Book Buster’s Bookkeeping Service Don’t have the time or expertise to do accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and tax reporting yourself? Book Busters can help! Located in Brentwood, Book Busters’ services include in-house bookkeeping, onsite bookkeeping, QuickBook setup and training, QuickBook consulting, QuickBook cleanup, payroll processing and tax reporting. They can also handle your W-2’s, 1099’s, Sales Tax reporting, and Accounts Payables/Receivables. Outsourcing these tasks is cost effective, a time saver, and can be very liberating for the business owner. As your bookkeeping partner, they will take care of these time-consuming duties. With Book Busters on the job, you can leave your worries in their capable hands. Owner, Darci Posch’s previous education and experience helped prepare her to own Book Busters Bookkeeping Service. She landed her first bookkeeping job 14 years ago while attending University of Nevada, Reno. During that time, she was working as a vault teller at

a local bank, handling over a million dollars a day in cash for Walmart with a PERFECT balancing record! When asked what inspired her to become a business owner, Darci says just two words, “My mom.” Her mother was a single parent and “She raised my brother and me while struggling financially, yet working harder than anyone I know. She always encouraged me to strive for excellence and independence,” said Darci. This independent spirit gave Darci the resolution needed to become a business owner and her quest for excellence is apparent to her customers and those who know her. It’s easy for business owners to get sidetracked doing administrative tasks instead of seeing and working with their customers. They can get caught up in bookkeeping and other administrative areas, rather than spending the necessary time it takes to work on their business. What they need is to get back to the reason they started their business in the first place. When they do that, they make their business and their lives better. At Book Busters, they want clients to walk away with a sense of relief, like a weight has been lifted from their shoulders. Knowing they are giving clients the freedom to not be stuck doing their bookkeeping after running their business all day,

gives Darci great satisfaction. They are committed to you and your business. They get to know you and your business and how it operates and Darci goes on to say, “We love to simplify our client’s lives through new technology, like QuickBooks Online, Online banking and with new and improved software.” What sets Book Busters apart from some other bookkeepers is that they have an office with regular business hours. In addition, they are certified Intuit QuickBooks ProAdvisors, trained to deliver great client service. Getting referrals from existing clients for new business is one of the most rewarding part of Darci’s day. Hearing the words, “You come highly recommended by…” just can’t be beat! Book Busters has won the Best Of Brentwood Gold award multiple years, supports local Chamber of Commerce and is a member of The Delta Divas Networking Group. Future plans include growing the company through new clients, additional staff and specialized bookkeeping services, such as working with non-profit clients and implementing and promoting cloudbased accounting solutions. Book Busters Bookkeeping Service

can be contacted at 925-634-8682 or visit them at www.bookbusters.net.

July 2014

Book Busters Bookkeeping Service For their dedication to superior client service, this month’s Pick of the Vine is Book Busters Bookkeeping Service. Owner, Darci Posch fully understands the difficulties and the rewards of running a business and takes deep satisfaction in helping business owners keep their financial records in order, save money, avoid mistakes, and free up more time to focus on managing their businesses, and less time on their books. Book Busters prides itself on the quality of service they provide to clients. That philosophy has served them well in the past and is an indication of future success. Give Book Busters a call so you can get back to doing what you enjoy best - running your business. The Monthly Grapevine Pick of the Vine award recognizes local businesses with an exemplary reputation for customer service and/or community commitment. If you would like to nominate a business for this award, please visit our web site at www.monthlygrapevine.com for more information.

TRAVEL TIME

honored that such an esteemed group of travelers recognizes our efforts to continually enhance the Holland America Line premium cruise experience.”

Holland America Cruise Line This month we want to introduce you to Holland America Cruise Line. Simply put it is indeed a Signature Of Excellence. World Ocean & Cruise Liner Society (WOCLS) members named Holland America Line the Best Overall Cruise Value 2013 for the 21st consecutive year in the publication’s annual Best Cruise Value Awards. Holland America Line also received top marks in the High-Deluxe, 5-Star-Plus, Large Ships category in recognition of its premium cruise experience. “Everyone at Holland America Line is proud to continue to win this award year after year,” said Richard Meadows, executive vice president of marketing, sales and guest programs for Holland America Line. “The cruise industry is continuously evolving, and we are

WOCLS members are experienced cruisers who take an average of two cruises a year. The society reviews all cruise lines annually, and in its monthly Ocean & Cruise News publication noted, “When we consider the consistency of the product over the years, something that is hard to achieve, the cruise line in 2013 that we continue to feel offers the very best cruise value, to the most cruise passengers, and is therefore awarded our Best Overall Cruise Value award for 2013 is Holland America Line.” “They (Holland America Line) still provide their passengers with an added class and sophistication and numerous small touches that are either overlooked by other cruise lines or have been eliminated as a result of cost-cutting measures,” wrote Thomas Cassidy, editor of Ocean & Cruise News. “More reasonable pricing should not mean less quality service and touches.” WOCLS cited Holland America Line’s “… Signature of Excellence upgrades,

the immaculate appearance of its ships and its friendly and professional Indonesian and Filipino crew, the extra effort to properly train and supervise its staff, the more extensive choice of dinner menus in its main restaurant, variety of alternate restaurants and all the little extras such as canvas tote bags, hot hors d’oeuvres at cocktail time, chilled beer glasses and later lunch hours when in port” as contributing factors to the line’s selection as Best Overall Cruise Value of 2013. For the same prices, and often less, than those being charged by other cruise lines Holland America continues to provide its passengers with an Old World ambiance, friendly yet excellent service, fine food and many extra touches that passengers do not expect and do not get on other lines within this category. See our ad in this month’s Grapevine for what we can offer you as a special introduction to Holland America. Getaway Cruises n’ Tours can be

Fluoride Toothpaste For Children Fluoride toothpaste has been recommended for more than 50 years to prevent and control dental caries. More than 25 percent of children have or had dental caries by the time they enter kindergarten. The use of fluoride toothpaste in infants and children has been changed during this period of time in an effort to maximize the caries prevention and to minimize the risk of dental fluorosis. Children younger than 5 years tend to swallow toothpaste while brushing. Older children are more able to spit out toothpaste consistently after brushing. Many researchers have found that brushing with fluoride toothpaste reduces dental caries in school children but fluoride toothpaste use at an early age can be associated with dental fluorosis. This depends on

the number of times the child brushed his or her teeth with the toothpaste, the amount of toothpaste dispensed every time the child brushes and the fluoride concentration of the tooth paste. Children are also exposed to fluoride through consumption of food and beverages. Before starting fluoride therapy in children, whether it be fluoride supplements, toothpaste or professional topical applications, all children should undergo a caries risk assessment by the dentist and then get recommendations accordingly to prevent or control the dental caries or cavities. This is an important, critical step in developing a personalized prevention plan. The best predictor of a person developing dental cavities in the future is the presence of dental caries. Most 1 year old children do not have dental caries and it is difficult to predict which of these children will become the approximately 40 percent of children who experience dental caries in their baby teeth. Therefore, considering the best available evidence and the continued

high caries rate in children, the American Dental Association currently advises parents and caregivers to brush with water, and to consult with a dentist before using fluoride toothpaste for children younger than two years. Use of a pea sized amount of fluoride toothpaste is recommended for children from two to six years of age. The ADA also recommends for children younger than 3 years to begin brushing teeth as soon as they come into the mouth by using fluoride toothpaste no more than a smear or the size of a grain of rice. Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day as directed by the dentist. Children 3 to 6 years of age should be supervised while brushing to minimize the swallowing of toothpaste. It is also important to keep up with regular checkups with the dentist to prevent and to protect childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teeth from getting cavities.

TIMELY FEATURE

Local Wakesurfer Vanessa Vincent An accomplished athlete and brand ambassador with over 10 years of brand and international product representation, 28-year-old Vanessa Vincent possesses a look that conveys both athleticism and feminine beauty. For those who are unfamiliar with wakesurfing, it is a newer sport that is unlike the traditional boating sports that require continuous tether to the boat. You start by being pulled up and as the wake is formed, you can release all connection to the boat and throw the rope aside. The wake, like that of an ocean wave, renders sufficient means to propel surfers of any level. Down the river, lake and or even the ocean, you will be propelled along with progression, enabling you to air out and do many tricks, as seen with other board related sports.

Hailing from near Discovery Bay, CA, Vanessa can most often be found training with her Centurion teammates in the Delta, one of the West Coast’s most popular wakeboarding and wakesurfing destinations. She is not only committed to her progression as an inland wakesurfer, but being a creature of salt water, also enjoys ocean surfing. Vanessa finds the ocean waves to be her absolute happy place. When she is not in the water you will find her practicing yoga where she finds her connection with her mind and body. A relative newcomer to the sport of wakesurfing, Vanessa has made some big accomplishments in a very short amount of time. Most notably is her World Championship in 2012. Many sponsors took notice of her meteoric rise in the sport and endorsement opportunities soon followed. Sponsors have recognized that Vanessa’s drive to succeed combined with strong personal ethics are just a few of her tremendous attributes. Distinct features set in leadership, attitude and a commitment to progression in her surfing has allowed Vanessa

to bring the perfect storm of beauty, professionalism, athleticism and delivery to all of her sponsors and their product recognition and exposure. Her accomplishments are many with the most recent being 2014: Supreme Wake Surf Championship 2nd place, 2014: West Coast Open 3rd place, 2013: My Wake Championship 2nd place, 2013: World Series of Wake Surfing Finalist, 2013: My Wake Global Competition 1st Place. Even with a very busy work and family life, Vanessa finds time to travel domestically and internationally, representing her sponsors in trade shows, boat shows, contests and personal appearances. She is a regular in front of the camera where she models for Centurion, Twisted Candi and professional photographers, Art Torres, Rodrigo Denoso, and Springbok Designs, to name a few. Her passion and love for people make it exciting to travel and educate others. It’s never work for Vanessa to make someone smile. To learn more about Vanessa Vincent visit www.vanessawakesurf.com

REALTOR IN MOTION

Let the Buyer’s Market Begin Are you ready? I ask that question a lot lately as many Buyers reach out to me to find them their first or next home. Getting ready means having a Lender approve your purchasing power, collecting statements of cash on hand, and anticipating that once your offer gets accepted, you’ll be a homeowner in 30 days. The good news about this market as we move into the summer months in East County is that more homes are on the market today, from Bay Point to Discovery Bay, than in many months prior. 534 detached homes, to be exact, up another 7 homes today. Ask And You Might Receive As a prospective Buyer, more homes on the market is good news. Once again, we’re seeing homes with

OFF 10W% ith this ad. ply.

Restrictions ap

fewer offers and Sellers motivated to give back something to make the transaction work. The best offer for any REALTOR® is the one in their hand. A ready, willing, and able Buyer who is prepared to negotiate terms will usually get into contract; it’s simply a question of terms at this point. As Seller’s find their homes staying on the market longer, due to a shift in what Buyers are willing to pay, they have little choice but to either reduce the sales price or make concessions to seal the deal. Where previously Buyers with little or no closing costs or even down payments could not buy, in certain price ranges, asking for thousands of dollars in credits is working. Last week, a couple came to me asking help to find a home because their lease had expired and the Landlord would not renew. Not wanting to rent again, we hit the streets looking for a home. In less than a week, we found a Seller not only willing to fix any and all the issues with the house, but provide the Buyer with several thousand dollars back to reduce costs as well. This was fortunate in that they had little money saved up, but concessions made all the difference.

While Buyers will always make multiple offers on the “Shiny Pennies” out there, if you scour the MLS daily and work hand-in-hand with your REALTOR®, you will get your home. A good Agent knows the process and how to prepare an offer that has a better fighting chance than the competition. If you’re sitting comfortably on the fence right now, it’s time to jump. A good Agent can determine your buying power in 12 minutes and get you started looking at homes in 15. ARE YOU READY?

One Tool Does it All One of the fun things about being home improvement reporters is that we have the opportunity to test all types of home improvement products, everything from appliances to plumbing fixtures to cleaning products and more. Manufacturers send us their latest and greatest in hopes that we will offer a favorable review. Of all the products we review, our favorite category is tools. You name it; compressors, nail guns, drills, saws, we love playing with, sorry, “reviewing” tools of every kind. This time around we’ve had a chance to review a new and unique multi-tool. What makes a multi-tool so special is that it can plunge-cut directly into the face of a surface without causing a ragged edge. Want to cut out a perfectly square piece of sheetrock to install a cut-in electric box? Want to cut through nails to remove a piece of interior or exterior trim, without damaging the surrounding area? Want to detail sand a piece of furniture for refinishing? A multi-tool is the answer.

Thus far, we have given you a basic insight into what all multi-tools will do. Thus, to this point, one would assume that all multitools are basically alike. But this is where Ridgid leaves the rest behind. The Ridgid multi-tool is unbelievably cool. It leads the pack. When we use it on a job site, the other workers are always amazed at how different it is from all the rest. We’re talking about Ridgid Tool Company’s very unique multi-tool, the JobMax. A typical multi-tool is a cucumber shaped oscillating motor with its operating tip located at the end where various blades can be attached for cutting and sanding. The JobMax doesn’t end with cutting and sanding. That’s because the cutting/ sanding head can be interchanged with a myriad of other attachments. They include: a jigsaw attachment, a reciprocating saw attachment, a right angle drill/driver attachment, an auto hammer attachment, and an electric ratchet attachment. The accessories run about $60 each and having them all allows both handyman and contractor alike to eliminate the need for several bulky tools. Simply slip the needed attachment onto the power handle, press the two-finger, variable speed trigger and go! The tool has an on-board light (our weak old eyes

really appreciate that) and the tool is amazingly powerful at 3 amps. We routinely cut wallboard, plywood, dimensional lumber and nails and we love how easy it is to change attachments, no tools necessary. Press two recessed buttons at once and the head is released from the power handle. Next, simply snap on the next attachment. Each attachment can be snapped into place in any of for directional positions allowing better access to the work. Believe us when we say that this particular feature is invaluable. It allows us to be able to see the cut line and the blade at the same time and from any position (above, below, to the side) while having the on-board light shining directly onto the work AND with the trigger in a comfortable position. When we were kids, our dad had a Ridgid hand operated pipe threader, which we inherited. There is nothing like having a quality tool that will last for generations. Being brothers, there are times when minor arguments do occur. This happens most often when both of us need to use the JobMax at the same time. He should buy his own JobMax. Don’t you agree?

Who’s Who... in East County

Due to drought conditions, we are all experiencing the additional price hikes of our produce. Local personal fitness trainer and nutrition consultant, Susan Emmett, has a simple Eco-friendly solution with the aeroponic Tower Garden by Juice Plus. Growing your own lettuce, tomatoes, beans, zucchini, strawberries and herbs vertically with the Tower Garden has made gardening easier, since there's no soil, weeding, tilling or kneeling required. No snails, herbicides and pesticides either! The Tower Garden doesn't take a lot of space either. You can grow twenty plants in just 2.5 feet x 2.5 feet of space on your patio, deck, porch, balcony, backyard terrace or rooftop. Nothing is more simple than eating locally from Tower to table. Plus, it's so delicious and fresh! Susan’s grandchildren love planting a variety of produce seeds in rock wool, covering them up with vermiculite and placing them in the starter kit tray with water. They place them by the window indoors until they are a few inches tall then take them outdoors to place in the Tower Garden’s slotted black cages that the roots will grow through. The tub of the garden holds twenty gallons of water that's recycled up through the top to water all the plants with a timer every fifteen minutes. Nutrients are added to the water for plant growth and ph levels are checked weekly. The Tower Garden uses one tenth of the water and land required by traditional growers and the produce grows three times faster. This efficient aeroponic growing system allows you to grow massive amounts of produce in a tiny amount of space in about half the time of traditional soil based agriculture.
