Finally the Reader makes you smile

I'm telling you it's a trap. And we're all doomed.
The first day I took my daughter to her new school, I questioned whether moving to Eastlake was the right move for our family. I had stopped by the Otay Ranch mall on enough weekday afternoons to know that the area has an abundance of fancy, perfumed stay-at-home moms. As a visitor, I found the idea charming — the way one might find charming the sight of backcountry women washing their clothes in the river. How lovely and provincial, one thinks, until one finds herself standing in the river with a pile of wet clothes, wishing for a washing machine.
I was raised on the sound of lawn mowers, birds, and Little League baseball. There was a time when it gave me a thrill to live among the sounds of radios and car horns and sirens, but my tolerance has since diminished. It's true that, when looking to purchase a home, had we been able to afford a four-bedroom, four-bath house on a semi-quiet street in Hillcrest or South Park, or maybe a spacious downtown high-rise, I would have been all for it. But in the end we chose square footage over location. And as much as I hated the idea of leaving city life behind, I yearned for afternoon runs along wide, quiet boulevards with landscaped medians.
And then here I was, with my house and my medians, somehow surprised that the parking lot of my daughter's new preschool was crowded with minivans and moms in full makeup, large sunglasses, and exercise clothes.
Driving back to my home office, I was near tears.
What am I doing in Eastlake? I thought. I don't Zumba.
No one drops by anymore. Football season 2012 was lonely. When we have parties, I feel the need to apologize for the drive. Recently, my husband had a work party at our place. When one of the guys arrived, he stepped into the house and said, "Man, you guys live way the fuck out in the middle of nowhere."
It's true. For anyone who doesn't know the way to Eastlake (and/or doesn't care to pay for the toll road), take 805 South past National City and Bonita, and keep driving until you're sure you've missed the exit. After that, head east on East H or Telegraph Canyon or Olympic Parkway. After another maddening five miles of intermittent large-intersection traffic lights, you will have arrived at our perfect little "has everything" planned community of storybook loveliness, complete with duck ponds and sprinkler parks.
One afternoon, I drove a ten-mile loop from the Olympic Training Center, past Otay Lakes Road, down the wide boulevards of Hunte Parkway and Proctor Valley Road, then south on Eastlake Drive, around the lake and down Eastlake Parkway, past the mall to the Border Patrol stakeout at the corner of Eastlake Parkway and Hunte Parkway. On the way, I counted 14 gardeners in orange-and-yellow vests, 4 Border Patrol vehicles, and 39 purple and/or yellow flags meant to draw the eye toward large signboards announcing homes available "from the low $300,000s."
198 total votes.
The western end of the loop consists of a series of shopping centers, all butted up against Eastlake Parkway, and all bearing names that declare their neighborhood allegiance: Eastlake Terraces, Eastlake Village Marketplace, Village Walk at Eastlake, Eastlake Village Center, Otay Ranch Town Center, and Marketplace at Windingwalk.
At the eastern end of that loop stand the developments of Eastlake Greens (2356 units); Eastlake Trails (1145); Eastlake Trails North (254); Eastlake Vistas (1326); Eastlake Hills and Eastlake Shores (a combined 1822); the Woods (344); and the Gates (64). CasaLago Eastlake, a new development of apartments and townhomes just east of Olympic Training Center, is a 427-unit community currently under construction. The Windingwalk community currently has 1965 units completed, with another 21 planned and/or under construction.
The entrance of each development is meant to be grander than the last, flanked with either sentinel clusters of palm trees, trickling fountains, and/or low stone walls bearing the name of the subdivision.
In San Diego's city center, the boundaries between neighborhoods are usually major cross-streets or freeways, but in this area, it's a little different. Joe Glover, my real estate agent, tells me the division between Otay Ranch and Eastlake "is all about the little subdivisions. It's not about the cross-streets."
And for those of us who are not developers or HOA managers, this makes for some overlap and variance in perspective. Case in point: if you look on the Barnes & Noble website and search for store locations, you'll see that the one they call their "Eastlake" store has an address at the Otay Ranch Mall.
Although there are official boundaries, Joe says, "Eastlake is almost like a generic term for all these different subdivisions."
For the managers of the area homeowners' associations (three of which tend to Eastlake proper: Eastlake 1, Eastlake 2, and Eastlake 3), the distinction is significant. Debra Vaca, the operations manager of Eastlake 3, told me that her organization alone employs 21 gardeners and 6 guys on the "mow crew," each of whom works 8 hours a day and tends to 151.24 acres, or 6,587,931 square feet. There is no overlap with these guys. They know exactly which median to manicure, which desert bush to trim back and away from the jogging paths.
For the sake of simplicity, however, when using the word "Eastlake," I'm referring to the area east of the 125, between Birch Road to the south and East H/Proctor Valley Road to the north. Although it includes the Otay Ranch Town Center mall and the Windingwalk development, both technically part of Otay Ranch, they are within the area I generally refer to as Eastlake.
We live at the very eastern edge of Eastlake's suburban landscape. At night, we can see the lights of Tijuana. Our bedroom window looks out over a wide canyon alive with sage and other desert brush, roadrunners, coyotes, bunnies, and rattlesnakes. On the other side of the canyon, across Hunte Parkway, sits Windingwalk, a development of single-family homes painted earthy yellowish tones, their roofs Spanish-red. At night, when the lights of the subdivision shine across the darkened canyon, I imagine that I'm in Oakland looking across the San Francisco Bay at the lights of an urban metropolis, rather than in one Eastlake development staring at a matching development in Otay Ranch.
Yes, living in the suburbs is different than living in Hillcrest-surprise! But it's not that "far out there." It takes longer to get to downtown from La Jolla or even Clairemont Mesa than from Eastlake. All neighborhoods have pros and cons, and the SoCal population is going to continue to rise over the coming decades, so growth and expansion are inevitable. The key is for City and County planners to work with developers to ensure success and sustainability for a hundred years, and not think in short-term ways. Thank you for taking the time to write this story! I'm sure moving to the San Diego 'burbs from Hillcrest or Brooklyn is a big change.
I am at a loss for words - and that is HARD TO DO!!!!!
Been here since I was 13.
my 'loss for words' - I believe it paints many Eastlakers to be rather shallow - and the many friends and family I have that are Eastlakers are far, far from shallow.
I have lived in the Burbs of Eastlake since its inception in 1987. I have to say, I truly love it here and have raised my family here. I still find time to go to the city and attend mass in Little Italy. What Ms. Salaam fails to realize is that Eastlake is a melting pot of culture and acceptance. My children have grown up with friends of all races and ethnicities. Not all the Moms of Eastlake wear big Sunglasses and go to Zumba! Maybe we are our own little World, but it is a great world to live in! What you have failed to mention in your blasting of the Eastlake Community is what this community has produced in its 20 plus years as a developing community, Top Ranked Schools, Little League World Series Champs, Adrian Gonzalez, a World Class Olympic Training Center, Several CIF Championship Teams, need I go on? Public records show that you purchased your current home as a bank-owned property in 2011 for $256,000! Not a bad deal for a 4 bedroom, 4 bath home in a community that has been Ranked the #1 Community in San Diego to live in since 1997 by the San Diego Union Tribune readers poll! If you are so unhappy here, I am sure that there are many people who would love to take your house off your hands for the bargain basement price in which you paid for it!
We have lived in Eastlake since 1997. Wouldn't trade locations anywhere else in SD county. We are 6 miles from the ocean, 22 minutes from Downtown SD, lots of great families and the demographics are not an issue, If you're a racist then simply leave. As a WHITE Anglo-Saxon, the community is wonderful. It's friendly, convenient & relatively crime free. It's MUCH better than dealing with the North Park or DT homeless folks that you so much adore! When are you moving back to the ghetto?
Dude. I have no clue what your saying or what is you point? It makes no sense.
I think Elizabeth Salaam should have done a little more research before moving to Eastlake! I am a 32 year old mother and have resided in Eastlake since I was 15.. I have crazy colored hair and plenty of tattoos. I have made MANY friends while living in Eastlake, none of them matching your absurd description of the typical Eastlake mom. Your article is ridiculous.. and I'm sure Eastlake wont miss you one bit. Move on out!
I am not sure what is more disappointing, someone complaining that they live in a diverse community, with a low crime rate, that is well manicured, has great schools, a large newer house at an affordable price (which will not put her in the situation most of Americans are in with inflated house prices), an abundance of conveniences, and friends who have embraced her and love the community OR that SD Reader has deemed this a newsworthy cover story. What really deserves the cover is what can be done to lower the crime rates in the areas the author loves so much and make them safer for the residents living there. I find this article insulting and feel the author and SD Reader should be embarrassed for publishing a whiney rant from someone who lives somewhere too nice. I am sure there are people reading this article in less desirable areas of the city and in much worse conditions that would give anything to be living in a community like Eastlake. Shame on all of you.
Spoken like a poet SDl1998! You have my vote for her job!
Sdl1998 - you found the words I was at a loss for!
Well stated.
Ms. Salaam, Having been raised in Chula Vista, I know the "blah" that you feel. I have also lived in a big city (Chicago to be exact) that is a smorgasbord of culture. The little pockets of "Little Italy," "Greektown," or "South Side" don't exist here. But that's exactly why you are here, is it not? Wrapped tightly within that mish mash of subculture is also the hard splits of "me versus you". The rigid edges that people have when in super-rich-with-culture places foster blatant difference, a push to run the rat race with more force so as to stand among the elite of the incredibly crowded subways. There is no divide like that here. We all kind of become that whole "melting pot" of life. You know, where you can be standing next to a prominent lawyer or doctor but you wouldn't know it because they will be in their workout clothes. Where the professionals, blue collar and such peel that hat off and become mom or dad. It's okay here, a little bland but no one whose never left would know or care because it is completely insignificant here. And THAT is the beauty of it. Unless you like wearing makeup to the gym.
I hated living in Chicago also! This is a much better place to live and I completely agree with you, there is no line in the sand (if you can see past the fake Louis Vuittons).
I grew up in chula vista , Have lived in various areas of this fine city . I tried Eastlake living a few years ago. Met very nice people but also many not very nice. Its all about choices i decided it was not for me. So i moved back to the hood. I guess i missed otay farms,santa fe meats and helping out the less Fortunate whenever possible, there are many out there. Chula Vista is a great city To live in. I just happen to enjoy living in old school chula more.
Wow, I'm not sure if i should be mad at Ms. Salaam or if i should thank her! I have lived in Eastlake since 1997. My wife and i have raised 3 children in this area. Both my wife and i grew up in the South Bay. If you value safe neighborhoods, great schools, affordable and beautiful homes, diversity, city close but quiet country living, the beach 25 minutes away, Jamul 15 minutes, great shopping, 20 minutes away from downtown, and only one homeless man in the entire area, then this is the place for you!!
Ms. Salaam, if you prefer North Park (where i lived for 2 years), or other similar areas, I'm sure you would complain of the traffic, noise, homelessness, dirtiness, diversity, high home prices for only 950 square feet, etc., etc.
Each neighborhood has its good and bad. Eastlake is no different. But it is a pretty fantastic place to live!!
Farmer is leaning against his fence when a guy in a car drives up. Guy asks the farmer for directions to the next town. He tells the farmer "I had to get out of the last town. I've been stuck there forever, I've never seen such a collection of dishonest, no good, uncaring people, in my life. What are the people in the next town like?" Farmer says "I think you'll find they're pretty much the same" and the guy drives off.
A little while later another car pulls up. Driver says to the farmer "I'm so sad I have to leave the last town. I spent many happy times there. The people were loving and open, and always greeted me with open arms. What are the people in the next town like?" Farmer says "I think you'll find they're pretty much the same"
I'm sure I have felt all of the things Ms. Salaam has said in this article, the Otay Ranch/Eastlake community has many great things going for it with affordability near the top, but the "Corporate America" Look and selections are near the bottom.
The things I miss most from previous, read older, communities are the Family owned or more eclectic choices, while I frequent Oggy's I long for a Crazy Burger and a small Brew Pub. While I occasionally shop at Trek Bicycles I really want an Adams Ave Bicycles, etc Why do I long for these things, I want to know who takes home the paycheck and the profits, I want to see my favorite places on Drive-ins, Diners and Dives, I like the interaction with the owners and workers at a true owner operated establishment.
I realize that since the start of "Eastlake" a meer 20 odd years is not much to start any real community traditions, I believe it is time to do so, live the diversity. We need to connect the dots between life, living and our unique cultural and sports opportunities.
We also need to take charge of our community by linking with the rest of Chula Vista to protect the city itself from fragmenting into east vs. west politics. We need to revive the Sweetwater Union School District by making ourselves aware of the BS going on behind closed doors. We need to protect and grow our community with our activities, our spending and our intelligence.
20 years ago cycling out a two lane Otay Lakes Road I joked with my friend Scott about who would ever want to live out here, but when my family and I returned to the SD area look where we are, decient schools, reasonable housing costs, and reasonable expectations what more for a middle-class family? BBQ
How about Bonita for us horsey folks.
I grew up in the city of Los Angeles, lived in the city of SD while attending college and grad school, and moved to Eastlake almost 12 years ago when there were still cows on the hillside. I'm an Anglo liberal with a passion for environmentalism, local food, organic gardening and craft beer. Why am I happy living in Eastlake?
First, the sense of community and diversity. While in North Park (a short hop away on the 805), I can call a few friends to meet at a local brewpub, in my neighborhood I have friends everywhere. I run into my pharmacist at the food truck gathering on Wed nights. The folks at Trader Joe's know when to expect me and greet me by name. I know my neighbors well. There is a welcoming feeling of community here. I have friends who are Mexican, Anglo, Puerto Rican, Filipino, African-American, Chilean, Japanese, Iranian, Indian, and Chinese. There's also a whole bunch of hapas of whom I couldn't tell you their ethnicity, and none of us really cares.
Second, my husband and I are raising a family. We appreciate sidewalks, bike paths, hiking trails and parks. We love the fact that our local elementary, middle school and high school are California Distinguished Schools, and are consistently ranked at the top of Chula Vista's high-performing schools. The kids can walk or ride their bikes to school. Our children are able to pursue after-school activities in the area without a long commute, which means we have more time for family dinners and game nights.
Third, because it is a young community, there are a lot of opportunities for involvement. Jill, the organic gardener mentioned in the article and someone I also know, started an interest group for organic gardeners because one didn't yet exist. I ran a school garden in the area for five years because I have a passion for it. A friend runs a tennis program for returning veterans. My husband served on a local HOA board because he was frustrated with some of the policies, and was able to get involved and help change it. Of course, you can find opportunities in the city. Here, it's just easier to forge your own path and make a difference because many opportunities haven't yet been pursued.
Lastly, although there are other reasons I could mention, to keep it short, I will say that there are environmental benefits to living on the "island" of Eastlake. She doesn't mention how being able to remain in the same area for shopping, exercise, after school classes, medical, dental, orthodontic and eye appointments limits gas usage and pollution from car exhaust. Of course, sometimes the Hillcrest farmer's market is too compelling to resist, but I'm not averse to driving distances when it's worth it. We still drive to the symphony, to Stone Brewery, to Old Town, to Balboa Park. We enjoy our city. We just return to a peaceful community at the end of the day.
Ms. Salam if you aint happy move. What a story about nothing but wining about where you live. Lady you have issues and I dont think they come from Eastlake. I have friends in that hood and they are real nice and normal. BTW if you are criticizing those women at the mall what were you doing there? Stop stereotyping people and places and just be happy you have a home some of us arent so lucky.
So what's the point of this article? I assume you live in Eastlake, but your observations are of someone suffering from severe depression and not those of the many active residents. Get yourself treated and then take a high school level writing course. Your article is meandering, pointless, and not well reseached. And what the hell is the race "problem". Ignoramus! Go back to your crappy schools, high crime, noisy, dirty city you seem to miss so much.
BTW, the schools in Eastlake are far superior to those in Kearny Mesa (Eastlake High is ranked among the top in the NATION) so yeah, driving 25 miles to keep your kid in the same school was a complete waste of money, as your loving husband pointed out.
There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with the author or even hating her writing style -- but the ad hominem attack and telling her to take a high school level writing course?
She has a master's.
I found this article to be really odd. I am an Eastlake stay-at-home mom, and I can't help but be a little offended. You thought my lifestyle was "charming," but in the end I guess I didn't meet your expectations. What!? There are all types of women in this community (and yes, some wear makeup and sunglasses as I would assume most Southern Californian women do), yet you have us all figured out?
I looked you up on Facebook to see if I know you and found this, "At a school performance with all the fancy, perfumed Mexican moms. Kinda wish I'd plucked my eyebrows." You sound really insecure, and as someone above said, that has nothing to do with Eastlake. Instead of focusing on the negative, I would suggesting keeping an open mind and try being positive. I feel badly for you because you are missing out on meeting a lot of great women.
As a point to the Eastlake lovers that so reward the schools with adoration, I too moved out here for the schools, Please pull your heads out of the sand and look into the Adminstration of the Sweetwater Union High School District. The way the indictees on the board and the superintendent are going, what we bought into with our Mello Roos and home prices will be squandered, our district which is already a laughing stock for mis-management will be a shambles. As I tried to state before get involved and participate in the governmental processes for the two school districts and the city of Chula Vista, we still pay our fair share if not more... BBQ
Off your meds again Viewer?
bbq- Thank You for educating those who may not know. To make it real clear - SUHSD has 4 of its 5 board members under indictment in 'the largest case of corruption San Diego City/county has ever seen.
Wondering why the middle/high schools out there are so crowded - well the Superintendent of SUHSD removed the boundaries last year.
Mello Roos, ah yes the Mello Roos, wonder how many are aware that their Mello funds are being borrowed by SUHSD - now they say they back - but in my world when you pay something back on 1-1 and re borrow it on 1-2 have your really paid it back?
So many issues regarding SUHSD that great impact on Eastlake continuing to be viewed as a great place to educate our future leaders. If only the SUHSD super would be willing to take some lessons from the supers at our elementary districts.
Given my chosen moniker, I suppose I should feel somewhat defensive about this article, but it doesn't really bother me.
People make all sorts of statements in the attempt to be provocative, make a name for themselves and/or express frustration.
Ms. Salaam, if you really want to get to know the people in Eastlake, get involved with the school districts. Volunteer in the schools, serve on the committees, let your voice be heard when it comes to making sure the students are getting what they need from Chula Vista Elementary and Sweetwater Union High School Districts. The more you know, the better your position will be for actually being an active member of the community.
Do this and come back to us in a year with what you have learned!
I work for the Pacific Southwest Association of REALTORS. Our members help new owners find homes in Chula Vista. Many people buy homes in East Lake for arguably the best schools in the County. See for yourself: (http://www.cvesd.org/schools/allschools/Pages/AcademicPerformance.aspx)
Other buyers want to enjoy parks and open space. People who enjoy being outdoor acknowledge that Otay Ranch Town Center offers a unique shopping experience better than any other in the County. The 125 expedites travel north making the commute friendlier then many other suburban commutes in the County. The neighborhoods are beautiful. The properties are spacious. The city is friendly. The library's are fantastic.
Chula Vista is a secret that most in the County don't know about. It's important to do the home work before buying a new home. Maybe even rent in an area before buying. Some people buy a Porsche and miss their Mercedes. This doesn't make the Porsche a bad car.
psarceo - you are correct, the Elementary Districts are exceptional. However in doing a Google search what they will read about Sweetwater would most definitely give them reason to be concerned.
You need to be careful when using school scores when moving into the area. My coworker just moved into a house right next to Veterans Elementary because of their scores, and just found out that the school, and others nearby, are overcrowded. The school district would be sending her son Eastlake Elementary (about 3 miles away.) Looking at the scores, Eastlake isn't too bad, but their API scores are approx. 50 points below Veteran's. I tried to let her know that API scores aren't everything, but when that is a huge factor for deciding on location, it's hard to get around.
I spent my teen years in north county San Diego. After moving coast to coast complements of the Navy for more than a decade, I happily settled down in Eastlake in the fall of 2004. I must admit, when I lived north of the 8, I knew very little about life south of National City's mile of cars. Of course I knew 805 was the quickest way to TJ, even back then, everyone knew that! Fast forward to my life now, complete with a beautiful wife from Northern California and three energetic kids... I have embraced Eastlake as an ideal place to live and raise a family.
I agree with you, Eastlake to me is an island, but not in a lonely, deserted way! A unique confluence of physical and man-made geography consumes us; from the Mt Miguel mountain range to the north and east, the border to the south and the 125/805 freeways to the west. Inarguably, Eastlake is somewhat confined. On the plus side, for me, everything I need is right here. Since I must battle angry freeways every day, enjoying the convenience and simplicity of neighborhood restaurants and nearby quality shopping, when I am home, is indeed comforting. Who does not like easy? On the minus side, since so much of what surrounds us is new and chain focused, the personality of our young community is affected. Eastlake lacks history and a quirky personality that many San Diego cities have. Also, I think there are too many chains and big box stores and not enough of the "diners, drive-in's and dives" spots, as one of the previous commenter's mentioned, that we can embrace as ours. To me, however, the personality of our island is evolving.
Eastlake will never be a Southpark or a Hillcrest or a La Jolla, but that's ok. It's certainly not what my wife and I desired, clearly we are happy in the suburbs. Ok, in fairness, if I could transplant my house to Encinitas or Del Mar I would do it in a minute! (It's important to be honest.)
I laughed at your line, "for now, if you don't live in Eastlake, there's not much reason to visit, unless your aunt lives here..." That's true. But, I don't see too many reasons to visit San Marcos, Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch or Tierra Santa either, do you? Just because a community is not a well known destination does not make it any less idyllic. It's equally safe and serene, and that is why we continue to live here.
After my wife and I learned about the excellent schools and I fell in love with the cool ocean breezes and endless miles of meandering running trails, we knew Eastlake was for us. I am sure many homeowners can relate to your sentiment, "...in the end we chose square footage over location." Despite the shallow feeling this statement elicits, let's face it, growing families need space! Nothing wrong with that. A quaint 1400 square foot 50's style bungalow steps away from bustling downtown activities is perfect for some, but it's not what we were searching for. We enjoy our quiet space, the safe streets and ample green parks that surround it.
(continued) I will take issue with anyone who says homes in Eastlake are cheap. Although there are many apartments and condos sprinkled in within our zip codes, per DQNews.com, for June 2013, the average price of the 40 existing homes sold in 91914 and 91915 was $481K. For the same period, Poway's 66 homes sold averaged $563K. Granted, on average homes are pricier in Poway than here, but not dramatically. Factor in the monthly HOA and Mello-Roos, and perhaps the divide is even less? Ultimately, it's not just about value, but the vibe as well. Some dig it, others don't.
"Our" Eastlake is in its twenties. The ranches of Rolling Hills, San Miguel and Otay are even younger. Most folks I meet in this age group are still maturing and developing. It seems no different for neighborhoods. Although few communities are perfect, ours is easily one of the premiere master planned communities anywhere in San Diego!
I think some of us are taking this article too seriously. I thought this article was humerous because as much as we don't want to admit it, it has some truth to it. I have lived in many parts of the world and Eastlake is the best place I've lived in. My family moved to Eastlake in 2009 and have loved it since. With all the amenities this place has to offer, its perfect for raising children. As FriarsFan2013 mentioned, Eastlake does feel like an Island, but its a pretty, peaceful Island. Ms Salaam does mention all the good qualities about Eastlake, how everything is close by, the good schools and our diverse population. She is right about some things, I do tend to complain when I have to go to Michaels or to downtown San Diego when I can't find something in here. Our Mall can use another department store as well. At the end of the day, this is our little piece of heaven, I love Eastlake.
P.S. Eastlake is not cheap.
I thought the article was witty. Yes, Eastlake is a very nice place to live for all the reasons left by the commenters. I worked there for five years and saw a great deal of ethnic diversity. It's just not for everyone and neither is North Park and Hillcrest. I love living in North Park because it's such a walkable area. Plus, it's grown over the decades as shown by the wide variety of architecture and changes in the businesses. Cities and suburbs evolve over time. The trees grow taller, new businesses appear, the area becomes more "homey".
Elizabeth, maybe really all Eastlake needs for your taste is time to mature and become a tad less planned.
2014 is an election year for three board members of SUHSD. Please cast an educated ballot - take the time to Google Sweetwater and each board members names - the time for change is now. Our middle and high school students depend on us to ensure the educational, financial and athletic decisions being made are done by persons looking to serve vs. use their board seat for personal or political gain.
Don't do Zumba or wear make up on my workouts - but yes I do like big sunglasses. I'm open to poking a bit of fun to our 'suburbia' life. I'm sure any planned community can have some 'funnies". Obviously, that this writer decided to publicly rant about where she is raising her children - well, sadly she has bigger issues. What I'm not okay with is her advocating to not visit South County and the SDReader deciding that this would be great cover story grab. I guess the SDReader doesn't have many South County advertisers. Or maybe it hoped it would generate more readers. Whatever the case, communities need commerce and homebuyers for all the amenities most communities want - awesome schools, roadways, shops, entertainment.... . So not only was this article an insult to those of use living and investing in Eastern Chula Vista - it really was a slap to all those businesses and schools residing in the South County. Lady, you just added to the stereotype and discrimination many of us have been fighting against for years. Maybe next time instead of publicly crying about it ... maybe you can get civically involved to make some sustainable practical changes.
Why Elizabeth Salaam, you forgot to mention all the free government money you used to move to Eastlake, that you referenced in the article you wrote when you got the house. In fact you were practically bragging about the so-called programs you qualified for.
I'll tell you what. Sell the house, pay back the government grants, and move if you do not like Chula Vista. It's really that simple, right?
BOOM!!! ^^^^^^Enough said right here!^^^^^^^
You actually got paid for this article?! Too long and saw your opinion from get-go. 4 pages had to scan , all same not interested in. I'm a local but you knew what you were trading for driving if you wish to. Stop BS
Ms. Salaam - if you don't like it in Eastlake - no one is making you stay! My family and I have lived in Eastlake since 2002 and absolutely love the community and the schools!
Elizabeth: I think your piece was well-written and I can completely understand why you feel conflicted about your new neighborhood.
I grew up in a planned community like this -- where every house and street looks the same, lawns are manicured and HOAs rule with an iron fist. To add insult to injury, I played soccer, too. It was the kind of living that the TV show "Weeds" made fun of. When I left for college, I also found myself running away from suburbia and drawn to grimy, chaotic cities, such as New York -- just because it was so different than what I knew.
But when I look back on how I grew up, I realize how fortunate I was. My neighborhood was extremely safe. As a tween and teenager, I never felt in danger -- nor did my parents ever have to worry -- if my friends and I walked home in the evenings or when I went for a run, alone. That planned community has one of the best public high schools in the state, and the kids that went there viewed their education as a priority. I went away to a good college and so did most of my classmates -- and the college that I chose opened doors for me to study abroad and travel.
I know for a fact that my life would have been very different had my parents not been able to afford to live in this planned community. I doubt that I would have had the same opportunities that I've enjoyed had we lived somewhere else.
I can see why you'd view suburban life as boring. The commute down South DOES suck, and I know it's a huge adjustment. But you need to remember why you moved there. You have a child. So it's not about you anymore.
I currently live downtown. But I don't have children, and there's no way in HELL I'd raise a child here. I would not want them to go to an under-funded, inner-city school, have their sleep disturbed by the sounds of police sirens every night, or risk them being accosted by homeless people and drunks. How unfair would it be to them and their development to raise them in this environment, just so that I could still FEEL "urban chic," or whatever you want to call it?
When I do have children, Eastlake is exactly the kind of community I would want to raise them in. That's why they exist and why urban planners and development companies create them – for families.
You've had your time. Your life is not over, and you're not over, just because you're living in the burbs. Embrace this new chapter in your life, and think of what you are offering your daughter. It will grow on you. If anything, be thankful that you're able to enjoy some QUIET and get a good's night sleep regularly -- I'm at the point where I'd kill to not be awoken by a siren, just once.
I HATE living in Eastlake too! I am with you 100 percent!
I live in Eastlake and I don't Zumba. IIRC there no zumba locations in North Park or South Park or Hillcrest - right? I hope not - I prefer the Lips, Chetahs, Deja Vu locations so much more than a Zumba locations just as you do!
You long for or grew up with little league - so do I! I mean the hotbed for little baseball is north county. I know the Park View fans of a few years ago or the current Eastlake little league fans are non existent - since no one out here longs for little league either. I mean when Southwestern college was full of non fans a few years ago to boo the Park View team for winning the local sandlot tournament - it was all the city folk laughing at our have not teams. I was so wishing I lived with the really good baseball areas up north that you speak of!
I hate the Moms have to dress up to go to work and drop their kids off at school first too! I would prefer to live in the city where no one bathes too! I am sure Eastlake is the only neighborhood with stay at home moms! It is amazing that some of these moms wear exercise clothes - don't they know that exercise clothes are for the men only in Hillcrest!!! I agree with you - if you don't dress like a St. Vincent de Paul resident, don't take your kids to school.
The worst part of Eastalke is the crime and homelessness rate - I mean ANY area north of National City is far more safe than Eastlake!
I agree I go to the city to avoid people in large sunglasses!
When I move out of Eastlake I am sure the few friends I have will go visit me in North County everyday. I mean if it takes an hour to go south on the 805 - it only takes 5 minutes going north. That is the best part of living in the city or the north county - NO Freeway traffic!
I too hate all those city landscapers! I mean I love the trash city areas so much better too!
Palm trees galors - yuck! Associations yuck! Thankfully no palm trees in the city! No HOA's in the high rise buildings either! I prefer when the citizens put their own stop signs to stop traffic near schools but they self police themselves.
The view of the lights or the view of the other suburb - despicable. Would rather see the views of the neighborhoods bordering Petco Park anyday!
I agree Kearny Mesa is sooo much newer, nicer, non traffic, non strip mall, so urban community I could find too! I mean you can go have lunch at several urban areas that have "no touch" zones that are so much better than zumba!
The ONLY suburban city in San Diego that DOES NOT RESEMBLE New York is Eastlake! Hilcrest and Kearny Mesa are as close to New York as actually being there!
I HATE homes like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MJYD_...
Or communities like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL8y1pZj6a8
Or schools like this: 2012 horrific football team - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0xG7... or this one in 2009 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_M-tc...
If you leave work in Downtown - Poway is the same mileage away as is Eastlake. Since the author is experienced in traffic - Will the drive to Poway be 5 minutes and the drive to Eastlake 1 hour?
I am sooo upset - I had to take my kid to school all dressed up to go to work as well. I wish I lived in the city where I can wake up at noon and decide whether to shower or not.... Oh well - the author and myself share the same feelings....
I was wondering the same thing.. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN EASTLAKE?" Go ahead and leave, make room for people who appreciate the area.
Words that come to mind: superficial, insecure, ignorant, judgemental, ignorant...
Your facebook implies you are every woman you complained about in this article.
Not only was this article biased and ignorant. It was POORLY written. Honestly, I could hardly follow what the writer was trying to say. There is no flow, it's boring, and it doesn't make sense. Why is this on the cover of the San Diego Reader? What a waste of space (as is the space she's living in). BORRRRIIINNNNGGG!!!
Dear Ms. Salaam,
I read your article and all the comments as well. A writer's viewpoint is usually offered to elicit commentary, provoke thoughtful ideas and spark intelligent discussion from readers. However, when a writer submits a piece that is loaded with racial remarks and derogatory comments, it clearly proves the writer is ill-experienced in the topic. If your sole purpose in publishing this article was to create a name for yourself, you've done exactly that - your name is not credible. Readers will not be able to take seriously a writer who loads text with complaints sans solutions, racial remarks and negative pessimism about the state of a community. Be a doer, Ms. Salaam. Invent something interesting for Eastlake. Create something meaningful for Eastlake's high-scoring school districts. Make a change. But do so positively. Your piece slams a community that you are not bound to. As my mother used to say, "If you don't like it, leave." Your slant is narrow and it is not surprising that you have not made solid friendships in Eastlake. Good people generally see transparencies in others, and if you have not built good relationships in Eastlake perhaps it's because what's clearly visible - your own inability to see past races, even the SAHM (Stay At Home Mom) race. Please be a responsible writer. The goal is not to offend, right? Isn't a writer's goal to expose their viewpoint to a larger audience via words? Words and their delivery should be chosen wisely. Your baseline viewpoint has been exposed now. As you note in your article, Eastlake is a small community. You may find it hard to build good friendships now that you have torn everyone down, including yourself.
sdsu4life - not to take anything away from the fine young athletes in North Park but
yes, the melting pot called Eastlake does know a thing about Little League!!!!
This comment was removed by the site staff for violation of the usage agreement.
Suburbs are suburbs. Barking dogs and screaming kids. All the same. Not really different from anywhere else that takes an hour to get to work. But it gets roasting hot out there. Might as well be Burbank.
But I try to stay humble. I might feel grateful were I to live there. I'm staying in the other burbs. Not that I want to be here. I have to for a while. I can't stand it.
But I am grateful because I'm seriously thinking that it could be worse. At any moment it could get alot worse.
Good! Please leave. Go raise your kids in North Park. I actually like nature. The peace and quiet! I spent a year living in Hollywood and commuted daily to Westwood for an entire summer. I shudder at the small mindedness of your world view. I have a toddler and I love it here. You have some serious issues. Must not be very hot yourself if you complain about the hot moms. Racist much? I can't believe the Reader would publish this. The only thing that I like about this article is that I hope it keeps people from wanting to live here. I hope I don't run into you at Trader Joe's and yes I love big sunglasses.
WOW! I read this article because I live in Eastlake and the past 6 years I've been here have been fabulous! I'm a New Yorker so I completely understand what it's like to miss the city but please if you want to live someplace that reminds you of the city, Downtown SD has plenty of places, stores and homeless people that would fix that city craving.
What stood out the most of ALL the NEGATIVE comments were all the comments made about Mexican's....what the F? Are there really that many RACIST PEOPLE in our so-called diverse community? Or are you just mad that other ethnicities are catching up to your social and/or financial status? Being a New Yorker I'm used to all cultures and it's not only Mexicans who wear perfume, drive BMW's, pluck their eyebrows and wear sunglasses!! I thought the most important thing was trying to raise your family in a nice neighborhood but if these are the parents of the kids our kids go to school with ....how can anyone expect that?! If you're really that INSECURE of being around other cultures maybe you should go back to where your original roots are from....I can almost bet it's not in the U.S.....oh but then again I'm sure you're racist to foreigners as well. SMH!
I grew up in Chula Vista and we raised our kids there and have owned homes in Eastlake. As a realtor, I have sold many homes in Eastlake to buyers and have sold many homes for sellers. There is a reason why it has been voted the best community since 1997. Not only does it have great homes, schools, parks, restaurants, shops, the Olympic Training Center, and activities for all, but it also has a rich cultural diversity. Not every neighborhood is right for everyone. If you don't like a neighborhood, you can always move to another one that you might like better. Like I always say, a home is like a relationship, if you can find 80% then you can live with or fix the other 20%. The same goes for a community. Because we love Eastlake, we had a community video made and also are creating a Facebook page to bring people together. We also are supporting Eastlake Little League this year as well. Please check out the video at: www.oureastlake.com, and "like" our community Facebook page once it is up and running at "Our Eastlake." Take care!

Kenzo Nakamura has been using Mathematica to create Escher-inspired mathematical art.
A trademark piece, Three-Circle Mandala, depicts one large circle covered by three smaller, repeating circles, resulting in a Sierpinski gasket. The final work is representative of a Buddhist mandala.
Nakamura hasn't always used Mathematica to create art, however. He first started using it while writing his master's thesis. Dissatisfied with other software, he looked for a program he could use on his personal computer and fortuitously learned about Mathematica at a seminar. He's been using it ever since.
In addition to pursuing his interests in the technical aspects of Mathematica and writing a book on operations research, Nakamura began using the program to create intriguing works of art. Several of his Mathematica-derived pieces are visual illusions. Although static drawings, their infinite properties create the illusion of movement. Nakamura, who plans to continue pursuing this line of work, says, "Through these drawings, my dream is to create even one drawing that surpasses Escher's drawings."

Lady Vols vault over Oklahoma in regional semifinals
Oklahoma City, OK – Kamiko Williams tallied 15 points, leading four players in double figures, as the Tennessee Lady Vols registered a 74-59 win over the Oklahoma Sooners in the regional semifinals at Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Also scoring in double digits for the second-seeded Lady Vols (27-7), who are now on to the Elite Eight for the 26th time in program history, were Cierra Burdick who dropped in 13 points, followed by Taber Spani and Isabelle Harrison with 12 points apiece, the latter accounting for eight rebounds as well as Tennessee moved to an incredible 115-23 all-time in NCAA Tournament outings.
The sixth-seeded Sooners (24-11) were paced by Sharane Campbell who scored a game-high 22 points, while Joanna McFarland put together a double-double with 14 points and 16 boards. Aaryn Ellenberg pitched in with 13 points, but shot just 2-of-10 from 3-point range and 5-of-21 from the floor overall.
Unfortunately for Oklahoma, the team lost the services of Morgan Hook in the first half due to injury, leaving them without their floor leader who was responsible for more than five assists per game this season.
Tennessee opened the meeting on a 9-3 run, but the Sooners managed to knot the score four minutes in at 9-9. However, from there the Lady Vols again went on the attack, using a 17-4 scoring run to assume the lead and eventually take a 44-27 edge at the break.
Oklahoma was limited to a mere 28.2 percent shooting from the floor through the first 20 minutes of action, including 3-of-15 beyond the arc.
In the second half the Vols extended their advantage to as many as 28 points before the Sooners began chipping away in order to make the final score appear somewhat more acceptable. Both teams shot only 33.3 percent from the floor after intermission.
Oklahoma won the rebounding battle, 50-47, but it made little difference as the squad knocked down only 5-of-29 shots on the perimeter and turned the ball over 17 times on the afternoon,
With the win the Vols, now coached by Holly Warlick who is in his first year following the departure of legendary Pat Summitt, now play Louisville which stunned top-seeded Baylor, 82-81.
Tennessee, which has won a record eight national titles, the last coming in 2008, will be aiming for a 23rd appearance in the Final Four on Tuesday.

Cover it up.
One-by drivetrains are becoming more prevalent for obvious reasons like better ground clearance, less complexity, and optimized gear ratios. The problem is most manufacturers, like Pivot, design its frames to be compatible with direct-mount front derailleurs -- leaving an eyesore to an otherwise fluid design. Thankfully you can cover up those mounts with Pivot's Derailleur Cover Plate.
The Pivot Front Derailleur Cover Plate comes in black with the Pivot logo. It includes a mounting bolt and is constructed from aluminum.

This is a nice cover up, but the silver retention bolt stands out way too much....they should have used black. I painted mine and it now blends in.

Local trivia buff Serge loves inflicting pain. Drug-addled Coleman, his partner in crime, loves cartoons. Hot stripper Sharon Rhodes loves cocaine, especially when purchased with righ dead men's money.
Then there's Sean and David, who love fishing--and helping turtles cross busy thoroughfares. Unfortunately, they're about to cross paths with a suitcase filled with $5 million in stolen money.
Serge wants the suitcase. Sharon wants the suitcase. Coleman wants more drugs...and the suitcase. A hitman wants Satan to reign supreme. A slimy, insurance-frauding dentist wants his fingers back. In the meantime, there's murder by gun, Space Shuttle, Barbie doll, and Levi's 501s.

New Map Provides No New Latino Opportunity Districts
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Today the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force strongly criticized a proposed congressional map released by the chairmen of the House and Senate redistricting committees.
The Solomons-Seliger map creates a Latino majority district between San Antonio and Austin but eviscerates existing Latino-majority Congressional District 20 (San Antonio) so that it is no longer a Latino opportunity district. The Solomons-Seliger map also drastically reconfigures the current Congressional District 27 to remove Nueces County, extend the district to Lavaca County, and re-assign the district number to 34. The Solomons-Seliger map also creates no Latino opportunity congressional district in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex.
"The Solomons-Seliger map does not increase the number of Latino opportunity congressional districts despite the fact that 65% of the State's growth over the past decade was comprised of Latinos," stated Nina Perales, Vice President for Litigation for MALDEF. "Instead, the map gerrymanders more than nine million Latinos in Texas to make sure that we have no more electoral opportunity than we did in 1991."
By contrast, the congressional redistricting proposals offered by the Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force present two additional Latino-majority districts (one in the Dallas Fort Worth area and one in South Texas) and a majority-minority coalition district in Harris County.
The Task Force redistricting plans are available online as Congressional plans C122 and C123 at http://gis1.tlc.state.tx.us/.
The Texas Latino Redistricting Task Force members include Texas LULAC, MALDEF, GI Forum, Southwest Voter Registration Education Project, Domingo Garcia, The Mexican American Bar Association of Texas, former Mayor Pro Tem of Dallas, and La Fe Policy Research and Education Center.
Founded in 1968, MALDEF is the nation's leading Latino legal civil rights organization. Often described as the "law firm of the Latino community," MALDEF promotes social change through advocacy, communications, community education and litigation in the areas of education, employment, immigrant rights and political access.

The Hyatt Lake Recreation Complex main campground will be closed to camping beginning Sunday.
The seasonal closure by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management includes the rest rooms and fish-cleaning station.
However, the main boat dock will remain open for use through the fishing season, closing on Nov. 1. A portable toilet will be available for use near the main boat ramp and dock.
Day use fees still apply. Dry camping within the main campground will be prohibited, but Wildcat Campground on Hyatt Lake will remain open until vehicle access is prevented by snow.
"This was an exciting camping season at the Hyatt Lake Recreation Complex, and we appreciate the public understanding of the boating facility construction this summer," said Phil Lanni, the Hyatt Lake park manager. "The boating facility improvements should be wrapping up shortly, and in 2013 the public will be able to enjoy these new facilities in their entirety," he added.
The boating facility project includes improved parking, new ramps and docks, and improved access. In addition to the improvements at both boat ramps and docks, several facility upgrades have occurred recently, including new siding on the campground buildings.

From OLPC
Health | Literacy | Math | Music | Biology | Chemistry -
Welcome to the OLPC Health Project Page. To understand what we're doing and why we're here please read our Vision Statement.
We are an interdisciplinary group working on medical-related projects associated with the XO, including software, hardware, and content. Health projects can be a local grassroots undertaking, a student group project, a pilot implementation, a global community creation-sprint weekend - we cut across geographic, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries to help all health-related OLPC work move forward.
Recent news
- 2008 World Health Statistics (WHO) published.
- The Health Jam in Seattle, WA took place April 18-20 at the University of Washington. See our Results and plans for the future.
We're always interested in hearing from, talking with, and collaborating with others with similar interests. No particular experience is required—just a passion for OLPC and the health field, and a willingness to learn. We're all constantly learning from and teaching each other.
If you are interested in what we are doing, since March 2008, most of our discussions take place on the Health mailing list. The Library mailing list was used before and connects one to the broader community of content discussions. The best way to join the conversation is to join the lists and introduce yourself. Note that if you are not a list member, any messages you post to a list email address will have to be moderated by the list owner, which results in a delay in distribution.
Log in or create an account on the OLPC wiki, so you can edit pages and receive email notices of updates on pages you want to watch.
For chat via IRC you can find us at #olpc-health on freenode. (what is IRC?)
We occasionally hold phone meetings, you can find the agenda and minutes at Health meetings.
Health Projects
The Health projects take three major forms; Content, Software and Hardware along with some other organizational and implementation projects.
Health Content
We are working to create a comprehensive set of health information modules that are localized to each of the target countries. Over the next several months we will be working to find partners to donate content appropriate for the XO. There are also several existing copyright-free projects that we are translating and extending such as the Ankylosing Spondylitis blog. We will use that content as a starting point, localizing and extending it to meet the needs of the children in our target countries. For more information on this project, see Health content.
Bolivia Maternal Health Education Project
OLE Bolivia is partnering with them to develop a content/education delivery bundle for field test in March of 2009.
Animal Health
- Basic animal health care and preventative measures; One, connect basic biology content more closely to the study of human health; and two, directly effect likelihood of animal borne diseases. Animal health and husbandry education could also have sanitation and economic benefits in rural areas. For more information see Animal Health.
Health Software
We are working software projects geared specifically towards Health on the XO, and are adapting existing applications as well. For example Measure is one example of an existing Activity being adapted for Health use. By plugging in sensors like an EKG to the XO's audio-in port, vital signs can be measured via software. Vital signs and medical records can also be stored in various medical record software systems. Various people are working on WorldVistA for this purpose.
Health Hardware
There are currently several groups working on Health sensors for the XO. Some are a simple as a temperature gauge that can be plugged into the audio-in port and used with Measure. But the eventual goal of Health Hardware is a $10USD USB device that can act as a full TeleHealth remote sensor package for pulse, temperature, blood oximeter, and many other simple sensors. Along with existing components such as the built in webcam on the XO this will allow doctors to diagnose patients from hundreds of miles away.
Health Misc
There are other projects that are needed to implement any sort of Healthcare with the XO. There are ongoing efforts to help translate our content, as well as our software. Recruiting new healthcare workers, programmers and other tasks is always important and could use your help. Once our materials are finished, we will of course need people for training people how to use our tools. And of course this and other Health Category pages need organizing and updating. We can always use volunteers for this.
Health Organizations
The Health Projects of OLPC are still in their infancy. Some working relationships have been started with Health Organizations. The Hesperian Foundation[1] is the first such group to contribute to OLPC Health. But other groups have expressed interest and talks are underway.
If you would like to add to our list of candidates, or help write proposals to these groups, please visit the Health Organizations page.
Getting Involved
If you are interested in our project you can help. We need people from all disciplines, health-related or not, professionally trained or not. If you don't find a place in any of these projects you can always contact Arjun or Seth to help find you a home.
If you think you fit any of the following categories, please visit the page and see how you can help:
A note about OLPC and Health projects
OLPC is committed in its efforts to providing children in developing countries with a low cost, connected laptop. The laptop is a tool for learning, sharing and expression; however, the presence of a low-cost, rugged and connected device such as the XO laptop goes on to benefit the communities (kids and their families) in more ways than just one. One of these aspects is improving health and living practices of people.
There has been a lot of interest from volunteers and organizations to develop applications and tools around the XO laptop that would help the recipients of the laptop and their families adopt healthy living practices. These initiatives have largely centered around development of software and content which serves to act as a source of reference for symptoms, diseases and preventive practices and healthy living. There have also been certain efforts in the development of tele-health peripheral modules.
While OLPC is not currently in a position where it could fund these projects, it can endorse the efforts and partner in grant applications. Also, OLPC will do its best in providing communication channels (mailing lists, conference calls, project hosting etc.) that facilitate these projects.

Bryant dominates as Lakers down Blazers
Portland, OR – Kobe Bryant shot 14-of-27 from the field and a perfect 18-of-18 from the foul line for a season-high 47 points as the Los Angeles Lakers held off the Portland Trail Blazers, 113-106.
Bryant stuffed the stat sheet elsewhere as well, finishing with eight rebounds, five assists, four blocks and three steals for the Lakers, who have won five of six and moved a game up on Utah for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Pau Gasol tallied 23 points, nine assists and seven rebounds, while Dwight Howard added 20 points, 10 boards and three blocks.
Damian Lillard scored a career-best 38 points while dishing out nine assists for Portland, which extended its losing streak to nine games. LaMarcus Aldridge notched a double-double with 17 points and 16 rebounds, while Luke Babbitt shot 4-of-5 from 3-point range for 12 points off the bench.
Portland opened the game on a 9-2 run and carried a 41-33 lead at the end of one quarter.
The Blazers led throughout the second quarter, and while the Lakers ripped off five straight points in the final 40 seconds of the half, Aldridge threw down an alley-oop from Victor Claver in the waning seconds, as Portland held a 69-61 advantage going into intermission.
Bryant scored 28 of his 47 points in the high-scoring first half, while Lillard poured in 25 of his 38.
The Lakers came out of halftime red-hot, ripping off a 17-2 run to take a 78-71 lead with 7:55 to play in the frame. The Blazers answered immediately with a 7-0 run of their own and eventually entered the fourth quarter with a 90-88 advantage.
The teams exchanged leads for the better part of the fourth quarter before Los Angeles scored eight straight points to take a 106-100 lead with just over four minutes remaining and it never surrendered that advantage the rest of the way. Portland managed just six points in the final 5 1/2 minutes of the contest.
Game Notes
Bryant has scored 40 or more points eight times this season, tied with Carmelo Anthony for most in the league ... After beating New Orleans on Tuesday, the Lakers have won on consecutive days for the first time all season ... Steve Blake chipped in eight points and seven rebounds for the Lakers ... Los Angeles outscored Portland in the paint, 54-32 ... The Blazers' losing streak is their longest since dropping 11 straight during the 2005-06 campaign.

Artist Profile: Beach Glass Jewelry by Susan Koch
For Susan Koch, summers spent on Galiano Island inspired a lifelong fascination with beach stones and sea glass. She incorporates these elements in her organic silver and copper jewellery. All her pieces are hand-fabricated and one of a kind. Susan studied silversmithing in Vancouver, Victoria, San Francisco, Seattle, Mendocino, and Mexico, and we are fortunate to showcase her beautiful pieces in our On The Beach building.
The magic behind these pieces is found in their history. Each glass stone requires 30 – 40 years of tumbling in the sand and surf to acquire the signature frosted look. The colours are just as important. Each colour comes from unique glasses, especially the rarer turquoises, cobalts, reds, oranges, cornflowers, and purples.
Interestingly, the purple glasses began their lives as clear glass, and pre-date the First World War. This rare colour-changing occurrence is attributed to prolonged UV exposure and the use of manganese in the glass making process – an ingredient no longer used in glass production post 1920s, making these pieces especially rare.
To view these unique pieces and others, visit our On The Beach building reception area, or visit Sue's website at http://www.susankoch.ca

Really pleased with our new kitchen. All the tradesmen Carl sent around were absolutely superb and very trustworthy as we had to leave them home alone. Ben the fitter especially was a perfectionist! Couldn't be happier with the end result.
Mrs Hamo
Hello Carl To say we are satisfied with the new kitchen you designed, and Ben installed, understates how we feel. We are absolutely delighted with our new kitchen. From our initial visit to you, and right through the planning, ordering, and finally the installation by Ben, you have looked after us and treated us very well. You gave us all the different options without any 'hard sell'. Your lead time on the units we purchased was realistic and everything arrived on time. We must say the care taken and attention to detail during installation was outstanding along with your after sales service support We will, without hesitation recommend you & your company to anyone who asks us about our new kitchen, we wish you every success in the future. Thank you
Andy & Louise
We used websters kitchens to design,build,supply and fit our kitchen because the quality of the units were what we were looking for. Right from the very first time we met Carl he gave us confidence in what we wanted and he always had a can do attitude. There was never any doubt that our kitchen would not be how we wanted it to be. Carl talked us through every step and arranged all the contractors to be here at the right stages. The craftsmen Carl supplies are outstanding in their detail for perfection, therefore the end result is perfect. We have an amazing kitchen thanks to Websters Kitchen Specialists.
Mrs Park
From first design to installation and after sales service I would like to very highly recommend this kitchen company. This is a family run business with fantastic attention to detail, innovative ideas and a friendly on time service. All contractors used by this firm have the same approach to their customers communicate well and will readily be flexible to fit in with your needs. I would not hesitate to use them again.
Angela & Owen

Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2666MHz 16GB Review
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2666MHz 16GB Introduction:
Corsair's Vengeance line up has traditionally played second fiddle to the Dominator as the more affordable enthusiast level modules. Not to diminish the brand in any way mind you, but the Dominators line has always been at the top of the food chain and come with a nice price premium over the lower tier lines. Not so any longer with the Vengeance Pro series modules that are designed primarily for the overclocking community. On Intel's Z77 platform we saw huge increases in the memory controller performance, with the Z87 platform pushing that even further for truly awe inspiring memory clock speeds. As of now the record stands at 4404MHz. Of course most of the top clocks are run single channel and at sub zero temperatures with nothing more than reputation and e-peen as the goal!
Now what we get with this new lineup is an improved heat shield design that comes with different color accents to match the theme of your case, be it blue, silver, gold or red, on the 16GB set I am looking at today. The Vengeance Pro modules are designed to run on the latest Haswell-based platforms to take advantage of the robust memory controller architecture built into the processors. The modules are built upon an eight layer PCB with specially binned memory ICs in speeds from 1600MHz to 2933MHz or higher. This list includes some specialty sets built using hand binned ICs for higher speeds of up and over DDR3-3000MHz. Having looked at a few kits running on the Z87 platform, it will be interesting to see how this 2666MHz 2x8GB set fares by comparison.
Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 2666MHz 16GB Closer Look:
Visually appealing, the packaging sets the tone for your expectations with a picture of the bold-looking module up front and personal against a deep red and black background. Across the top is the Corsair logo and capacity of this kit (16GB). Along the bottom is the Vengeance logo with the banner showing this is the Pro sereis modules designed for use with motherboards and processorson the Z77 and Z87 Intel chipsets. On the back panel is a short intro on the genesis of the Vengeance Pro line in multiple languages highlighted with a lifetime warranty. A pair of windows show off the center of the modules illustrating the part number, voltage, and revision number. Inside the shell, the Vengeance Pro 2666MHz modules are secured in a clear blister pack along with the warranty information in case the Vengeance Pro modules fail.
Out of the packaging and laid out, we see the new Vengeance Pro series modules come with a much different aluminum heat shield than that of the standard Vengeance line, which comes with either a tall or low profile design. The Vengeance Pro line comes with an accent clip in various colors to suite your build. Instead of the whole heat shield being colored, only the accent on the top of the modules and the background of the Vengeance graphic is colored against an anodized black background. This kit, part number CMY16GX3M2A2666CllR, is 16GB in capacity made up of 2x8GB modules running at DDR3 2666MHz using primary timings of 11-13-13-31, is equipped with an XMP 1.3 profile and uses 1.65v to run the numbers.
Corsair is keenly image conscious and decided to use an eight layer black PCB with the Vengeance Pro series instead of a green PCB that would detract from the good looks of these modules. Highly screened memory ICs are used with both sides of the module populated with memory ICs on this kit. Corsair's Vengeance Pro heat shield is a new design but is still fairly tall at 38.1mm from top to bottom and may cause interference with large CPU heat sinks. However, if you are using an all-in-one style liquid cooling solution such as one of Corsair's Hydro Series solutions you will not have any clearance issues. At 38mm the heat shield is tall enough to take advantage of the cooing air stream going to the CPU keeping the modules cool when the voltage is pushed.
Good looks, high speeds, and a lifetime warranty all make this an attractive set of memory. However the real worth will be in how well it performs in the testing.

Award #1108127
Project website address : www.osc.edu/research/Biomed/projects/OEDG
General Approach/Goals:
The overall objective is, through integration of emerging simulations technologies and graphic techniques, to provide a rich virtual environment of a geological field study for students with mobility impairments. This project seeks to develop and test the efficacy of a simulated representation of cave and karst formations for use in geoscience education, with the intent to increase interest and to support participation by students with mobility impairments, an under-represented group in geoscience. The expected outcome is that the emulation of a field experience developed under the OEDG Track1 effort would be pedagogically adequate to meet course objectives and sufficiently preclude the need for physical "presence" during traditional field studies.
The specific objectives of this OEDG Track 1 effort are:
1. Obtain additional data related to the geological formations of the study - Scanned data of Mammoth Cave was obtained from the Cave Research Foundation. Additional high precision data, LIDAR and digital photography, of specific geological formations were obtained during a site expedition.
2. Integrate the data into a virtual environment to emulate a typical field experience - These data were integrated into a unified computer model (See Figure 1 below). This model is loaded into the game engine Unity, and can be interactively explored. In addition, the system provides a networked version, where participants from disparate locations can collectively meet and explore the cave. A video of the model is available on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woHH8J0mZO4&feature=channel&list=UL
3. Conduct usability studies with the mobility impaired community - We are in the midst of conducting formative evaluations with various student populations. Students identified through OSAA will participate in formative and summative evaluations of the developed cave and karst system module.
