With the change to Daylight Saving Time it makes me crave the warmer weather. Even though the calendar says it’s spring, March & April has the most rainfall in Northern California than any other month of the year, but we can still get ready for the warmer weather starting with shopping at the local farmer’s markets. Not only do our local farms make eating healthy, easy and inexpensive, it’s a great excuse to get outside, even if it’s raining! Buying local food keeps our dollars circulating in our community and is fresher and tastes better. Local farmers can offer food produced for taste, rather than for shipping and long shelf life. It’s better for the environment, because local food doesn’t have far to travel, reducing carbon dioxide emissions and packing materials. At our produce stands and farmer’s markets, you’ll find everything from almonds, walnuts & pistachios to plums, persimmons & pears. Enjoy an outing to a local farm for U-Pick cherries, apricots, peaches or berries. Justpicked tomatoes, onions and peppers make for a flavorful salsa. Any meal tastes better with fresh vegetables, like green beans, peas or cucumbers. You’ll even find items such as honey, oils & vinegars, homemade pies and wines. 4

Dr. Moulton-Barrett Are you looking for the best in cosmetic surgery or reconstructive plastic surgery? Then consider Dr. Rex Moulton-Barrett of Brentwood Laser and Aesthetics. Dr. MoultonBarrett specializes in cosmetic surgery and reconstructive surgery and is board certified in two distinct surgical specialties, The American Board of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and The American Board of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Dr. Moulton-Barrett has helped hundreds of women and men look and feel better about themselves by using the latest procedures for breast augmentation, mastopexy, tummy tuck, liposuction, rhinoplasty, facelift and eyelid surgery. He also specializes in the latest skincare products and procedures to help restore, renew and refresh your skin. U.S. born, Dr. Moulton-Barrett was educated in the United Kingdom, and completed his medical degree at the University of Birmingham Medical School in Birmingham, England prior to surgical residency in the United States. He also interned at U. C. Davis, Irvine and Miami. He has been licensed as a physician in California since 1989, and shares his medical and surgical expertise in many hospital environments throughout the Bay Area, with active surgical privileges at Alta Bates Medical Center in

Dr. Moulton-Barrett emphasizes the importance of patient education to enable one to make an informed decision concerning their treatment options. Following a comprehensive evaluation, he provides patients with honest and detailed information about various treatments, techniques and procedures, as well as educating his patients on what to expect before, during and after treatments and procedures. Dr. Moulton-Barrett recognizes that natural features help define an individual’s appearance. He guides each patient through choosing the most appropriate treatment option to enhance and optimize facial and body architecture in a manner acknowledging balance, proportion and harmony. Related factors such as individual lifestyle, home and work environments, attitude and active participation in individual health care needs are discussed at length so that both the patient and physician share the same approach, preparation and goals towards achieving the best possible results. In addition, Dr. Moulton-Barrett’s staff is extremely professional and experienced and many have been with Dr. MoultonBarrett for more than ten years. And the nurses in the office perform the newest treatments in the four aspects of a Medispa: skin care, laser, Botox/ Xeomin, and fillers.

Dr. Moulton-Barrett participates with a number of international volunteer health organizations dedicated to providing reconstructive surgery to the underprivileged. He has traveled with these groups to remote locations throughout the world including Viet Nam, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Guatemala, Nicaragua and the Philippines, to perform hundreds of surgical procedures on infants, children and adults suffering from disfiguring and disabling cleft lip and palate, burns, congenital hand malformations and pediatric head and neck tumors. Testimonials Dr. Rex Moulton-Barrett recently revised my breast augmentation. I knew I was not happy with the original surgery I had by another surgeon, but I did not know why. As it turned out, one implant was lower and one pocket was bigger. Dr Rex was caring, supportive and answered all my questions. He helped me feel at ease of any anxiety I felt. I recovered fast and comfortably. - Amya I had Dupytren’s Disease for 3 years which stopped me from extending my ring finger on my right hand. Dr Barrett released all the scar tissue and now I can straighten my finger. It was not very painful and so I am going to have him do the same on my left hand which I thought for many years could not be repaired. - Bill M.

Dr. Moulton-Barret is located at 1280 Central Blvd., Suite J-5 in Brentwood. He can be contacted at 925-240-8775 or visit their website at www.moultonbarrett.com.

TRAVEL TIME

Alaskan Waters For its 24th consecutive season, Royal Caribbean International will ply Alaskan waters in summer 2013 once again, with the cruise line’s recently revitalized ships to offer vacationers a virtually new fleet in the region. Revitalized Rhapsody of the Seas will offer guests refreshed staterooms, expanded technological conveniences, and nearly quadrupled dining options on sevennight round-trip cruises from Seattle, Wash. Radiance of the Seas, also revitalized in 2011, will alternate sevennight north and southbound itineraries from Vancouver and Seward, Alaska, respectively. Guests will be awed by nature’s grandness, encounter thriving wildlife, and enjoy Royal Caribbean’s Gold Anchor Service for an incredible adventure in the Last Frontier. Royal Caribbean International’s summer 2013 Alaska cruises and Cruisetours are now open for sale.

To fully experience all that Alaska can offer, vacationers can choose a Royal Caribbean Alaska Cruisetour, which combines a Radiance of the Seas’ sailing with a pre- or post-cruise land tour that totals to a 10 to 13-night land and sea adventure that ranges as far north as Fairbanks. For the land tour portion, guests are escorted by a dedicated Royal Caribbean Tour Director, who knows what to see, where to eat and how to experience the most of Alaska. Royal Caribbean Cruisetours include premium hotel accommodations, motorcoach transportation, admission into select attractions, and peace of mind - Royal Caribbean takes care of all the details. Almost all 2013 Alaska Cruisetours also include a leg aboard the Wilderness Express, Royal Caribbean’s luxurious, glass-domed train cars that offer incomparable views of the unfolding and untamed Denali National Park. Vacationers also can choose a 13-night Canadian Rockies Cruisetour, which features independent travel aboard VIA Rail to Calgary, Banff, Jasper, Vancouver and Victoria. Furthermore,

vacationers can choose an 18-night Cruisetour that combines Alaska and the Canadian Rockies for a truly grand Pacific Northwest expedition. Every Friday Radiance of the Seas will alternate seven-night north- and southbound itineraries between Vancouver and Seward, Alaska. Alaskan ports of call include Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point, Juneau, and Skagway. Additionally, guests will cruise the Inside Passage as well as get an upclose view of Hubbard Glacier. Rhapsody of the Seas will sail every Friday on seven-night, round-trip Alaska cruises from Seattle, calling at Juneau and Skagway, Alaska, and Victoria, B.C. Those transiting Alaska’s Inside Passage will venture up Tracy Arm Fjord to see Sawyer Glacier. Radiance of the Seas’ guests have more than double the dining options prior to its 2011 revitalization with eight specialty restaurants. Getaway Cruises n’ Tours can be contacted at 925-679-8428 or getawaycnt1@prodigy.net. Visit their website for the latest in cruise and tour specials at www.getawaycruisesntours.com.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

children entering kindergarten suck a finger or thumb and about 6 percent of seven to eleven year olds tend to suck their finger or thumb at night.

Thumb Sucking Habit and its Influence on Dental Health Children are born with a suckling reflex and it is associated with nourishment, love, and other warm feelings. Babies have been documented to begin thumb sucking in the uterus in sonograms. Children soon transfer this sucking action to a convenient finger, thumb or even a toe. Children find finger sucking to ward off boredom and also to soothe distress, illness, or tiredness and very soon this becomes a habit. About 33 to 55 percent of three to five year olds suck fingers and thumbs when they get tired. Some of them quit sucking entirely once they begin preschool due to peer pressure but may continue to suck at night times. About thirteen percent of

Usually, the more vigorous and prolonged the sucking habit and the more fingers sucked, the greater the degree of damage to the dental growth of the jaw and the teeth and it will become resistant to spontaneous reversal. Between the ages of four and just before the permanent teeth start erupting is when the damage to the palate can be reversed. If the habit continues past four years of age, it usually changes the normal growth pattern and development of the bones of the face, facial muscles and the nose, sinuses, teeth alignment, lips and even the growth of the finger. This, in turn affects the child’s speech, breathing and swallowing. Older children can experience difficulty with socialization and can develop negative self esteem, therefore causing a psychological problem as well. Therefore, it is very important to deal with this habit early on and children should be treated with respect and

given encouragement, support and love in the desire to stop this habit. Usually, most children would need some type of habit breaking appliance and the dentist can help with this aspect. Sometimes, the child might need help from an orofacial myologist and the dentist can help determine if the child needs this extra help to get rid of the habit. Regular dental checkups with the dentist are usually recommended to monitor the success of the treatment, offering encouragement and to guide and support the child to successfully eliminate the thumb or finger sucking habit.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY

It’s A Great Time To Buy A Rental Property However, before you make the leap into the world of investment real estate there are a few factors that you will need to know to prepare yourself: First and foremost “Do the math”. Once you have found the property, but before you buy, sit down and make a list of expenses and pencil out whether the rents will cover your expenses and leave a profit. To determine how much yearly rental income you are likely to receive, ask a local Realtor for the going rates, scan the classifieds and check online sources. Don’t forget to make sure you are comparing like for like properties, compare neighborhood, location, and square footage. When calculating the income, don’t forget to allow for vacancies and potential repairs. A good rule of thumb is to count ten months of rent for income and save two months for vacancy and repairs. Next, work out the expense side; include annual mortgage payments and operating expenses such as, insurance,

utilities, possible repairs and maintenance and landscaping. Subtract total expenses from total income and what’s left is called cash flow. If income is more than expenses, it is positive cash flow. If expenses are more than income, this produces negative cash flow. Generally positive cash flow is the most desirable; however future appreciation should also be considered. Choose tenants carefully. Whether you act as your own landlord or hire a property manager, it is important to follow a few basic steps. First, get a written application. These can be found at a local office supply store or online. Next, run a credit report showing all three major credit reporting agencies or opt for a more extensive service which cross references several databases. Check references and past landlords. Verify employment; the easiest way to do this is by asking for current check stubs. Make sure the lease will lay out rules about pets, smoking, rent due dates including any grace period and potential reasonable late fees. Please take note that if tenants already occupy the property when you buy, you may have to honor their existing lease terms. If the tenants are on a month to month basis, generally a sixty day notice is required. And above all, do not expose yourself to any violations of the federal fair housing laws which include but are not limited to race, color, religion,

nationality, sex, and familial status. In addition, your state or local municipality may have added others to the list, such as age and sexual orientation, so make sure to check with your local housing agency for a complete list. Distance yourself; one of the most common problems with becoming a landlord is maintaining a personal attachment to the property. Whether you are converting your current residence or buying a new property, it is important to remember that this is now a business transaction and treat it as such. If a renter fails to pay rent or damages the property, do not take it personally; it is not directed at you as an individual. By the same token, if a tenant is unable to pay, you can’t succumb to excuses or a hard luck story; this is your investment business. Therefore, IT IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY A RENTAL PROPERTY, with some rental properties returning over 12% net annually. Call or email today and get started building wealth.

FIX THE HOME – FIX THE LOAN

The 203(k) loan offers various benefits:

If you’ve been looking for a home lately, you might agree that it’s not uncommon to find nice homes on the market with a lot of missing parts. Homes have missing cabinets, kitchen sinks, carpets, water heaters, AC units, and light fixtures… all gone. Sometimes these homes aren’t just stripped, they’re destroyed. So when you show up as a prospective buyer, you either have to have a lot of cash to buy the home “AS IS”, or find another alternative. So that’s where the 203(k) Rehabilitation Loan comes in. You can walk into a destroyed gutted home and buy it. This renovation loan bypasses the need for a construction loan or a line of credit to

Properties that are sold “As-is” often would not qualify for a standard FHA loan. However, 203(k) loans are designed to improve, update, and modernize the home. In addition, they enable Borrowers to purchase foreclosure properties that require repairs. Most HUD Foreclosure properties could benefit from a 203(k) loan. Even if a home doesn’t need fixing, Borrowers can purchase a home and finance the cost of “modernization” or cosmetic repairs using this loan. The 203(k) loan allows for owner occupied 1-4 family dwellings as well as mixed-use properties. Where zoning allows, a 203(k) loan can be used to convert a single family dwelling to 2-4 units and vice versa. Another non-FHA great Renovation loan that works with 20% down is the

Removing Wallpaper The real secret to successful wallpaper removal is something that happens long before it’s time to remove the paper; it’s done when the paper is being hung. It’s called proper wall preparation! Unfortunately, chances are that you may not have owned the home when the paper was originally installed and that’s exactly why you’re removing the paper. Sorry to break the bad news, but red velvet flocked paper is out! Even if the walls were not prepared to your ultimate satisfaction, you’ll still be able to remove the paper. It just may mean a little more elbow grease and some additional repair work to the wall surface once the paper has been totally removed. Begin by performing the second most important secret to successful wallpaper removal; scoring or

breaking the surface of the paper to allow steam or a paste solvent to penetrate the face of the paper and weaken the bond. Although this can be accomplished in several ways, two of the most popular are with a scoring device designed specifically for this task or by using a hand saw. The teeth of the saw are run across the face of the paper and result in what an angry cat might do to a predator.

mixed with water and sprayed on with a pump garden sprayer. Be cautious not to use too much or you could soak the wallboard below and end up with more repair work and wall preparation than you bargained for. Regardless of which method you should use, start from a corner at the top and work your way down along vertical seams, letting gravity help peel back the paper. You may find that using a four to five inch putty knife can significantly improve your ability to separate the paper from the wall. After all of the paper has been removed, thoroughly clean up any paste and paste remover that may remain using a sponge and warm water. Once the wall has dried completely -- generally a day or two -- you can make repairs to the surface with drywall joint compound or another appropriate patching material. A little light sanding and you’ll be free of that purple paisley wallpaper and be ready to move on to new horizons.

The two most popular methods to remove wallpaper are using a steamer or with an enzyme based solution, which will neutralize the wallpaper paste. Either of these methods is acceptable and, under normal circumstances, will work quite well. A steamer, which can be rented from your local tool rental establishment or paint and wallpaper store, is inexpensive and easy to use. Steam is used to moisten the paste while not saturating the drywall or plaster below. The wallpaper stripping solution can be purchased from your local hardware store, home center, or paint and wallpaper specialty store. It comes as concentrated formula that is to be

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Their Table is Your Kitchen As I look out my window this morning at 6:30 am, I can already tell what a beautiful day it’s shaping up to be. The local fruit trees are starting to bloom and the hillsides are a luscious green thanks to the recent storms. What a great time to look in a business that pairs entertainment with a menu that leaves you breathless. Shirasoni brings the excitement of the familiar “Benihana” style restaurant right here in our home town. “Your table is our kitchen” headlines their ad, and for those of you fortunate enough to have visited Shirasoni, you know what this means. When I first walked in the door, I felt like I was in another world. The décor is fabulous; the full cocktail bar is a great place to gather and have your favorite martini and the dining area is full of tables adorned with chefs tossing hot grilled shrimp into their hats. I think the part I like most is the rhythmic sound of the knives hitting the grill as

they completely slice & dice a variety of fresh meats and vegetables in seconds, right before your eyes. You are seated in a horseshoe table with your private chef right in the middle and the grill within inches of your plate. The fragrance of the seasonings as they hit the entrees makes everyone’s mouth water. I especially like to watch the eyes of the children as they watch the show. Each chef with their own personality enhances the meal with their own performance of turning a grilled shrimp into a magic show. Listed as a Steakhouse, Teppanyaki and Sushi Bar, Shirasoni is an absolute delight for entire families, friends and even date night. The neat part about this restaurant is that you leave dinner knowing new friends, because you all sit together. Having lived in the Brentwood area most of my life, I have come to know quite a few people and it seemed I saw them all the night my husband and I went to dinner. It truly is one of our areas “Places to be!” They are open Monday through Friday from 11:30 to 2:30 for lunch. They serve dinner from 4:30-9:30 Monday through Thursday and 4:30-10:30 on Friday. They’re open all day Saturday from 12:00-10:30pm and Sunday from 12:00 to 9:30pm. They are located at 6367 Lone Tree Way and have plenty of parking.

From the moment you walk in the door to when you leave, you are treated with kindness and excellent service. Did I mention the great martinis? In addition, the beer is ice cold and the sake perfect! Another one of my favorites is the Sushi Bar. The real masters are preparing this wonderful addition to Shirasoni right before your eyes. There is something mystical about picking up chopsticks and tasting the artistic creations of the finest ingredients after dipping them into your own creation of soy and wasabi. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. You can also order from the Sushi menu at your dinner table, enjoying a little appetizer as they prepare your entrée. This counts two points in my book. So, Shirasoni, the Monthly Grapevine gives you five flying shrimp for bringing wonderful meals and a fabulous show to the East County. Your gracious hospitality comes from every member of your staff. This snoop is one of your regular customers and really enjoyed writing about your great restaurant. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
