Teen Killed In Porter Ranch “Head Out The Window” Accident Was Woodland Hills Resident
I remember hearing about this a few weeks back, but didn’t know the kid lived in Woodland Hills. It happened on Friday, February 12, 2010. There is a Facebook memorial page for Adir Vered with almost 3,000 members.
PORTER RANCH — A 17-year-old boy who had his head sticking out of a car window died when the 16-year-old driver crashed into a parked vehicle in Porter Ranch.
The crash happened around 9:25 p.m. Friday in the 10400 block of Wystone Avenue, according to Sgt. Charles Swanson of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Valley Traffic Division.
The 17-year-old was apparently not wearing a seat belt, and was ejected from the car when his head struck the parked car.
The deceased teen was identified as Adir Vered, an honor student.
The 16-year-old driver and another passenger, also 16, were not injured, Swanson said.
After an investigation, police officials said they had no reason to believe the driver was under the influence of alcohol.

Happy Groundhog Day Woodland Hills!
Strike Up The Music, The Band Has Begun
Groundhog Day is one of my favorite holidays, and I’m not exactly sure why. Probably because of the Bill Murray movie. One day I hope to make it Gobbler’s Knob for the festivities. Looks like we’ve got six more weeks of winter. And a strange winter it has been here in Woodland Hills, hasn’t it? Wet, but not quite as cold (overall) as usual? Do you agree? Granted, there have been some brutally cold days.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette writes:
Don’t put those cold weather clothes in storage just yet.
Punxsutawney Phil, the internationally known weather prognosticating groundhog, saw his shadow this morning and predicted six more weeks of winter.
Thousands gathered on Gobbler’s Knob in Jefferson County to await the groundhog’s annual prediction. The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club said Phil has seen his shadow 98 times since 1887, hasn’t seen it 15 times, and there are no records for nine years.

Kardashians Closing Smooch in Calabasas
Kim Kardashian writes on her blog:
Last week Kourtney announced on her blog that she and mom will be closing Smooch. The store was Kourtney’s baby. She put so much time and effort into Smooch to make it what it is, and we were all so proud of her for setting her mind to it and achieving her long time dream of opening a childrens’ clothing store. But now that her son is coming along, she has to focus on being the best mother she can be to him and unfortunately the store just wouldn’t be the same without her. We’re all sad to see the store go, but I think Kourt and mom made the best choice. Now they both have more time to dote on the baby when he arrives!
Smooch is having a huge sale right now. The custom made furniture they sell there will also be on sale! They have the cutest beds, desks and chandeliers!
Smooch is located in the same shopping plaza on Park Granada in Calabasas as the sisters’ more successful (albeit questionably) boutique Dash. I’m sure the unit will be available for lease soon with a crazily jacked up rent.
