Right now in Pasadena, the floats in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade are the homestretch. The Rose Parade is a long-established national tradition, of course, watched every year by hundreds of thousands across the country. Los Angeles Times columnist Patt Morrison covered the event many times and wrote today: Its huge cultural shadow has been as much about what you didn't see on display as what you did.
If you live in or around Pasadena and listen to KPCC, we want to hear from you. What does the Rose Parade mean to you? Our phone number, 800-989-8255. Email us: email@example.com. And you can join the conversation on our website. Go to npr.org, click on TALK OF THE NATION.
Patt Morrison also a special correspondent for member station KPCC in that tournament's hometown, joins us now from her home in Los Angeles. Happy New Year.
PATT MORRISON, BYLINE: Happy New Year, Neal.
CONAN: And I understand, you could see the parade from your house?
MORRISON: I can't see the parade, but I can see the blimp. And, of course, we have snow-covered mountains and palm trees. It's a perfect California day.
CONAN: Well, let's dive a little bit into the history. Of course, we associate the parade with the football game. The parade considerably precedes the football game in history.
MORRISON: There were camel races before there was a football game, but there was a parade.
CONAN: And how did they get started?
MORRISON: It got started in 1890 because the city fathers in Pasadena wanted to show New York, the rest of the world insofar as it could then that this was a place where roses were still blooming in the middle of winter, to show off the beauties of Southern California.
CONAN: And it's a grand spectacle. Of course, I gather, it must have started out rather smaller.
MORRISON: It did, people in their carriages and little boys with their wagons all dolled up with flowers. But once they started televising in the 1950s, in particular, it became an international event. And the focus wasn't just on the escapism, on the family friendly theme, but who was in the parade and who wasn't.
CONAN: Well, it's interesting, you go back to 1950 and that, of course, was a year - well, 1952, year of political transition as Democrats finally were leaving the White House after a good long time.
MORRISON: This was before the election, January before the election of '52. And one of the floats showed the Republican donkey - or Republican elephant entering the White House and a Democratic donkey leaving it. So there'd been a lot of political themes. A lot of the grand marshals had been Republican politicians. California used to be a Republican state, but it has been traditional and conservative for many years.
CONAN: And in the - a reflection, too, of the nation's racial tensions in the '50s and '60s.
MORRISON: People were missing from this. You didn't see a lot of black faces. And the queen and her court, perhaps, the most visible part, the rose queen and her princesses. You saw no minority faces. And in the 1960s, the NAACP here was so put out about it, it threatened to field 10,000 protesters to the Rose Parade.
CONAN: There were also political actions on the other side. The NRA used to sponsor a float.
MORRISON: The NRA had floats in the parade during the 1960s, hard as it is to believe now. But it was a very different creature. I think it's finally found a kind of international floating, too, when we have Jane Goodall as the grand marshal today. Imagine a woman and a foreigner and a U.N. messenger of peace.
CONAN: Many of the other women who had been grand marshals in the past had been Shirley Temple.
MORRISON: Shirley Temple had three goes at it, both as a child and an adult. A few years, Sandra Day O'Connor was the grand marshal for the Rose Parade.
CONAN: Why can't we get John Wayne back?
MORRISON: John Wayne was a great favorite. But culturally, the parade tended again to the more traditional kind of lagging behind. When the world was listening to the Beatles, they had Lawrence Welk as the grand marshal.
CONAN: And so there has been a sense that the parade marched, what, 10 years behind the times.
MORRISON: Well, the Mark Twain joke about wanting to be in Cincinnati when the world ended because things happen there 10 years later. But Pasadena has come to terms with the idea that this isn't just Pasadena's parade. It's putting on California's face to the world, and that face really needs to resemble Southern California.
CONAN: And so in one way - you've covered this many times, the preparations, stitching together the roses for the floats, all of that. How has it changed?
MORRISON: It's changed because you have a sense in the leadership and in Pasadena itself that it cannot be a clique. It can't be, as one of the vice mayors of Pasadena said, a bunch of old white men. You need to integrate it. You need more women in the hierarchy in organizing the parade. And you need to see more minority faces in the parade, in the court, on some of the floats as we see today, as I'm watching it on television.
CONAN: We want to hear from those of you who grew up or now live in, or around, Pasadena. What does the parade mean to you - 800-989-8255; email us: firstname.lastname@example.com. And we're going to get a call from - well, I guess this is northwest Pasadena; Mayville, Wisconsin. Ken is on the line.
MORRISON: Go Badgers.
KEN: How are you doing?
CONAN: Go ahead, please.
KEN: I grew up in Northridge. And it was always a tradition, you know, once we were, you know, in our young teens, we would actually go and work on the floats. And it was just amazing to see, you know, how all the petals and things were put on, and what different vegetation you were using for different effects. And you know, it's always been a tradition in our household to get up and watch the parade. And, you know, in California, in L.A., it was on 24/7. You know, KTLA used to show it the entire day. So if you didn't get up early enough, you could always watch it. Now that I'm out here in Wisconsin, I kind of feel left out. I miss out on the parade and, you know, it's hard to find the reruns on it. And it's just not the same, you know, when you're not watching it live or watching it, you know, that day.
CONAN: We should note - isn't Wisconsin in the big game today?
KEN: Yeah. I believe so. (LAUGHTER)
CONAN: Wisconsin against Stanford, I think, in the...
KEN: Yep.
CONAN: ...Rose Bowl there, in Pasadena. Well, thanks, Ken, very much.
KEN: Thank you.
CONAN: And how big a deal was this for the Los Angeles Times, Patt Morrison?
MORRISON: Oh, the Los Angeles Times used to publish special editions, page after page - and, of course, color when that was possible - of the floats. The winning floats, at one point there seemed to be more prizes for floats than there were floats. Everyone seemed to be a winner. But the L.A. Times was very much involved in the kind of boosterism that the Rose Parade was originally about. And Ken was right in his call. You can't consider yourself an Angelino until you've been out to the Rose Parade at least once.
CONAN: And there's, I guess, some 800,000 or so that come out to see it in person.
MORRISON: Even that was a matter of controversy. The parade used to claim a million people. It sounded so handy. Until someone at Caltech went out and did the math on the sidewalks and said, you can't sit a million people out here.
CONAN: Of course it was Caltech who did it.
MORRISON: Of course it was Caltech.
CONAN: Let's get another caller on the line. This is Andrea. Andrea with us from Coventry, Connecticut. What's your connection to the Rose Parade?
ANDREA: Well, I'm standing here looking at my window at a foot of snow in eastern Connecticut. And roses sound really good right about now.
CONAN: I guess that's the point.
ANDREA: But I was calling to see if - in deference to the political connections that you mentioned earlier about Republican elephants and Democratic donkeys, if there is a float with a fiscal cliff this year.
MORRISON: No, I think you might see that in the parody of the Rose Parade called the Doo Dah Parade...
ANDREA: Oh, OK.
MORRISON: ...which happens later in the year. But since those years of the '50s and '60s, they've tried to depoliticize the elements in the parade. So you'll see sort of wholesome family themes. You'll see amusement park themes. You'll see - of course we have a float from an animal rescue group and Jane Goodall herself is riding with the dogs.
ANDREA: Which I have to say heartens me greatly. The animal rescue float is very dear to my heart. I have three English setter crosses here who are all rescues, and that one caught my heart.
MORRISON: It's been very popular. And Uggie the dog is the star of that float.
ANDREA: Well, I have Daniel and Thomas and Jenny, so...
ANDREA: We don't have an Uggie.
CONAN: Thanks, Andrea.
ANDREA: Thank you.
CONAN: Just to note, whether you take this as political or not is, I guess, up to your point of view. The Defense Department, for the first time, put a float in the Tournament of Roses Parade, one of the most watched parades in the country, to commemorate veterans from a conflict that still casts a shadow over the world. A $247,000 flower-covered float is a replica of the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
MORRISON: Consistently, over the years, Neal, they've had military heroes, generals, Korean War veterans as grand marshals of the parade. And there's always been an effort to honor the military. And the Iraq veteran and the "Dancing with the Stars" star, I think his name was J.R. Martinez, was the grand marshal last year. And he was immensely popular and well received. But here again, a Latino grand marshal, which you wouldn't have seen 50 years ago.
CONAN: Let's see if we go next to Marcello. Marcello with us from Salt Lake City.
MARCELLO: Hey. Hi. I actually live in Los Angeles. I'm driving back today, but I remember growing up, my dad and my mom were separated, but every year my dad would come and pick me up really early in the morning and we'd go to the parade route, and he'd actually bring a ladder so that I could go all the way to the top so I could see over everyone's head.
And it was great because, you know, there was a time when I didn't really like going to the parade, where I was just kind of over it, but I kind of seem to circle back around to it and be, like, really all about it because it's something that represents Pasadena and, like, the city of Los Angeles because everyone goes there. Everyone, you know, they're throwing silly string, they're doing this and that to the cars on the parade route. But for the most part, it's just like a great time had by all.
CONAN: How long did the parade seem to take as you were there as, what, an 8-year-old or 10-year-old boy?
MARCELLO: Honestly, it felt like six or seven hours, like - I remember this one time, I think Will Smith was on the parade route, and my dad gave me a camera. But I just remember seeing that float go by but it felt like it took like, like, you know, it took maybe about a minute to go by, but it felt so long because I was just like kind of excited and there was something like I've seen him on television before, and now I'm seeing him in real life. So it's something pretty exciting, and I think that's what made it feel like it took forever.
CONAN: Marcello, thanks very much. Drive carefully, please.
MARCELLO: Thank you.
CONAN: All right. Happy New Year to you.
MORRISON: Marcello is right. People come by the morning before, the day before, to camp out along the parade route, and they make it a real event. So even before the parade starts, there's a party atmosphere in Pasadena.
CONAN: We're talking with Patt Morrison, the columnist to the Los Angeles Times, a special correspondent for member station KPCC in Pasadena, where of course the Tournament of Roses Parade is underway. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. And let's get Nancy on the line. Nancy is on the line with us from Henderson in Nevada.
NANCY: Hi there.
CONAN: Hi.
NANCY: OK. So I grew up in Sierra Madre, which is north of Pasadena. And you know, being a rose princess is every girl's dream. And I was actually - I tried out for the Pasadena rose, you know, the court there, and that's very competitive and very difficult. But in my own home town of Sierra Madre, I got elected to be one of the rose princesses...
CONAN: Wow.
NANCY: ...and ride on a float.
CONAN: And ride on a float.
NANCY: Yeah.
CONAN: And is that great fun?
NANCY: Oh, my God. It's amazing. Well, first of all, the float from Sierra Madre is completely volunteers. So the whole feeling of the Rose Parade is, you know, it's home - it's all home done in Sierra Madre. So that the whole town gets involved with, you know, creating and flowering the float. So you feel like you're really part of, you know, the whole town when you're going down the boulevard. And it was very exciting, of course.
CONAN: Was your parade also on January 1?
NANCY: I think so. It was 1979.
NANCY: I can't remember.
CONAN: And what was the competition like if you wanted to be a rose princess for the Pasadena parade?
NANCY: Well, I tell you, it was kind of interesting. They wanted to know about your personality. They wanted to know the high school you went to, what sort of community activities did you, you know, involve yourself with. And they're like, OK, so, you know, who's the hero of yours, an American hero? I thought that was the most interesting question.
CONAN: Who did you say?
NANCY: I said Harriet Tubman.
MORRISON: Excellent.
NANCY: That's what I thought. So they picked me.
CONAN: Congratulations.
NANCY: Thank you. I love your show. It's been really fun to hear the stories.
CONAN: Oh, thanks very much, Nancy.
MORRISON: Neal, there was a time when every female student at Pasadena City College was required to show up for rose queen tryouts as part of their gym class.
CONAN: As part of the gym class?
MORRISON: Yes.
CONAN: You must have - I was just imagining the annual editorial meeting went about December 1 when you sat around and said, oh my God, what are we going to do this year?
MORRISON: What can be different this year? 1890 until now, so many Rose Parades to write about. But every year a different iteration. As you can hear from your listeners too, everybody brings a different perception to it and takes away something very special.
CONAN: And every year, of course, has a different theme. I think the theme this year is "Oh, the Places You'll Go," the old Dr. Seuss line.
MORRISON: And the themes are all very family friendly and children friendly particularly, because as you heard Marcello, your earlier caller, say, it seems when you're a little kid that these floats are even bigger than they actually are. The parade goes on forever. Everything is magnified. And so it's as much fun watching the people watching the parade as watching the parade itself.
CONAN: Let's go next to Carol. Carol is on the line with us from San Francisco.
CAROL: Hi. Yeah. When I was growing up down in L.A., I actually got to glue flowers onto the floats with my church, my - the church that my parents went to, and then with another church at one time. I was, I don't know, probably about 12, 11 or 12. It was a big deal. We'd go into this big, huge, you know, warehouse where all of these floats were and all the flowers. And, oh, the glue fumes. I don't know...
CAROL: I don't know what, you know, back in the early '70s, if they even thought about that. It was like - I probably lost some brain cells. But that was a really - gluing those flowers on the float, you know, having a little section of the float that you got to do, and then seeing it go down the street and seeing it on TV, that was the first time I ever really felt that I - something I could do could matter as a child.
CONAN: That's a great accomplishment, a feeling of accomplish. But I wonder, by the time you were done, was the overall aroma from the float glue or rose?
CAROL: I think, you know, it was kind of one of those things where you didn't smell it anymore like working in a candy store. You know, when you first walked in there, all you smelled was, you know, because it was a long process. I mean, it was - I don't remember how many days or weeks we worked on these floats. I think it was days. You know, when you first walked in there, all you smelled was the glue. But then the flowers kind of - you would smell the flowers. But by the end, honestly, I don't remember. I don't think I smelled anything anymore.
CONAN: Well, Carol, thanks very much for the call. I appreciate it.
CAROL: Thank you for taking my call. Bye.
CONAN: Patt Morrison, what happens to the flowers after the parade's over?
MORRISON: The floats go on display in a park in Pasadena. So for a couple of days, people can go look at them. And you can get as sense, when they're stationary, of the scale. And as Carol was saying, people glue individual seeds, sunflower seeds, any vegetation is fair game for these floats. All that has to be affixed to the float. And one of the barns she talks about, one of the warehouses is down the street from KPCC. So before the parade in the weeks before, you can see the floats doing little practice runs when they go up and down the street and to be able to say I'm sorry I'm late for work, I was blocked by a Rose Parade float.
CONAN: Catherine(ph) emailed: The parade means being a child in 1950, climbing up the wooden ladder my father loaded into the car high enough to see above the heads of the crowd, snorting horses, high school bands, and I think Roy Rogers - all great excitement. Only when I was 17 working as a temporary Christmas clerk at (unintelligible) along with one of the Rose Parade princess - Rose Parade princesses - did I realize how much artifice is required to hold up the community belief in pure fantasy.
MORRISON: Well put.
CONAN: Patt Morrison, thanks very much for your time today.
MORRISON: Always a pleasure, Neal. Happy New Year.
CONAN: Happy New Year to you. Patt Morrison, the columnist from Los Angeles Times and special correspondent for our member station in Pasadena, KPCC. You're listening to TALK OF THE NATION from NPR News. Tomorrow, it's the Political Junkie. Ken Rudin will be here. I'm Neal Conan, NPR News in Washington. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The following article by John Carucci appeared in The Associated Press in October 2013...
There's an eerie truth to a song on Sting's new album, "The Last Ship."
"Dead Man's Boots" tells the story of a father passing a job to his son that the boy simply doesn't want. In a way, that story parallels the musician's life.
Born in the English shipbuilding town of Wallsend, Sting clearly wanted no part of the industry, instead attending university to become a teacher. But that wasn't enough, so two years later he made an even bolder move: to pursue a career in music.
"There were no clues in my environment that you leave that environment and fare well and be successful. My parents didn't really understand what my dreams were, they just thought I was crazy, because I had just given up a job with a pension and the security, in their eyes," he said.
Sitting in a sweater with trademark T-shirt and leather pants, he holds a guitar as he revisits some of those moments.
"My dad really didn't understand till the end of his days what the hell I was doing. He though that I should have had a proper job. Maybe he was right," Sting joked. "I wanted to take a risk and be a star. I don't know where I got the confidence from. I just got lucky."
After a successful run with his seminal band, The Police, and the prolific solo career that followed, Sting's first new recording in nearly a decade may be his most ambitious project. The 62-year-old musician is turning to a medium that some of his musical counterparts have found treacherous: musical theater.
"I want to surprise an audience; I want to surprise the listener. I want to surprise myself. To me the essence of music is surprise, every eight bars you need a surprise, otherwise people fall asleep," he said.
"The Last Ship" will serve as the backbone of a musical by the same name. It's tricky territory even for the biggest music stars. Elton John was humbled by the failed "Lestat" before finding success with "Billy Elliot" and "The Lion King." U2's Bono and Edge finally got on track with "Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark," after numerous postponed openings. And Cyndi Lauper won the Tony this year with "Kinky Boots."
But then there's "Taboo" by Culture Club frontman Boy George, and "The Capeman" by Paul Simon, regarded as some of Broadway's biggest flops.
"I didn't go into the thing completely naïve. I worked in musical theater myself," he says, citing his role in "Threepenny Opera" and his first paying job, playing bass for the 1970s revival of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."
Before coming to Broadway, "The Last Ship" will play an out-of-town engagement in Chicago next June. That will give Sting some time to refine it. Not every song on the album will make it in the show, and some new ones will be added. That's fine by Sting, especially since he's learned that not every great song fits well in musical theater.
"A good song can last for three minutes and you're just expressing one emotion. You can't have that in the theater. The narrative needs to be advanced as the song is being sung," Sting admits.
Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning lyricist Brian Yorkey ("Next to Normal) is working with Sting, and Tony-winner Joe Mantello ("Wicked," ''Angels in America") will direct. Sting says his collaborators have been brutal - and he appreciates it: "If they said everything is great, Sting, I wouldn't feel good."
Tony-winning producer Jeffrey Seller is on board, and describes his duties as "part nurturer and part critic."
"One of my jobs is to express where in the show we need those, and what songs that he's written that may not be necessary to tell this story," Seller said.
Seller, who produced "In the Heights," ''Avenue Q" and "Rent," said when they first met, Sting had not recorded any music for the project but had an idea about an abandoned shipyard where workers were building their own ship.
"When he told me about that story, I immediately fell in love with this odyssey," he said. "I loved it as much as when Jonathon Larson told me I want to do 'La Boheme' in the East Village where instead of suffering from tuberculosis, Mimi suffers from AIDS."
As an album, "The Last Ship" has a theatrical quality, with multiple recurring characters inspired by Sting's childhood experiences. While performing the album at a benefit earlier this month, he sang these parts in voices different than we're used to hearing from the 16-time Grammy-winning artist.
"I used the dialect that I was raised in," Sting said of the accent that has shades of Scottish and Norwegian. "I only ever use it now when I threaten people or when I get really angry. My kids would always know I was serious when I start speaking in the weird voice. They're like, 'Uh-oh, he's speaking in that weird voice, he must mean it.'"
The musician claims he's never tried to force any of his six children into the family business, yet each of them has found the arts in some way.
"My oldest is 36, he's a dad, which makes me a grandfather. They're all out in the world. We have one left, Giacomo is a senior in high school, and he'd be gone next year. We're kind of in a - we got dogs, me and Trude (wife, Trudie Styler), we've got a few dogs," he said of the emptying nest.
"My kids are very creative. I haven't encouraged them to get into show business at all. I haven't discouraged it, but I certainly haven't helped them or said that is what you should do. My job was to keep them in college and for them to get degrees, which they all did," he says like a proud father.
He added: "They're good people. They're not spoiled. They're polite, They're intelligent. They're the best thing I ever did."

Six Steps to Better Data Backup and Quicker Recovery
Think Quicker Recovery Time, Not Quicker Backup
While incremental backups are much faster than executing a full-backup, they also prolong recovery time. In the event of data loss, a full restore will require loading the most recent full backup and then each incremental backup tape. Having too many incremental backup tapes not only adds time to this restoration process, but it also increases the probability of not recovering all of your data. A tape could be lost, unintentionally skipped over, or contain corrupted data. Be sure to focus on optimizing the restore time to ensure faster data recovery. A quicker recovery time should be the main objective, not the need for a quicker backup process.
Maintain Sufficient Backup History
Within the blink of an eye, current data files can become corrupted and inaccessible. This will necessitate the loading of an earlier data backup that is clean of corruption. Many smaller companies make the mistake of failing to keep a sufficient backup history.
Be Sure to Backup Essential Data AND Applications
Some businesses don't feel the need to backup all data, but be sure essential databases, documents and records are backed up frequently. Don't overlook applications that are critical to day-to-day business operations either. Many companies fail to backup applications, only to realize when it's too late that they don't have access to the original installation disks when they're trying to recover from data loss or an outage.
Have Off-Site or Online Backup
Some businesses backup data simply by moving essential files to tapes or external hard drives that are then stored somewhere onsite. But if they're kept onsite, what happens if a fire, flood or other natural disaster takes out not just your server but your backup tapes and drives? Onsite backups can also be susceptible to theft. Having secure off-site, or even online backup, is simply the smart thing to do to ensure quick recovery when trouble comes to town.
Fix Broken Access Controls on Your File Server
Many businesses have folders with confidential data residing on a file server with overly permissive access controls. Why take the risk of having a disgruntled – even former – employee access and misuse this data when access can be limited to only those in the company who need it?
Be Sure to Test Restores
It happens time and time again. Business owners think they have a data backup plan in place. Tapes are changed diligently each day and everything appears to be backed up and good to go. However, it turns out the backups haven't been working for months, sometimes even years, right at the very moment they're needed. Either the backups had become corrupt and useless or large segments of data were not being backed up. This happens often. Don't let it happen to you.

Q: Why no detailed description?
A: Time. I want to get as many identified pictures up as soon as possible. I am using the categories and tags as keywords that show up at the bottom of each page. This will make searching by keywords such as pink, skirt, boots, plaid etc. productive even when I don't have time to write a full description. If there is a description on barbie.mattel.com or service.mattel.com I will include that.

Why Are People Moving Today In Connecticut
Why Are People Moving Today In Connecticut
Buying a home is a major life decision. That's true whether you're purchasing for the first time or selling your house to fuel a move. And if you're planning to buy a home, you might be hearing about today's shifting market and wondering what it means for you.
While mortgage rates are higher than they were at the start of the year and home prices are rising, you shouldn't put your plans on hold based solely on market factors. Instead, it's necessary to consider why you want to move and how important those reasons are to you. Here are two of the biggest personal motivators driving people to buy homes today.
A Need for More Space
Moving.com looked at migration patterns to determine why people moved to specific areas. One trend that emerged was the need for additional space, both indoors and outdoors.
Outgrowing your home isn't new. If you're craving a large yard, more entertaining room, or just need more storage areas or bedrooms overall, having the physical space you need for your desired lifestyle may be reason enough to make a change.
A Desire To Be Closer to Loved Ones
Moving and storage company United Van Lines surveys customers each year to get a better sense of why people move. The latest survey finds nearly 32% of people moved to be closer to loved ones.
Another moving and storage company, Pods, also highlights this as a top motivator for why people move. They note that an increase in flexible work options has helped many homeowners make a move closer to the people they care about most:
". . . a shifting of priorities has also affected why people are moving. Many companies have moved to permanent remote working policies, giving employees the option to move freely around the country, and people are taking advantage of the perk."
If you can move to another location because of remote work, retirement, or for any other reason, you could leverage that flexibility to be closer to the most important people in your life. Being nearby for caregiving and being able to attend get-togethers and life milestones could be exactly what you're looking for.
What Does That Mean for You?
If you're thinking about moving, one of these reasons might be a top motivator for you. And while what's happening with mortgage rates and home prices in the housing market today will likely play a role in your decision, it's equally important to make sure your home meets your needs. Like Charlie Bilello, Founder and CEO of Compound Capital Advisors, says:
"Your home is your castle and should confer benefits beyond just the numbers."
Bottom Line
There are many reasons why people decide to move. No matter what the reason may be, if your needs have changed, let's connect to discuss your options in today's housing market.

2021 Design Trends to Help Your Home Sell
Home design has become the trend to watch as life at home became so in-focus last year. Each year new design trends find their way into magazines, TV shows, home decor stores, and lastly, homes, and 2021 is certainly no different.
From multi-functional workspaces to design that has the simple charms of old school nostalgia or investment in durable, high-quality home appliances versus low-cost alternatives, 2021 is the year that is presenting all sorts of home design changes.
The Colors of 2021
Each year PANTONE releases a color of the year, and home decor enthusiasts look forward to the announcement each year.
This year PANTONE described their color selections as "a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting."
PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating
These two very different colors symbolize the harmony of partnership. "Illuminating" with its hopeful, optimistic hue and "Ultimate Gray" with the reassuring resilience of natural elements.

In the theme of using colors that ground us, Earthy Tones are said to make a huge appearance this year.
If you are looking for that perfect new interior and exterior project, Sherwin-Williams named their color of the year 2021, Urbane Bronze, as the comfort color you've been looking for. Relaxation and serenity are sure to be felt in rooms showcasing this shade.

If you prefer a bit more color, warm things up with a richer hue, such as wine reds, golden yellows, and sage greens. These colors can easily be incorporated into your home through accent accessories like bedding and decor.
Multi-Functional Work Spaces
Following last year's lockdown, life at home became a great deal more complicated. If you were one of those households that needed to use your space for several functions at one time, this section is for you.
Taking pointers from the minimalist and the recent popularity of tiny homes using furnishings that serve a piece with multiple functions are worth noting.
A few ideas include storage components that hide office or work supplies, convertible wall tables, and extendable console tables.
No longer are some homeowners looking for spaces that only serve a single purpose during specific holidays or special events. If your home has both a living and a family room, consider converting one of these rooms into a multipurpose room featuring an office corner, workout spot, or cozy, quiet area.
What's more comforting than a trip to grandma's house?
This new style trend is said to be a huge focal point for home decorators this next year. The mix of modern flair and the comforts of traditional nostalgia encompass the trend of "grandmillennial." This is certainly a trend to watch as it grasps at the feeling homeowners are so desperately searching for in 2021.
Vintage touches and old school patterns are making a comeback alongside their bold color opposites. At first glance, this may sound off the wall, but at a second glance, these two opposite ideas have a way of complimenting spaces even for the pickiest of home designers.
Decor detailing can play a huge role in transforming your home this way. Think vintage-inspired lampshades, accent pillows, antique paintings, and bathroom/bedroom wallpaper.

Wicker and Rattan Furniture
As the boho trend has continued to increase in recent years, wickers and rattan are enjoying a revival. But if you're thinking of Golden Girls-style wicker and rattan patio furniture, think again.
Rattan is made from woven palm stems, while wicker pieces are usually made of woven willow twigs. Both styles are lightweight and have the versatility to work indoors and outdoors. These natural materials are a perfect way to add warmth and lightness to any room in your home, and you can generally purchase them for a reasonable price. You can also find both vintage and modern pieces depending on the style you're going for.
A super-easy way to add wicker into your space is through storage. Baskets add a natural element and can also serve as decor, a hamper, and more. If you feel bold, pair wicker bedroom furniture with modern touches and accessories to avoid it looking dated. Instead of using bulky coffee tables, rattan tables can add flexibility and the illusion of space to a narrow or smaller room.
Shiplap Shipwrecked?
If you're a "farmhouse chic" style lover, then you may not be happy about this next design trend prediction. The iconic design feature of "Fixer Upper" personalities Chip and Joanna Gaines has been shiplap for several years now, but it seems like shiplap may end up shipwrecked in 2021.
Interior designer Rachel Street, host of DIY Network's "Philly Revival," revealed in an interview that she believes shiplap is one of the fastest fading design trends. Once used as a protective material for boats, barns, and sheds, shiplap siding became a trendy way to decorate interior walls in the 2010s.
Now that we've entered a new decade, it's wallpaper's time to shine if you really want to add more texture to a room. The latest wallpaper trends are all about panoramic murals, 3D surfaces, contemporary geometrics, and natural-inspired materials like grasscloth, cork, straw, and wicker.
The good news is most design experts agree that an interior full of shiplap is only considered "out of sync with current design trends" rather than completely outdated. So if you still love decorating with shiplap, then, by all means, continue letting your farmhouse chic dreams set sail!
High-End Appliances for Kitchen
The kitchen is an important source of food, comfort, family, and togetherness. So after spending all that time at home in 2020, more people are starting to dump their budgets into high-end appliances instead of opting for cheaper alternatives.
The latest appliance trends of 2021 will make you feel like you're living in The Jetsons with all of the latest technology available. One of the fastest-growing trends is the rise of steam ovens because it is a healthy cooking method and can actually reheat food more effectively than a microwave.
Say goodbye to old oven timers or long preheat wait times with a Bluetooth enabled stove. Just sync it up to your phone to control timers, lights, and more for multiple connected appliances in your home. Kick back, relax and control appliance settings all from the comfort of your living room.
As unnecessary as it may sound, once you have a smart refrigerator, you'll never look back. One of the coolest features is being able to see what's in your fridge on your smartphone so that you never forget anything at the grocery store ever again. You can also look at a calendar, leave notes, look up recipes, and set the lighting and temperature of your fridge. Believe it or not, you can also watch TV and play music from your favorite playlists. Smart refrigerators can do it all these days and even look great while doing it. These new smart appliances select sleek finishes, including icy white, stainless steel, black, bronze and copper.

Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome (DES or dry eye) is a chronic lack of sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye. Its consequences range from minor irritation to the inability to wear contact lenses and an increased risk of corneal inflammation and eye infections.
We offer the latest in dry eye treatment including the Lipiflow and Tear Care Technology.
Signs and Symptoms of Dry Eye
Persistent dryness, scratchiness and a burning sensation on your eyes are common symptoms of dry eye syndrome. These symptoms alone may be enough for your eye doctor to diagnose dry eye syndrome. Sometimes, he or she may want to measure the amount of tears in your eyes. A thin strip of filter paper placed at the edge of the eye, called a Schirmer test, is one way of measuring this.
Some people with dry eyes also experience a "foreign body sensation" – the feeling that something is in the eye. And it may seem odd, but sometimes dry eye syndrome can cause watery eyes, because the excessive dryness works to overstimulate production of the watery component of your eye's tears.
What Causes Dry Eyes?
In dry eye syndrome, the tear glands that moisturize the eye don't produce enough tears, or the tears have a chemical composition that causes them to evaporate too quickly.
Dry eye syndrome has several causes. It occurs:
- As a part of the natural aging process, especially among women over age 40.
- As a side effect of many medications, such as antihistamines, antidepressants, certain blood pressure medicines, Parkinson's medications and birth control pills.
- Because you live in a dry, dusty or windy climate with low humidity.
If your home or office has air conditioning or a dry heating system, that too can dry out your eyes. Another cause is insufficient blinking, such as when you're staring at a computer screen all day.
Dry eyes are also associated with certain systemic diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, rosacea or Sjogren's Syndrome (a triad of dry eyes, dry mouth, and rheumatoid arthritis or lupus).
Long-term contact lens wear, incomplete closure of the eyelids, eyelid disease and a deficiency of the tear-producing glands are other causes.
Dry eye syndrome is more common in women, possibly due to hormone fluctuations. Recent research suggests that smoking, too, can increase your risk of dry eye syndrome. Dry eye has also been associated with incomplete lid closure following blepharoplasty – a popular cosmetic surgery to eliminate droopy eyelids.
Treatment for Dry Eye
Dry eye syndrome is an ongoing condition that treatments may be unable to cure. But the symptoms of dry eye – including dryness, scratchiness and burning – can usually be successfully managed.
Your eyecare practitioner may recommend artificial tears, which are lubricating eye drops that may alleviate the dry, scratchy feeling and foreign body sensation of dry eye. Prescription eye drops for dry eye go one step further: they help increase your tear production. In some cases, your doctor may also prescribe a steroid for more immediate short-term relief.
Another option for dry eye treatment involves a tiny insert filled with a lubricating ingredient. The insert is placed just inside the lower eyelid, where it continuously releases lubrication throughout the day.
If you wear contact lenses, be aware that many artificial tears cannot be used during contact lens wear. You may need to remove your lenses before using the drops. Wait 15 minutes or longer (check the label) before reinserting them. For mild dry eye, contact lens rewetting drops may be sufficient to make your eyes feel better, but the effect is usually only temporary. Switching to another lens brand could also help.
Check the label, but better yet, check with your doctor before buying any over-the-counter eye drops. Your eye doctor will know which formulas are effective and long-lasting and which are not, as well as which eye drops will work with your contact lenses.
To reduce the effects of sun, wind and dust on dry eyes, wear sunglasses when outdoors. Wraparound styles offer the best protection.
Indoors, an air cleaner can filter out dust and other particles from the air, while a humidifier adds moisture to air that's too dry because of air conditioning or heating.
For more significant cases of dry eye, your eye doctor may recommend punctal plugs. These tiny devices are inserted in ducts in your lids to slow the drainage of tears away from your eyes, thereby keeping your eyes more moist.
If your dry eye is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), your doctor may recommend warm compresses and suggest an in-office procedure to clear the blocked glands and restore normal function.
Doctors sometimes also recommend special nutritional supplements containing certain essential fatty acids to decrease dry eye symptoms. Drinking more water may also offer some relief.
If medications are the cause of dry eyes, discontinuing the drug generally resolves the problem. But in this case, the benefits of the drug must be weighed against the side effect of dry eyes. Sometimes switching to a different type of medication alleviates the dry eye symptoms while keeping the needed treatment. In any case, never switch or discontinue your medications without consulting with your doctor first.
Treating any underlying eyelid disease, such as blepharitis, helps as well. This may call for antibiotic or steroid drops, plus frequent eyelid scrubs with an antibacterial shampoo.
If you are considering LASIK, be aware that dry eyes may disqualify you for the surgery, at least until your dry eye condition is successfully treated. Dry eyes increase your risk for poor healing after LASIK, so most surgeons will want to treat the dry eyes first, to ensure a good LASIK outcome. This goes for other types of vision correction surgery, as well.

"Turkish media are reporting the apprehension of two suspects in the Sept. 11 attack that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya," NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Istanbul.
He tells our Newscast Desk that:
"A Turkish television channel reports that the Tunisian men were apprehended at Ataturk Airport while trying to enter the country on fake passports. A Turkish newspaper added that the suspects were taken to an Istanbul police station for questioning. There was no immediate confirmation from the police, nor any details as to why the men are considered suspects in the attack.
"Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other diplomatic staff were killed in Benghazi. Although the violence began amid a protest against a video that mocks Islam, U.S. authorities later concluded that the Americans died as the result of a planned terrorist attack."
As we reported Thursday, an FBI team spent about 12 hours at the attack site this week. In the three weeks since the Americans were killed, however, the consulate had been only lightly secured and it's likely that much of the evidence was either taken away or disturbed.
