we joyfully revel in tradition. Decorating a tree, sharing a family meal, singing carols; they're all part of the season. But the carols were written long ago. This is the 21st century. Our modern world has lost the meaning of those songs from bygone eras. Look at...

Movers and Shakers
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
Yeah, there were plenty of photogenic people who attended the Boys & Girls Club's Festival of Trees this year, but the award for "best dressed" didn't go to any of them; it went to the stars of the fest: the trees. Still, since this column is called "Movers & Shakers," we figured that...

Ring Out
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Entertainment
New Year's Eve is the most important date night of the year. It's more than just the lead-in to scratching out "2006" on your checks for the next few weeks; it measures your success as a social animal. If you only go out once this year, New Year's Eve is a must. Don't spend another Ne...

Get Out of Town! - Considering a Rose Parade Overnighter?
SITE AREA: Eat, Drink & Play - Get Out of Town
Generally, it is the travel writer's job to tell you to where to go. There are times, however, when duty compels him to do otherwise, and he steers you away from certain destinations. This is one of those times. Looming just beyond Christmas is one of the greatest potential travel deb...

Don't make 2007 another Missed Opportunity
SITE AREA: Business
If you're planning to make any New Year's resolutions this month, you may not want to read this. But for your sake, I hope you do. Actually, my motives aren't completely selfless. I hope you read this for my sake, too. And not just for my sake. I'm writing for the sake of everyone wh...

Total Financial Makeover
SITE AREA: Business
The holiday season seems to be lasting longer and longer each year. It used to be that Halloween would come and go and then a couple of weeks would pass before the Thanksgiving decorations and turkeys would flood our local stores and shopping malls. Now, holiday seasons overlap and se...

SCV High School Football Kicks it Up a Notch
