    The Asian Population in Irvine in Percentage wise Peaked at 45.6% and then stayed stagnant for the last 15 years. Why?

    Recommendation for front load washer

    Looking to replace my washer. Sadly the speed queen front load model is out of my price range. Seems online reviews bash every brand/model except the most expensive.

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    IMO they should advice everyone to fill their gas tanks (if applicable) and stock up on bottled water and ready to eat canned food. If you're not eating the canned food, donate them at least 3 months before "best use by" date. But since it's for emergencies, you should taste test the food...
