Cocina Medina Before opening his own restaurant, Rafael Medina worked his way up from dishwasher to restaurant management. He made sure he learned all he could so he would be able to use that knowledge one day when he opened his own business. Today, Rafael and his wife, Alie own Cocina Medina. Eighteen years of experience in the restaurant industry has helped Rafael to build his business with a strong foundation in customer service. The Medina’s believe that customer service is number one and the best thing about their business is their customers. In addition, their restaurant is a true family operated business, with several family members working with them to bring you a premier Mexican restaurant that is recognized for its quality food and excellent service. At Cocina Medina, all the food is made from the freshest ingredients. Savory smells of Mexican cuisine waft in from the kitchen where huge pots are jam-packed with refried beans, fluffy rice and chicken tortilla soup, which simmers slowly on the restaurant’s large stove. Freshly made tortillas are packed with carnitas, steak ranchero and tequila shrimp and served with fresh guacamole, sour cream and Pico de Gallo. Taco salad shells sit upturned
waiting to be filled with a choice of shredded chicken, beef, pork or shrimp and cheese, beans and lettuce. Most meals are accompanied by fresh guacamole, sour cream, salsa and warm tortilla chips.
Whether you dine with family, a group of friends or on a date, you’ll enjoy the beautifully decorated dining room or enjoy your fabulous meal out on the patio under the stars.
Additional specialties of the house are authentic Cancun grilled steak and shrimp or Tijuana grilled chicken and shrimp fajitas. From their Classic Combos, choose Chile Colorado, which is, shredded beef covered in deep rich Colorado sauce or Chili Verde (green chili) shredded Pork with salsa Verde. All combination meals are served with rice, beans and tortillas. This includes sizzling hot beef and chicken fajitas, which are customer favorites, while at the same time other classic choices like burritos, tacos, enchiladas and tamales are also huge crowd pleasers.
Been going here since they opened. Family owned/operated. Very nice place. Reasonable pricing, fresh food (and quick!). Don’t order more than chips and salsa for an appetizer -- by the time you get the appetizer your main entree is there (they are that quick). The food is delicious. Only get the 64oz margarita if you share it or you aren’t driving! – Brandon P. – Brentwood
Cocina Medina drinks are not limited to tea, coffee or soda. For some, authentic Mexican food would not be complete without a great margarita. Cocina Medina is proud to recommend a selection of luscious flavored margaritas like strawberry, guava, mango, banana, midori, passion fruit, peach, raspberry, papaya and cranberry. Their full-service bar also includes domestic and Mexican beers and house wines. And round off a satisfying meal with a mouthwatering serving of Cocina Medina’s Mexican style custard-flan or deepfried ice cream.
Testimonials
We just happened by and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is vibrant and cozy. All the staff were friendly and the chicken burrito was wonderful. – Ruthann V. – Antioch What I love about this place is their clean take on mexican food. Everything tastes light and extremely fresh. I usually get their tamales because not much places offer them and their sauce is tasty. I can’t stand eating tamales or enchiladas with a super sour sauce, but this place gets it right. Everyone who works here makes you feel at home and is extremely friendly as well. – Kathleen H. – Antioch Cocina Medina is located at 5005 Lone
Tree Way, Suite A in Antioch. They can be contacted at 925-753-1968.

West Coast Cruise Here we are in the days of summer when the nights turn cool but days are still very pleasant and yes, there is still time for our traditional INDIAN SUMMER. It’s usually in September, but it’s anyone’s guess as when or if it will happen this year. Many of you have stated you don’t want to go to the East Coast for a cruise or even to Galveston or New Orleans. How about cruising on the West Coast? It’s here and its happening and the cruise lines are beginning to take a look at us west coasters in a different way. Celebrity Cruises® is embarking on a new venture on the West Coast and will base the Celebrity Century in Los Angeles for a series of 7 day California Coastal cruises in April of 2014. The ports the ship will visit include Santa Barbara, an overnight in San Francisco, Monterey, Catalina Island and Ensenada. It’s a very port intensive cruise with rates
as low as $689 per person based on double occupancy. The 7 day coastal will take place on April 5, 12, 19, and 26th in 2014 and NOW is the time to book as they will be quite full and expectations are high for this ship to do well while on the West Coast.
based on double occupancy for this cruise. Celebrity has listened to you and now it’s up to you to keep them listening and keep a cruise ship based here on the West Coast. All rates are subject to availability and taxes and fees are extra as is cruise care insurance.
In addition to these west coast sailings, The Century will also do a reposition cruise from Vancouver to San Diego on September 26th in 2013. This is an 11 day cruise down the entire west coast visiting Nanaimo in British Columbia as well as Victoria in British Columbia and Seattle with an overnight in that city then on to Astoria, San Francisco, Monterey and Catalina before ending it’s sailing in San Diego.
To book any of these cruises or any cruise that Celebrity Cruises® operates, you can call us so we can assist you to GETAWAY FROM YOUR EVERYDAY. We are Celebrity specialists and are here to help you in any way we can make that special occasion happen and Celebrity will do it in a way that you just can’t believe. In every way and on any day Celebrity Cruises® will dazzle you and amaze you.
Unbelievably, rates for this cruise begin at $999 based on double occupancy. And as they often say, what goes down must come up, right? The Century actually will reposition back to Vancouver in spring of 2014 on May 10 and it will go from Los Angles to Vancouver via Catalina Island, an overnight in San Francisco and on to Astoria and Seattle before disembarkation that takes place in Vancouver. Your rates begin at $599
Come on now, make it happen and GETAWAY FROM YOUR EVERYDAY. You’ve earned it and deserve nothing less. We’re here for you whenever.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH
Early Orthodontic Treatment and The Benefits Bones and muscles form the framework of the face. Either genetics or environmental factors may have an influence on the development of the child’s jaw and muscles. For example, the child may have inherited a small jaw from one parent and large teeth from the other. Or, the child might suck his or her thumb or have breathing problems which could influence the growth of the jaws and the face muscles. When the bones, muscles and teeth work well together, they create a comfortable, stable bite and a pleasing appearance. When the bones and muscles grow improperly, the teeth do not fit together well, which can cause an unbalanced profile and other problems. In a young child, bones and
muscles grow quickly and, therefore, can develop problems pretty quickly too.
and to minimize the chances of the child needing jow surgery later. Early treatment may last a year or longer.
There are some signs that early ortho treatment may be necessary due to jaw and muscle problems. In many children the upper jaw is large or too forward or the lower jaw is too far back or small causing an increased overbite. In some children the upper jaw is too small or too far back or the lower jaw is too forward or too large causing an under bite.
Later, a second phase of full braces may be needed after all the permanent teeth appear. Therefore, early treatment enhances self-esteem by improving the child’s appearance, preventing severe bite problems in the future and minimizing removal of permanent teeth in the future, as well. Therefore, it is very important to get children evaluated by the dentist regularly for the regular cleanings and checkups to see if they need early orthodontic treatment.
Sometimes the upper jaw is not wide enough, so the upper teeth may fit inside the lower teeth causing a cross bite. In some cases the jaw is not big enough to accommodate the developing teeth, causing crowding or the upper jaw is too short, causing a deep bite. Some children have a strong tongue thrusting habit or thumb sucking habit, causing an open bite. Between the ages of 5 and 10, some permanent teeth have already appeared and during this time the bones and muscles are growing rapidly. This is when the dentist can influence their growth in the right direction to get the best possible bite and pleasing appearance for the child,

PRUDENTIAL REALTY
Give Your Home a Tune Up Before Putting it on the Market Home sellers with equity have one goal - to sell their home as quickly as possible for the highest market price. Most of the homebuyers in today’s market are looking for properties that don’t require a lot of work or “turn key�. Homeowners that are proactive and make needed repairs before putting their homes on the market help fill this demand. A home in movein condition is almost always the most desirable and will command top dollar and multiple offers. To accomplish this, inspect both inside and outside the home. Take inventory of practical and aesthetic repairs. You may want to apply a fresh coat of paint on the walls, doors, and trim. Clean the carpet and buff and polish wooden floors. Power wash the sidewalks and driveways, and clean any stains on them. Clean or
re-grout kitchen and bathrooms. Repair dripping faucets and drains or plumbing fixtures that aren’t operating. Take a look at the light fixtures, the bathroom and kitchen faucets. This is a great opportunity to update with minimal cost and excellent return. Replace burned-out bulbs and broken electrical sockets. Replace cracked windows and torn screens. Repair broken fencing and put a fresh coat of stain on the fences and the deck. I recommend hiring a professional home inspector to thoroughly and impartially evaluate the property. A standard report will review the condition of the home’s heating system, central air conditioning, plumbing and electrical systems, the roof, attic, walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, the foundation, and visible structure. By obtaining the pre-inspection it avoids any surprises and allows you to review and prioritize the list of repairs. Many major remodeling projects will only return pennies on the dollar. Let your budget and your real estate professional guide you. In addition to repairs or deferred maintenance, staging is an excellent way of showcasing the positive attributes of
your home to maximize return. In order to accomplish this, you need to depersonalize the home. This does NOT mean taking down and hiding every personal picture but it does mean to minimize. Start packing that rare clown collection or the special teddy bear room. What may be “charming� to the seller may seem off-putting to a prospective buyer. The basics of staging are neutral but not plain, declutter less is definitely more, let the light in, and remember to review all the rooms. A home in good condition demonstrates pride of ownership. Taking the time to give your home a tune up will go a long way in making sure that your home is presented to potential buyers in its best possible light and will make the sale. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation and action plan.

Mildew Come From‌ If mildew isn’t the number one headache for most Americans, then it runs a close second. Mildew is everywhere – all around us. But we don’t see it until it finds a food source. Once that happens mildew begins to flourish. At the end of this article we offer our famous home grown mildew remover. But, before that, let’s chat about the specific causes of mildew and how we can prevent it. First, keep enclosed spaces, like closets, clean and dry. With mildew, cleanliness is close to godliness. Dirty clothing, for example, can provide enough food for mildew to grow when the humidity and temperature are just right. Water droplets caused by condensation create enough food for mildew to run rampant. Water leaks in walls, ceilings, floors, the crawl space and the basement result in yet another food source for mildew. Waterproofing all of these elements is a must. To waterproof
exterior concrete walls, apply several coats of latex block paint. Several coats of a high quality clear sealant also can be used on masonry. For crawl spaces, add a layer of 6-mil plastic sheeting over the entire area. Be sure to leave a six-inch space between the foundation walls and the edge of the sheeting. Doing so will prevent a buildup of moisture beneath the plastic. If possible, install additional foundation vents and if that isn’t enough add a fan as well. Ventilation inside is also important too. The shower, laundry and the kitchen all create steam that turns to moisture droplets everywhere. Every area where steam can be produced should be fitted with a high-powered exhaust fan. An air-conditioner (the refrigeration type) is another defense against mildew feeding moisture. Air-conditioning systems remove moisture from the air by eliminating warm air, cooling it (which removes the moisture) and circulating the cool dry air. Where air-conditioning isn’t available a portable or built-in dehumidifier will do the trick. Here’s a trick you can use to fool mother moisture: With all windows and
doors closed, heat the house until it is warmer inside than outside. Then open doors and windows to let out the hot, moisture-laden air. To dry out an average size closet we recommend using a 60watt light bulb in the ceiling. Leave it on all the time. Mildew will never grow in the closet again. Place the light bulb clear of clothing or other flammables. Can you spell fire? In some cases, opening the closet door(s) and spacing clothing loosely can aid in enough air circulation to eliminate the use of a light bulb. Absorbents such as lava rock also help to dehumidify almost any area. When the air outside is drier than the air inside, open windows and doors. Natural air currents often can do the trick. If there is no breeze, create one with fans placed at opposing windows. Make sure the fans are blowing outward. During winter months run decorative ceiling fans in reverse so that air is blown against the ceiling. The circulation of hot air from the ceiling will prevent condensation on windows – if the drapes/curtains are open.

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED? As the smoke from the East County skies settles into the night from the 4th of July fireworks shows in the surrounding cities, the residents of Brentwood know the best is yet to come. Celebrating twenty years, the famous Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Cornfest, showcasing the world famous Brentwood Sweet Corn, has once again wowed its guests. On assignment, I put on my walking shoes and made my way to the gates to buy my annual ticket. Due to the reconstruction of the new Civic Center, Cornfest organizers had to find a temporary home for the annual event. Last year, it was located on the corner of Sand Creek and Brentwood Blvd. and this year, much to my approval (and everyone else I talked to), it was nestled between Jack in the Box and Hampton Inn on Brentwood Blvd. Watching it all come to life one week before showtime, I couldn’t help but appreciate ALL of the organization behind facilitating such a huge event.
The parking was a breeze, and you had many choices. Once I reached the gates, buying my ticket was a snap and once through the gates, I handed by wristband to a nice gentleman who placed it properly on my wrist and another waiting to cut the tab and hand me my official program. Nice touch, Chamber! This new experience of snooping my annual tradition was odd, but I really enjoyed looking through new eyes to tell our readers about my journey. I have to say it was so well laid out, I knew exactly where I was going and what I wanted to see. With plenty of shade in all the right areas, it was easy to stop for a cold beer from one of the local non-profit beer booths or grab my annual corndog with extra mustard. From the volunteers in the beer booth to those gathering garbage, everyone was extremely pleasant and certainly sent the right message to Cornfest guests. I really liked how they strategically placed the two band locations. From the City of Brentwood’s big stage at the entrance, a local live band brought inviting sounds to all that entered the gates and by the time you got to the other end, the concert stage showcased a big name band with plenty of seating and a great dance floor.
From the children’s area to my favorite stop at Co Co’s Wine booth pouring my favorite Tamayo Malbec, I spent a good hour just snooping. The carnival was huge with kids running in every direction to go on the rides and vendor alley had wonderful vendors, both informative and lots of cool stuff to buy. But my favorite was the wonderful display and booths from the Historic Society. It was an excellent representation of the local farming industry with old and new tractors and volunteers dressed in historic clothing. As I finished my rounds, my last stop was to get a glimpse of the corn husking contest to beat the world record for the most huskers. This, the magnificent fireworks display and my annual hot roasted corn made my day a memorable one. So, to all who worked, to all who came and especially all who organized, this secret shopper gives you ten ears of buttery sweet corn for keeping the tradition of food, family and fun at this wonderful civic celebration. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
