WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

actually made an appointment to come in to the office.

Just a Beautiful Smile!

It truly is the top of the morning here in the farmlands, especially with St. Patrick’s Day only a day away. The fields are green, the baby corn stalks are popping through the freshly manicured fields and the sun is shining bright. Blessed by a bit of rain a few days ago, it is certainly a good start to a wonderful Spring. With that in mind, it is a great time to look in on a local business that can bring you a beautiful smile to enjoy the season.

Dr. Ricardo Busquets, Dr. Yi Chen Liu and their staff from Orthoworks Orthodontic Group make it a priority to provide you and your family with the highest quality of orthodontic care. On assignment, I gave the office a call to see just how much information I could good get on Invisalign, the new approach to straightening your teeth, especially since I have been considering this treatment for some time. I was treated so nice and

I learned that they are an Elite Preferred Provider for Invisalign which is qualified by expert treatment, years of experience, affordable pricing and utilization of the latest orthodontic technology. Each clear aligner is individually manufactured to the highest quality, designed for your teeth, and your teeth only. Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life, making it perfect for any lifestyle.

The really great part about Orthoworks is they care for the entire family and they provide a multitude of services other than Invisalign. Whether you are interested in whitening, braces, or orthodontic care, these doctors are worth considering, and they will discuss affordable financing during your free consultation. That scores extra with this snoop. Please go to their website at www.orthoworks.com to find out more about these doctors and the other locations throughout the entire Bay Area.

I think the part I liked best about Orthoworks is how they handled themselves with all my questions. At no time did I feel like I was just getting the

So, Dr. Busquets and Liu, this secret shopper gives Orthoworks and your great staff ten silver braces for being so kind and patient with me on the phone and bringing this high caliber of orthodontic care to East Contra Costa County. And to our readers, please be sure to check out the ad in this month’s Monthly Grapevine for a special offer of $300 off with free whitening Invisalign or Full Orthodontic Treatment Fee.

standard answer with the big push to get me in the office for the sales pitch. I know there are lots of places to choose from when considering orthodontic care for your kids and yourself, especially since it is a large commitment of time, energy and money. I guess that is why I too, have waited so long to make my decision to consider Invisalign. That being said, I must say I am finally very excited about my appointment to have the smile I have always wanted.

Quality, Custom Concrete FOR LESS!

HOME

ON THE HOUSE

Light & Ventilation Did you know that there are building code rules and regulations about how much natural light and natural ventilation must be present in each and every room of a home? Before your building department approves a house or an addition – or even a window change, certain light and ventilation rules must be met. Closets, bathrooms, hallways and garages don’t fall under these guidelines.

The required amount of light is literally double that of natural ventilation. Or stated another way, the amount of natural ventilation required is exactly half that of the natural light requirement. Have it your own way.

Why is this so important? Simple, natural light cuts down on the need for artificial illumination and therefore can save energy. In the winter warming sunlight can cut on heating costs. As for ventilation, keep in mind that Mother Nature’s breath reduces mildew and mold. And unless you live in downtown LA – outside air is usually quite medicinal (lots of oxygen) and refreshing.

2) Figuring ventilation is much easier.

Natural ventilation must equal 5 percent of the floor area – or exactly half the requirement for that of natural light. In our natural light example above the window also would qualify for minimum natural ventilation if half of it was operable.

No, the required window doesn’t need to be in the same exact room. For example: Let’s say we want a family room sliding glass door or window to provide the required light and ventilation for both the family room and the kitchen. When a window or door in one room will provide light and ventilation to another room then the area of both rooms must be calculated together as one and the window or door must qualify for the entire area. But, there is just one tiny, little hitch. There must be a big opening between the two rooms. And it can’t be just a door way. The opening between the two rooms must equal at least 50 percent of the area of the wall space that separates the rooms. In other words, if the separating wall is 8 feet high and 11 feet long (88 square feet), then the opening in the wall must be at least 44 square feet. Now you see why architects get so much money. Enough confusing stuff! If you have a question simply bring the details to your local building department and ask what you can do – before you spend the money doing it wrong.

Although handled as separate issues, you can see that natural light and natural ventilation actually have a very specific relationship to one another inasmuch as calculation rules are concerned.

Light also has something to do with how a room feels. Giant windows bring the outside inside. They give a room a feeling of greatness – as big as the all outdoors.

Inside colors are warmed up by outside

CORNEJO’S

Here are the rules: For Natural Light 1) A given room must have a window or glass door that is sized to equal or at least ten percent of the floor area of the room. So, if a room is 10 feet wide x 12 feet long, then the room area would be 120 square feet and the minimum size of the window in that room would have to be 12 square feet. A three foot by four foot window would provide 12 square feet of natural light to the room – again, the required minimum. Pretty simple really.

For every 10 feet of floor area you need one foot of natural light area.

light and make the room feel homier.

Ever get locked in a closet when you were a kid? How would you like it if all of the rooms in your home were like that? If you are a sadist – don’t answer that question.

The texture of fabrics and wood in the home are enhanced by natural light – especially wall texture. Natural light enhances the entire home – color and texture definitely are affected.

The bad side: When it comes to windows and glass doors providing light and ventilation, there are minimums. This is confused by the fact that when it comes to energy efficiency and glass there are maximums. That’s a whole other column. Suffice to say that when it comes to light and ventilation there are the minimums we have related, but when it comes to windows, there are equally as many rules about maximum amounts allowed. Again, always check with your building department when planning any construction.

LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL PRIMUS

like weeds in the spring!

In addition to store fronts in strip malls, there are a growing number of internet lenders making payday loans with similar interest rates. With an internet loan, the borrower authorizes the lender to deduct the payment directly from his or her account in 14 days.

BANKRUPTCY GETS RID OF PAYDAY LOANS Many people wonder, what is a payday loan? Payday lenders offer small, short term loans with little or no credit check or income verification. They are usually small shops in strip malls. Typically the loans are for about $300 and are due in 14 days. Generally, the borrower writes a post-dated check for $300 but gets only $250, and in just two weeks the full $300 is due. The borrower can pay about $50 to extend the loan for another two weeks or pay the full $300. If the borrower fails to pay either the $50 or the full $300, then the payday lender deposits the postdated check. These loans are easy and convenient but carry interest rates ranging from 100% to 500% on an annualized basis. How can that be legal? Payday lenders exploit loopholes in the usury laws so that even a 500% interest rate is legal. With interest rates like that, it’s no wonder payday lenders are popping up

Most people who borrow from a payday lender have been turned down for traditional loans and only out of desperation take a payday loan. Too often, the person takes a second payday loan to pay the first and begins a downward cycle. Like quicksand, the payday loan cycle is nearly impossible to get out of. Soon the person – in dire financial straits before the first payday loan – has several loans with payments due every two weeks. Often the payments are taken directly out of the borrower’s bank account on payday, hence the name.

As the cycle continues, the borrower goes deeper and deeper in debt. Many borrowers will have 5 or more payday loans, usually from different lenders.

Soon some of the post-dated checks begin to bounce, marking the beginning of the end. As the checks bounce, the borrower incurs bounced check charges,

further compounding the problem. Often on the verge of eviction due to unpaid rent, the borrower asks “How can this craziness end?” The answer might be bankruptcy. A bankruptcy is a federal court order that gives people a “fresh start” by forgiving debts including payday loans.

Who’s Who... in East County

In the late 80’s, Jeff McThorn, owner of Delta Watercraft worked at a Personal Water Craft (PWC) repair shop and that experience plus his love of water and riding PWC inspired him to open his own business in 1998. One of Jeff’s favorite things to do with friends and family is being on the water and he feels very lucky to have been able to turn his hobby into his work.

At Delta Watercraft, Jeff is very experienced and has all the tools and diagnostic equipment to complete any type of repair.

In addition, he offers excellent service and quality work at a fraction of other’s prices. Jeff says that many customers come to him after paying almost double at other places for the same work, only to find out they have been over charged.

They offer factory scheduled service and maintenance, engine and supercharger rebuilding, jet pump and driveline repair and performance modifications, parts, accessories, fiberglass and gel-coat repair.They also have Waverunner and boats for rent.

They also offer boat and PWC repairs. It is Jeff’s goal for all customers to leave understanding what work was done and knowing they got a top quality job at a fair price. So, give Delta Watercraft a call - you’ll be glad you did!
