Oceanside Museum of Art presents

LOVE LETTERS IN METAL: JEWELRY BY SVETOZA AND RUTH RADOKOVICH

 

Svetozar (Toza) and Ruth Radakovich created some of the most exquisite, unique, and recognizable pieces of mid century American jewelry. Their designs have left a lasting impression on the modern design and studio jewelry movement. Radakovich jewelry is exceptionally rare, whereas many studio jewelers created a design and produced hundreds of examples, the Radakoviches were known for creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces which took inordinate amounts of time to perfect and complete. This exhibition is a narrative of their interwoven personal and professional lives-a long journey across continents and wars during which they found ways to speak words of love to each other through their art.

CA Tax Freedom Day- 4/30/2016...

In a Marketatch article written by Catey Hill 4/18/2016, she reports that the "so-called Tax Freedom Day is the day when the nation as a whole has earned enough money to pay its federal, state and local taxes. This year, Tax Freedom Day falls on April 24, and it’s the day in which we’ve earned enough to foot our $4.99 trillion 2016 tax bill (that’s 31% of the national income), according to the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan tax research organization."

In California, Tax Freedom Day occurs on 4/30/2016 due to higher tax and higher income.

She also reported a "Fun fact: The earliest ever Tax Freedom Day came on January 22 in the year 1900, when Americans paid just 5.9% of their income in taxes. The latest was on May 1, 2000, when we paid 33%."

How Long do Household Appliances Last?

Thanks to the editorial staff at FirstTuesday Journal (2/4/16) who provided the answer to the life expectancy for household appliances question:

As much as we don’t like to think about it, household appliances need to be upgraded at some point. Most warranties offer an easy solution to this problem, but it isn’t always so simple. Regular maintenance while planning for replacements can help extend the life of your appliances and prevent financial and emotional shock when they break down.

Air conditioner: Good-quality central air conditioners can last up to 20 years, with many replacement parts readily available.

• Filter cleaning or replacement improves efficiency and protects the health of the evaporator coil. The coil should be cleaned once a year.
• Problems may also arise from incorrect installation resulting in leaky ducts and low airflow. Consult an HVAC professional to ensure your AC is functioning properly.

Dishwasher: Dishwashers usually last no more than 10 years.

• Pay attention to lime buildup — use a lime descaler once a year to extend the life of your appliance.
• Clean your dishwasher’s filter every six months to greatly improve its cleaning ability.

Refrigerator: Refrigerators need to be replaced about every 15 years.

• Clean dusty condenser coils twice a year to improve performance and extend the life of your refrigerator.
• Clean door gaskets to ensure a tight seal and prevent stress to the refrigerator’s motor — gasket repairs can be costly.

Washer/Dryer: At an average of one load per day, all newer model washing machines and dryers can last up to 14 years.

• Avoid overloading your washer to reduce the strain placed on its moving parts and extend its life.
• Clean the lint screen on your dryer after every load to improve circulation and eliminate fire hazards — use the long nozzle on vacuum to clean lint missed by the screen.

Water heater: Depending on the type of water heater in your home (standard storage, tankless, heat pump or solar) it can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years.

• Water heaters are subject to rust and mineral buildup. Flushing sediment from the tank and checking the anode rods once a year will help improve efficiency and longevity. Replacing the anode rods when needed can save you hundreds of dollars.
• Experts recommend repairing rather than replacing your water heater up until 10 years of use. When problems become more complicated after that, it’s time to consider upgrading.
