...Harvard University estimates that homeowners spent $2.4 billion on replacing or improving their garages in 2003--more than double the average annual spending over the previous decade. Companies that specialize in this niche, which barely existed a few years ago, say they're expanding exponentially. Garage Envy, the Pasadena, Calif., firm that transformed Cardenas' space, expects 2006 revenues to hit $2.6 million, up from $1.1 million in 2005. GarageTek in Syosset, N.Y., hit $20 million in 2005, a 30% increase over the previous year, says marketing director Barbara Butenski, and this year the company expects its revenues...
...liberal Methodist radio talk show host named Mike Papantonio, to answer the fundamentalists. But Papantonio's main point is that the tie-in between fundamentalism and political agendas violates America's fundamental church-state separation. This is self-evidently true and at a moment when a church in Pasadena is under investigation by the IRS because a liberal, election-eve sermon was preached from its pulpit, while no one looks into the doings at Devil's Lake or at the churches of the evangelical ministers who endorse them, his is a worrisome point.

...Then there's Benhaz Serapfour who gently tweaked her vision of neat, tailored dresses with sparkly gold sequins and a few puff ball skirts. The strongest show came from out-of-towners Kate and Laura Mulleavy who brought their chiffon mille-feuille frocks to New York from Pasadena.

What all these designers have in common is an airy, romantic notion of what women should wear...
...LIFE IN FRANCE JULIA CHILD She loved France. She loved French. She even loved the French. But what Julia Child, all 6 ft. 2 in. of her, loved most was the oddly captivating things the French ate, things that nobody ate where she was from, provincial Pasadena, Calif. When her husband Paul moved them both to Paris after World War II, she learned to cook snails and everything else expertly. Later, in books and on television, she fed those things to Americans, and we duly loved her for it. But this posthumous memoir, written with her grandnephew Alex Prud'homme...
...South poles that those steambath conditions are felt particularly acutely, with glaciers and ice caps crumbling to slush. Once the thaw begins, a number of mechanisms kick in to keep it going. Greenland is a vivid example. Late last year, glaciologist Eric Rignot of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., and Pannir Kanagaratnam, a research assistant professor at the University of Kansas, analyzed data from Canadian and European satellites and found that Greenland ice is not just melting but doing so more than twice as fast, with 53 cu. mi. draining away into the sea last year alone, compared...
