Free Mulch For Pasadena Residents Every Month Through October
FREE MULCH AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT 2014 TO PASADENA RESIDENTS
PASADENA, Calif.—The City’s 2014 Mulch Give-Away Program provides free, fresh garden mulch to Pasadena residents throughout the year. The mulch is delivered by the Department of Public Works, www.cityofpasadena.net/PublicWorks, to Victory Park, 2575 Paloma St., southeast corner of the parking lot. Mulch is available at the park while supplies last, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., beginning Feb. 14.
New loads of mulch will be delivered once per month in 2014 on March 14, April 11, May 9, June 6, July 18, August 1, September 12 and October 10. Residents should bring shovels, containers, gloves and eye protection to collect the mulch.
The Mulch Give-Away program is a free, environmentally friendly service for residents that uses the recycled trimmings from City street trees. Mulch is good for your garden and the environment, especially in the current drought conditions.
Mulch can help:
- Retain valuable moisture, saving both water and money on your utility bill
- Control soil erosion and slowly break down into beneficial nutrients for the soil
- Suppress weeds and make your garden more attractive
- Reduce the City’s carbon footprint by using less landfill space and truck trips to the landfill
- Increase Pasadena’s solid waste diversion rate.

Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt
— See Michael Lewis on “60 Minutes,” Sunday, March 30, Stock Market Rigged
— Excerpt, New York Times Sunday Magazine, April 6, The Wolf Hunters of Wall Street — NPR, Stock Market Rigged, says Michael Lewis, March 31 — Forbes, Michael Lewis is about to Disrupt the Politics of High Speed Trading, March 29 — Bloomberg BusinessWeek, High Speed Traders Rip Off Investors, Lewis says, March 31 Four years after his #1 bestseller The Big Short, MICHAEL LEWIS returns to Wall Street to report on a high-tech predator stalking the equity markets.
Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that, post–financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets. This they do by creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading—source of the most intractable problems—will have no advantage whatsoever.
CREATIVITY, INC.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration
ED CATMULL, who co-founded Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter, and has been honored with five Academy Awards, shares the ideals that have made Pixar so widely admired and profitable; on how to build an environment that fosters problem solving and creativity;
on how a leader enables his/her people to thrive and collaborate effectively, and especially on building and managing a creative corporate culture.

Meet Bill Wathen, co-owner and Winemaker of Foxen Winery. Bill will be pouring Foxen’s
- 2011 Cuvee Jeanne Marie. Wine Advocate- 91 Points
Looking at their Rhone blends, the 2011 Cuvée Jeanne Marie is a blend of 78% Grenache and 22% Mourvedre that spends 16 months in 2-3 year-old-barrels. Coming from high-density planting and clay soils, it offers up a lush, sexy profile with kirsch, licorice, toasted spice and leather flowing to a medium-bodied, sweetly fruited palate. Seamless, balanced and straight-up delicious, it should have a minimum of 4-5 years of prime drinking.
Meet Dr. Bob Baehner, owner of Baehner Fournier. Bob will be pouring:
- The celebrated “V3” Blend
This bottling represents the third release of our Gold Medal award winning “V3″ Blend, and we feel it may be our best yet. Grown entirely on the steep hillsides of our estate vineyards in the Eastern Santa Ynez Valley, this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot offers the vineyard’s signature flavors and aromas of cherry, cassis, rose petals and sweet spices. Bold and complex on the palate, the wine will continue to age and develop further complexity in the bottle for many years. 248 cases produced.
Meet Alta Maria Winery Alta Maria Winery will be pouring:
- 2012 Chardonnay ~ Bien Nacido Vineyard 100% Neutral Oak Fermented Aged
This Bien Nacido Chardonnay bottling comes from the original and most sought after blocks on the ranch from vines that were planted in 1973.
Meet Dragonette Cellars Dragonette will be pouring:
- 2012 Pinot Noir “Radian Vineyard”
Radian is a new and exceptionally promising vineyard at the very western edge of the Sta. Rita Hills. We selected our blocks from the most extreme portions at the very top of the vineyard. Our blocks are therefore at high elevation on steep, north facing slopes, and planted in almost pure diatomaceous earth. Our blocks are regularly buffeted by high winds and/or covered in fog, which severely limits yields to under 1 ton per acre. The wines are unique, highly concentrated red fruits, but with great acidity, an intense mineral streak, and complexity from earth and fresh herb notes. The 2011 vintage of this wine received 92 points from Josh Raynolds in Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar.
Appellation: Sta. Rita Hills
Vineyard Sources: 100% Radian Vineyard
Case Production: 200
