- Color, Warmth, and Sparkle January 13, 2014
Patchwork quilts already have some special connotations.
Frequently, they evoke memories of a family member who spent hours stitching–or friends who joined together to create a quilt as a special-occasion gift. Their patterns can be beautiful–and often intricate.
The USC Pacific Asia Museum’s current exhibition, “Ralli Quilts: Contemporary Art from Pakistan” takes that tradition and craftsmanship to another level.
On display from now until March 2, the ralli quilts are undeniably beautiful. Unlike their Western counterparts, though, many of them incorporate sequins, mirrors and elaborate embroidery–which add up to some striking designs.
USC Pacific Asia Museum Curator Bridget Bray offered a preview of this new exhibit.
The USC Pacific Asia Museum, at 46 North Los Robles in Pasadena, will be hosting its “Ralli Quilts: Contemporary Art From Pakistan” exhibit from now through Sunday, March 2nd.

- “1945” Could Be His Landmark March 1, 2013
Nashville singer/songwriter Brad Mackeson takes his listeners on a journey. And that journey is the story of his heritage.
Brad’s new debut full-length album, 1945, has an eclectic mix of influences, including Bob Dylan, Wilco and John Lennon. The title cut introduces Brad’s inaugural work: a “concept” album that functions on several levels.
While his songs are loosely based on the story of his grandparents’ relationship (1945 was the year they met, in England), the album also tracks the “journey” of falling in love and the stages of a relationship–good and bad.
Brad talked about creating his new album, and the creative process behind the songs on 1945.
Brad Mackeson performs at 10:00 on Friday, March 1, at Room 5 in Los Angeles.

- “ASPCC Recognizes…Administration Erred” February 28, 2013
A censure is a formal reprimand. A no-confidence vote is a statement that a person in a leadership position, is considered unfit to continue.
On Wednesday, February 27th, Associated Students of Pasadena City College voted both to censure and to approve a motion of no confidence in PCC’s current administration under Superintendent/President Dr. Mark Rocha.
These measures came about as a result of PCC’s Board of Trustees’ late-August, 2012, changes to PCC’s academic calendar–eliminating Wintersession and creating a “trimester” schedule, against previous AS recommendations. Associated Students Executive Board members say that they were not consulted on this action; the changes occurred just prior to the start of PCC’s fall semester. At the time, officials assured students that these changes would not impact their plans to transfer to four-year universities.

- A Digital Approach to Fitness February 28, 2013
A lot of times, when kids are out of shape, technology is at least partly to blame.
Healthcare professional Chelsea Salisbury is turning that around.
A colorful digital kids’ pedometer made by GeoPalz® inspired Chelsea to implement a technology-based fitness program in her local North Carolina elementary schools. Her “Walking the World” program incorporated both the pedometers and a spirit of fun and competition–and resulted in students becoming much more physically active.
At 2013 International CES, in Las Vegas, Chelsea talked about her successful program, some of the new digital innovations that allow parents or teachers to track their students’ progress–as well as some new virtual pets and computer games that help kids get moving and stay healthy!

Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is at it again, scaring everybody half to death. And this year, they’ve thought of some new ways to do it!
This is the fourth season for the popular L.A. attraction, which Southern California horror fans have already come to consider a Halloween tradition. Los Angeles Haunted Hayride is unique in its 360-degree approach to horror, its interactive nature and the fact that it’s a “green” scare attraction. They also have an ongoing story–which, this year, is called “The Congregation.” Then, there’s the consideration that the Griffith Park Old Zoo area, in which the hayride takes place, just possibly could be…well, actually haunted.
Melissa Carbone is the president of marketing company Ten Thirty One Productions, as well as the creator and Executive Producer of Los Angeles Haunted Hayride. She explained how she came to create her unique Halloween attraction…
Los Angeles Haunted Hayride has been ongoing for weekends in October. Rides start at 7:30 on Halloween night, but get there early.

Parenting is tough. Adoptive parenting is tougher. And adoptive parenting for a gay couple carries its own built-in challenges…and joys.

- A Different Kind of L.A. Fantasy World September 28, 2012
Artist and author Dominick Domingo has ventured into a new genre with his first young-adult novel! His latest work is the urban fantasy, The Nameless Prince.
As the story begins, protagonist Seth Bauman, age ten, is surviving a gritty childhood in L.A.’s Silverlake District. Seth’s mother disappeared shortly after he was born; he lives with his drug-dealing Uncle Troy, who doesn’t seem to like him; and Seth gets into a fight with the school bully.
Then, one day, Seth discovers the hidden magical realm of Interia—a world hidden on an island under the Glendale Avenue Bridge…
In a style reminiscent of Madeleine L’Engle, Dominick creates a world in which his protagonist’s wits are all that will save the world of Interia, his friend Elena–and his own life.
Dominick recently talked about creating his urban fantasy novel, his future plans for The Nameless Prince…and his upcoming appearances in Southern California. He’s scheduled for a reading and book signing at Vromans Bookstore, in Pasadena, at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October third. And he’ll be at Pasadena City College, in the Authors’ Lounge, on Sunday, October 14th, starting at noon, for San Gabriel Valley Pride Festival 2012!

Pasadena City College’s Seeds of Change Sustainability Club had a major shock just before fall semester.
In 2010, PCC Seeds of Change first implemented their on-campus organic vegetable garden. For the next two years, they worked diligently: composting, constructing beds and trellises, and meeting every Friday to tend their crops. They had thriving organic produce, including corn, tomatoes and onions–and harvest time was near.
Then suddenly, in mid-August, everything was gone.
PCC Seeds of Change President Jason Carman recently talked about what happened–and how you can help.

Who knew that camels could crawl?
That’s just one of the facts the audience learned recently, at Gil Riegler’s camel-milking demonstration at the Orange County Fair.
