Happy New Year from the Monthly Grapevine! The most common resolutions for the New Near are losing weight, quitting bad habits and getting out of debt. But here at TMG, we are going GREENER! We have new, crisper, whiter paper that we are now printing our publication on, and the best part about it is that it’s even more environmentally friendly than before.

PRODUCT OF BLUEWATER PUBLISHING LLC

It also allows us to keep our pricing competitive, while delivering 64,000 copies to consumer mailboxes each and every month. With the cost of paper and postage going up again this year, that is a huge accomplishment!

Another huge accomplishment is that we have been voted Business of the Year by the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce. This is a title I am very, very proud to have, especially this year. So, thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for us.

Our goal each and every year is to provide a useful advertising vehicle for consumers to find what they need and help our small business owners to rebuild the local economy.

HEALTH

Who’s Who... in East County

Why choose Perfect Smiles over other dental offices? Well, the reasons are numerous but we’ll highlight the ones most relevant to you! Perfect Smiles is locally owned by a family who believes in hiring from the communities they serve.

Our employees are often from the community itself or the neighboring cities.

We believe in supporting local businesses, doing our share of buying locally as often as we can and being involved in community organized events. That’s what we do outside of the office!

Inside the office, you’ll find state-of-the-art dental equipment. From digital x-rays, which minimize radiation exposure, to intra oral cameras to give you a full view of what our dentists see; all of this is a part of Perfect Smiles. We constantly educate our staff about the changes in dental technology and we make every effort to keep up with the times, so that the level of care our patients receive is thorough, reliable and beyond the basic standard of care. The Internet café, refreshments and the lobby and operatory plasma TV’s don’t hurt either.

Lastly and most importantly, the state-of-the art dental equipment is used by some of the most gentle and competent practitioners in the industry. Log on to our website and scroll through hundreds of raw, unfiltered reviews about how gentle our doctors are, how caring the assistants are and how knowledgeable and responsive our finance department is. From start to finish, we are committed to making your experience flawless and we won’t disappoint. Thousands of patients have come through our office only to leave with bright, beautiful smiles, and only to return with their friends and family in tow. So come visit us today!

And see first-hand how a small local mom and pop shop can withstand the recession and continue to grow in patient base. We must be doing something right! And that “something right” is exactly what you deserve.

HOME

THINK OUT OF THE

HOME

ON THE HOUSE

LED’s Have Come Of Age How times change.

Since the midnineties everyone and his brother has raved about the energy efficiency of the compact fluorescent light bulb (CFL).

When the CFL was introduced is was more energy efficient than any other type of lighting that had previously been used in the home. Where old-fashioned filament style incandescent bulbs were good for 1200 hours of use, the public clamored to purchase CFL’s that burned for 8,000 hours and more – using one-fifth of the energy.

As staunchly as we supported the change from conventional filament lighting to CFL use, we are now in the midst of an even better alternative. We feel that compact fluorescents will be fading away sooner than later. The reason is simple. The next generation of artificial lighting is equally cheap to operate, much, much brighter (and oh so much whiter) and longer lasting than CFL’s too. How about a life span of 25,000 hours for starters!?! Where we never saw a key chain size CFL flashlight an LED keychain flashlight is now at every

checkout counter. The light emitting diode (LED) has finally made its way through lighting puberty (and the flashlight circuit) and is now stretching its “I’m the best and cheapest lighting for your home” muscles. Just about every manufacturer of lighting is now offering some sort of household LED alternative. Big box and independent hardware stores alike, all offer an assortment of LED lighting.

Don’t be fooled by the first generation of solar powered LED path lights that barely offered enough light to be seen on anything but pitch-black night. We’ve discovered that LED lighting for the home is literally Amazing! And we are so glad.

No mercury, no special handling, and, best of all, LED’s are recyclable Our latest whole house remodel partly involved replacing a 70’s style recessed fluorescent light box and other dated fixtures with new LED recess lights. The result was brighter rooms and halls (no more putrid colored light), even lighting and lighting that is truly white. When the lighting is bright and the lighting is white the true colors used to decorate a room pop out and are more vivid and bold.

Also, there is no time delay. LED’s are “instant on” bulbs.

LED’s have been used commonly since the early 1960’s as indicator lights in electronics

Before you sign a contract;

and have been growing as a light source ever since. At the Greenbuild 2012 green products tradeshow we spoke with several light fixture manufacturers who stated that LED technology had “come of age” and that LED had become “dependable enough to manufacture high end commercial lighting” for street lighting, parking lots, stadiums and just about any other conceivable use.

We strongly urge you to experiment with a good quality LED light somewhere in your home. The absence of heat, the evenly disbursed bright white light, the continued energy savings you have with fluorescents, the compactness, the instant start up, the unbelievable lasting quality and the absence of mercury make the LED the next “safer” generation of home lighting. The incandescent was our VHS. The CFL was our Laser Disk and the LED is our DVD/Blue-ray.

LED’s are still a bit pricey, but if we each purchase one, “supply-demand” will kick in and the price will drop. Wonder what Ben Franklin would think?

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS...

BUCKLE UP! One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up.

Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior. That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children.

Do you know someone living with cancer?

Kaleidoscope Cancer Connection can help.

What is Kaleidoscope? Kaleidoscope was established to maintain generous, supportive, and abiding relationships with those isolated, suffering and living with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. We seek to pick up where conventional medicine leaves off; our primary concerns being the distinct emotional and spiritual journey that may be as or more debilitating than the physical symptoms themselves.

Kaleidoscope is 100% a volunteer organization located in Byron, CA. We strive to offer support services to people in Discovery Bay, Brentwood, Byron, Oakley, Bethel Island and Knightsen. Our services are offered at no cost or obligation and include: Bag of Hope - An unexpected gift bag for a person living with cancer or other life-threatening illnesses Kaleidoscope Kids Club - Children create items for the Bags of Hope and the Comfort and Joy Baskets Krockpot Brigade - A freshly prepared meal served weekly for the families of those undergoing treatment Comfort and Joy Baskets - Personalized baskets delivered to families during the holidays, filled with handmade items, gifts, home baked goodies etc.
