TRAVEL TIME
The Norwegian Pearl will be doing a cruise on May 5, 2013 from Los Angeles to Vancouver and it is a 7 day cruise. Stops include San Francisco, Astoria, Victoria and Nanaimo, both in British Columbia. Balcony rooms start at $911.47 and that price is inclusive of all fees and taxes.
Greetings and welcome to May! And that of course means summer is not that far away.
But in the spirit of FREESTYLE CRUISING, you will also find out that if you don’t want to do anything, then so be it. It’s a case of do what you want, when you want and if you want. Does that sound enticing? How can you beat 2 wonderful, relaxing and fun days at sea on the Pacific Ocean? And yes, it’s not unusual to see sea life out there in those wonderful blue waters.
On May 6, 2013 the Norwegian Sun will also sail from Los Angeles to Vancouver with exactly the same itinerary as the Pearl does above. Rates on that cruise for a balcony room begin at $991.18.
We want to share with you the magnificent world of coastal cruising and of course we mean on the West Coast. It’s close to home, very little travel by air and all in the same time zone.
NCL has one of the youngest eets in the industry and wins awards for their service from many different sources. And let’s not forget FREESTYLE CRUISING. They have the market cornered with that I’ll do it my way anytime and anywhere and anyplace attitude. So let’s sail with NCL on a coastal cruise in 2013.
On May 8, 2013 the Norwegian Jewel will do this same cruise with balcony rates beginning at $962.54.
Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) is your most current choice to make with FREESTYLE CRUISING for absolutely everyone.
Just added is the 7 day coastal for September 6, 2013. It’s a southbound cruise beginning in Vancouver and terminating in Los Angeles. Stops include Nanaimo, Victoria, Astoria and San Francisco. You balcony room is only $946.73
It’s often been said that there is something for everyone, and NCL means what they say. All will have a great time with totally wonderful service in every way while on board an NCL ship.
And if you are a family or group together, we’ll get you connecting rooms together for the party atmosphere that only comes with the fresh air of the ocean and its breezes. It’s time to CRUISE LIKE A NORWEGIAN.
And let us not forget, there is nothing better than to have a couple of AT SEA days where you actually can see what ships life is all about. You will see there is more for you on the ship than you can believe.
Check out the details of the various coastals below. And then call us to book your room today. Space is limited and is always subject to availability with all rates quoted as per person. We have special group rates for these cruises and let’s take a look, shall we?

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?
haircuts can be seen from the parking lot with its great Lollipop logo on the sign.
Haircuts for the Young
As I entered the front door, I felt like a kid again. The bright bold colors and reception area, filled with fun stuff to do,v is a great way to welcome the youngest client for their first haircut. I was greeted by one of the stylists with a great big smile and cordial hello. I told her I was researching the place for a friend and was really impressed with the décor. The place was full and every one of the kids was having a great time. I highly recommend that you visit in person or go to the website to check out these neat styling chairs that look like cars at www. lollipophaircutshop.com. I would have loved this place as a kid.
Here it is the second week of April and the Easter bunny managed to leave eggs outside on a glorious sunshiny Sunday and Bubby Watson scored the green jacket at the Masters. The farmlands are popping up the first sight of our famous corn and the cherry blossoms have almost disappeared. With spring break almost over, it is a great time to get ready for warmer weather and family get-togethers. That being said, there is nothing better than a great haircut to get you started. On assignment, I am off to visit one of East County’s finest hair cut establishments for the younger generation. Remembering my youth, I always dreaded that day because it seemed like they just chopped it off and it was always too short. Lollipop Haircut Shop is the greatest idea, well, since the lollipop itself. Located on Lone Tree Way a couple of doors down from the Goodwill Store, this wonderland for
I think the best part of Lollipops is the cleanliness. Everything is bright and cheery and immaculate. The styling stations are so cute with four different car designs to choose from. The kids that were there getting haircuts ALL had smiles on their faces and were enjoying the experience. They have a Baby’s 1st Haircut Package where you receive a certificate, photo and lock of hair for memories that last forever and every customer gets a free lollipop. BRILLIANT! They also have a variety of professional products and a line just for kids. How
cool is that? You can either walk in or make an appointment and they are open Monday through Saturday and three Sundays a month. They open at 10 am weekdays and 9 am on Saturday. They also do buzz cuts, bangs and hair wash. Imagine being able to watch television in a miniature race car and get your haircut from a really nice lady. Then get a lollipop too! Although it appears to be just for kids, these gals also do adult haircuts. Now that is a great plus! You can bring your kids for an enjoyable experience and get your hair done at the same time. And if you’re good, you too can get a lollipop. So, Carolyn, Clara & Adela, owners of Lollipop Haircut Shop, this secret shopper gives you, ten cherry flavored (those are the red ones and my favorite) lollipops for bringing this delightful business to our county and taking such wonderful care of our kids. Your staff and your salon are absolutely wonderful and highly regarded by all who patronize you. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
Lollipop Haircut Shop is located at 6271 Lone Tree Way in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-240-1337 or visit them at www.lollipophaircutshop.com.

HEALTH
FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Unfortunately, the public is largely uninformed about the serious consequences of sports trauma, as well as the methods of prevention. Sports injuries can range from the considerable pain and expense in replacing a lost tooth to the greater impairment and cost resulting from a concussion that can end a sports career. Mouth guards help in the following ways:
Dental Injuries Dental injuries are the most frequent facial injuries, and usually happen due to sports activities. The injury may range from fractured teeth, fractured jaw, and injury to the nerve or loss of teeth. Sports injuries can cause concussion, which can happen due to an impact to the base of the skull via a blow to the chin.
• Prevent bruising and laceration of the soft tissues of the lips and cheek. • Prevent tooth fractures and dislocations.
In these types of injuries, wearing a mouth guard could have a significant preventative role. It has been reported that mouth guards relieve the stress concentrated on the front teeth in a frontal collision by absorbing and dispersing some of the shock energy, quickly stopping the vibration of the upper teeth. Custom fitted mouth guards reduce the incidence of concussion as well as dental and jaw injuries.
• Opposing teeth are protected from contacting each other. • Protect against jaw fracture. • Prevent or reduce nerve injuries. • Prevent neck injuries. • Helps athletes to feel more confident. Every year hospitals in the United States see thousands of cases of lost
or damaged teeth as a result of sports injuries. An athlete is 60 times more likely to damage the teeth when not wearing a protective mouth guard. Mouth guards and face guards prevent an estimated 200,000 high school and college football injuries. The most serious and life threatening sports injury is concussion to the brain. The total cost to replace a lost tooth can be 20 times more than the cost of a custom made mouth guard. Mouth guards can be custom made in the dental office. Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan D.D.S. Dr. Sue has fourteen years of experience in dentistry. Graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry and was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is a active member of ADA, CDA and CCDS.

PRUDENTIAL REALTY
How Important Is A Home Inspection? Whether buying or selling, a home inspection is always a good course of action. A home inspection is a visual examination of both the physical structure and major systems of the entire home including: walls, ceilings, oors, decks, exterior covering, the roof, foundation, insulation and ventilation, plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning. It is not an appraisal to validate the value of a home, nor a pass/fail exam. A thirdparty inspector will give a report on the physical condition and suggest repairs or improvements to the house. For buyers, a home inspection is performed during the inspection period in the sales contract. If a serious problem is found, it provides a tool for negotiation or reason to cancel the purchase.
More often, inspections reveal less serious defects that aren’t enough to warrant canceling the transaction. However, knowing about these minor problems can prevent major disasters down the road or aid in the long term maintenance.
A pre-inspection can also serve as a great marketing tool. Having a preinspection report available for buyers gives them a clearer picture of the condition of the home and shows a willingness of full disclosure on the seller’s part.
Another advantage to having a home inspection is it offers buyers an opportunity to become familiar with their new home and learn about maintenance to help in its upkeep. It is always recommended that buyers be present during the inspection. This allows them to observe the inspection ask questions about the condition of the home and receive an objective opinion.
If there are major problems found during the pre-inspection, it gives the seller an opportunity to disclose the condition up-front, making it less likely for the buyer to pull out of the deal or try to renegotiate the price. Knowing the true condition of a home can bring peace of mind to buyers and sellers; and be one less hurdle in the home buying and selling process. Ask your real estate sales professional for a list of certified independent home inspectors in your area.
For sellers, conducting a home inspection (or pre-inspection) before listing their homes puts the control back into their hands. By having a pre-inspection, the seller can help eliminate any surprise findings after an offer has been made. The seller can make repairs before placing the home on the market and possibly even increase the value of the home.

LOAN GUY LOGIC
be used for either your down-payment OR your closing costs. So if digging up a down payment was a challenge, now that same $300,000 loan requires only that you come in with .05% which is $1500.00. As with any DAP (Downpayment Assistance Program) there are requirements:
Just When You Thought Loans Got Harder‌ They Didn’t. If you haven’t heard of (CHDAP) yet, then we need to talk. It stands for California Homebuyer’s Downpayment Assistance Program. And if you thought they were kidding about getting into a home with just your tax return, well here’s how it’s done. Most of us are aware that the standard FHA loan requires the Buyer to have no less than 3.5% down. So on a $300,000 purchase; you need to have $10,500. But if that sum of cash chews up all your curtain money, you might consider finding 3% somewhere else and keeping your money to spend as you wish. That’s where CHDAP comes in. The CHDAP provides a deferred-payment junior loan for up to 3% of the purchase price (or appraised value) whichever is less, to
• Be a ďŹ rst-time homebuyer (Have not owned in last 3 years). • Occupy the Property as your primary residence. • Complete an Education and Counseling course.
The bottom line is this: If you’ve been waiting to save enough money to buy a home, building a downpayment truly isn’t necessary. Have enough time on your job, satisfactory credit, and enough income to afford the payment. If you do have 3.5% down, these added monies can be used to reduce or pay the upfront MIP with added money to apply towards a down payment. Whatever way we choose, I encourage you to call me to talk about how this program can work for you.
• Meet certain income limits. • Meet the requirements for the Mortgage Insurer. The great thing about this 3% money is that it’s provided in the form of a “silent 2nd mortgageâ€?. That means that payments are “deferredâ€? until you refinance or sell the property. Unlike most other DAP or Downpayment Assistance Programs, it does not require participation from the Seller. If you can negotiate for the Seller to pay your closing costs, you can see how getting

Q&A Insulating Your Closet Q - My remodeling contractor didn’t insulate the closet space to the attic addition. I assume he wanted to cut costs, and he figured the air in the closet space would be its own insulation for the main attic room. However, I cannot store plastics or aerosols or sensitive equipment in there due to the extreme temperature. Also, there is no access to the other side of the closet walls in the roof area. Can you tell me how I might insulate the inside of the closet wall? - Henry
insulation. The recommended R-value for walls in attics is R-11, but we suggest R-30. R-30 doesn’t cost much more than R-11, but the resultant insulative value is amazing. Use craft-backed insulation the kind with paper backing is best. Place the papered side toward the inside of the home. This will help reduce condensation at the interior side of the wall. Also, it would be a good idea to consider leaving the hole to do the insulation work for future access to the attic. When cutting the access hole be careful to make perfectly horizontal cuts (a razor knife works great) at the center point of two adjacent wall studs.
A - Our initial reaction is to suggest that you ask your remodeling contractor how he intends to resolve the uncomfortable state that he left you in. In the event that he is not available, we have a solution for you.
Perpendicular-horizontal cuts, making up the last two sides of the opening, can be backed with solid wood blocks and used in conjunction with the half-exposed wall studs to create a solid base to hold the previously removed wall board. If you are careful not to damage the piece of wallboard during removal you can use four screws to replace it, saving the cost of purchasing new wall board. - James and Morris Carey

on. How would you like that feature in a closet? All you need is a spring-loaded jamb switch and some basic carpentry and electrical skills. The automatic light switch is mortised (in a chiseled notch) into the hinge side of the closet doorjamb. When the door opens, the light turns on, and when the door closes, the light turns off. Power has to be run from the light to the switch. Many times, removing the door casing does the trick. Tools needed are a drill, chisel and screwdriver. When wiring it, the hot wire (most often black) runs to the switch then back to the light fixture. Electrical supply houses sell jamb switches as do hardware stores and home centers. If you’re unsure about either the carpentry or the electrical work, consult a pro. Then - as with a refrigerator - it’s door open, light on, door closed, light off. And that’s the On The House tip for today.

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. They also have Waverunner and boats for rent. 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!

TIMELY FEATURE ARTICLE
Does Your Car Have Bad Breath? Do you open the door of your car and get knocked over by the smell that wafts through your nostrils? If your car has been gripped by a particularly pungent and unpleasant odour, it can be hard to get it out. Here is how you can get those smells out of your car forever. Know The Smell To Get Rid Of It! You need to understand that smell comes from one basic thing – moisture. Moisture creates mould and mildew. Humidity in the car will ensure that the smell from mould and mildew will linger for a long time. “Smell The Smell” Part Determine how deep the smell is. Carpet smells can be from the padding beneath. While surface smells can be easily exterminated, don’t make it worse by soaking the entire area and spreading
it deeper and wider. If the smell is deep, carefully soak only the affected area with something to kill mold/mildew and neutralize smells. Dealing With Spills And Pet Smells, Urines Etc. If there is a spill or if your pet has just messed up in your car, contrary to the basic cleaning methodology; DO NOT SOAK THE ENTIRE AREA WITH SOAPY WATER! This will only drive most smells deeper (and abet them to linger longer!!) Use a cloth or a sponge to soak up as much as possible. Do this by placing towels over the area and stepping on the towels with your shoes, or pressing with your hands. Let the area dry. Later, treat or clean the area with a cloth dipped in soapy solution and wipe dry again. If odour persists, you could just add some talcum powder on it. The Soapy Villain Don’t even think about sloshing your interiors with buckets of soapy solution (unless you want your car to smell of rotten eggs). It is one of the main reasons for a sour smelling interior and getting rid of the smell becomes very difficult.
SUPER TIP! Feeling good to be in a car is very much an essential part of driving itself. So, ensure that your car smells good! A pleasant fragrance on our way to work would help in stimulating and enhancing your alertness and your aptitude for work. Ambi Pur Car is an Innovative Car Perfume that acts on your senses and adds the finishing touch to the ‘good’ driving experience. It comes in three flavours, Aqua, Vanilla Bouquet and After Tobacco! Treat Your Car With Affection This may sound like an exaggeration, but your car should be treated as a part of your family. For you can actually prolong its life by treating it with affection. Decorating the insides with personal items can do this. A personal touch can create a less stressful environment, which can be of great help when dealing with rush-hour traffic. A cool head means that you won’t be driving aggressively, thereby reducing the risk to yourself and others. Not only that you’re also not burdening the engine with the pressures of speeding, swerving and sudden stopping.
