Local Dermatologist Noted for Innovative Skin Care Methods and Ou t standi n g C o s m et i c a nd S u rg i ca l Pr oce du r e s Well- known skin care specialist Dr. Daniel Di Cesare, of Orange Coast Dermatology who has local offices in both Rancho Santa Margarita and Mission Viejo is widely regarded by his peers and patients for providing cutting edge technology in the treatment for advanced skin care. “I was especially impressed with Dr. Di Cesare’s excellent staff when I visited his office”, said one recent patient. “I was made to feel welcome and all of his staff were all knowledgeable and familiar with my file and showed extraordinary care for my comfort. They explained all the details of my procedure and showed me several options for treatment. This was a refreshing change from my previous dermatologist who seemed to lack interest in my personal well-being.” Visiting at the Rancho Santa Margarita office, the newspaper interviewed staff member Beth Belkofer. A Registered Nurse with 25 years of experience in surgical dermatology and skin care treatments. She said” at Orange Coast Dermatology, we practice the kind of personal cosmetic and surgical care that provides comfort and confidence in the treatment of every patient. Many people come to the doctor’s office with some sense of worry or apprehension. By taking some extra time to discuss the available procedures in detail, we find that patients are relieved and delighted to be informed and reassured. We treat every patient comprehensively from head to toe and each person’s treatment is individually customized to their specific needs and preferences.” Another staff member at Orange Coast Dermatology is Ann Floeringer, who told the newspaper “As an Aesthetician with forty years
of experience I’m delighted to be working with Dr. Di Cesare.His methods are right at the top of cutting edge technology,” she said. “While some of our patients have serious skin issues such as pre-cancerous skin blemishes, many other patients have other skin issues such as cosmetic concerns of wrinkles, moles and discolorations which require the attention of experts to make their lives easier and revitalize their appearance. Orange Coast Dermatology is quite possibly the best medical practice in all of South Orange County, trained and equipped to provide this kind of care,” she continued; “we’re skilled in offering procedures today that other professionals in the area are only just now learning about, such as Bodyfirming and Skin Tightening, using methods like radiofrequency combined with microneedling, and aquafacials to exhilarate and enhance the face and body with maximum results.” The newspaper spoke with Dr. Di Cesare, who said: “My goal is to have satisfied patients. This can best be accomplished by offering the very latest treatments that exceed the patient’s expectations. At Orange Coast Dermatology, we are continuing to learn new techniques and to share those new methods with our staff by continuous training and having experienced staff members available to assist in these procedures. Perhaps because I come from a family of missionaries, and I like to call it my mission to provide excellence in every aspect of a patient’s treatment serving this community in a friendly and compassionate manner.” Dr. Di Cesare continued;’ At Orange Coast Dermatology we are launching a pilot program

TAX PLANNING STRATEGIES FOR 2016 FROM KIM COYLE CPA
Dear Client; As the end of the year approaches, it’s a good time to think of planning strategies that will help lowering your taxes for 2016. My goal is for you to leverage your tax deductions and credit to the fullest extent. I want to briefly discuss five different strategies that can be powerful tools in lowering your tax bill. And the really great part is that each of these strategies is easy to understand and implement. Here are the strategies: 1. Prepay Expenses The IRS allows cash-basis taxpayers to prepay and deduct qualifying expenses up to 12 months in advance (through December 2017) without challenge, adjustment, or change by the IRS. For a cash-basis taxpayer, qualifying expenses include lease payment on business vehicles, rent payments on offices and machinery, and business and malpractice insurance premiums. This is a great way to pump up your 2016 deductions with expenses you will eventually pay anyway. 2. Stop Billing Customers and Patients An easy strategy for reducing your taxable income for this year is to stop billing your customers until December 31, 2016. Customers, patients, and insurance companies generally don’t pay until billed. Not billing customers and patients is a time-tested tax planning strategy that business owner have used successfully for years. 3. Buy Office Equipment With Section 179, you can write off up to $500,000 of office equipment in 2016. Qualifying Section 179 purchases include new and used personal property such as equipment, computers, desks, chairs, and certain qualifying vehicles. To qualify for Section 179, you need to both buy the items and put them in business service on or before midnight December 31, 2016. 4. Use Your Credit Cards If you are a sole proprietor, the day you charge a purchase to your business or personal credit card is the day the expense is deductible, Therefore, as a proprietor, consider using your credit cards to buy office supplies and other business necessities. If you operate your business as a corporation, and if the corporation has a credit card in the corporate name, the same rule applies: the date of charge is the date of deduction for the corporation. But if you operate your business as a corporation and you are the personal owner of the credit card, the corporation must reimburse you if you want the corporation to realize the tax deduction, and that happens on the date of reimbursement. Thus, submit your expense report and have your corporation make its reimbursements to you before midnight on December 31. 5. Don’t Assume You Are Taking Too Many Deductions Make sure your record all of your rightful deductions for 2016, because if your business deductions exceed your business income, you have a tax loss for the year. After a few modifications to the loss, tax law calls this a “net operating loss,” or an NOL. The good news is that tax law allows you to carry back the NOL for two years and get instant refunds from taxes previously paid. If, after going back for two years, you still have unused losses, you can carry them forward for up to 20 years. In other words, you have a 22-year window during which you can realize the benefits of your deductions. So always document your expenses in order to get your rightful deductions. Please do not hesitate contact me if you want to discuss in greater depth any of the strategies outlined above.

3 surprising home elements you can automate Just a decade or two ago, home automation was still something of a novelty. Some homeowners might have had programmable thermostats in their homes, but many probably hadn’t thought of automating things like window coverings. Moreover, they likely viewed any home automation they did have as a convenience. Today, home automation is becoming an essential efficiency-enhancing element in many homes. Right now, just fewer than 6 percent of American households have automated homes, but within four years that percentage is expected to triple to nearly 19 percent, according to data compiled by Statista.com. What’s driving more people to automate their homes? A report by icontrol networks found security, cost savings and ecofriendly energy efficiency are what people find most exciting about home automation. Heating and cooling, lighting and security systems are among the most common elements automated in homes, but they’re far from the only ones that can save you money and make your home more efficient. Here are three surprising things you can automate in your home to further improve efficiency, boost energy savings and lower energy costs: Window coverings Shades, drapes, blinds, and awnings can all help control the amount of heat and light that enter your home. Selecting window coverings to block out light and heat in summer, and admit light in winter, can help your home’s heating and cooling systems work more efficiently. However, the effectiveness of window coverings
hinges on opening and closing them at the right time - something you may forget to do, or not be home to do. Automating and powering window coverings can help automatically maximize their effectiveness. Depending on the climate where you live, automating window coverings could yield energy savings of 1120 percent, according to a study commissioned by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). Somfy’s motorized solutions easily integrate with any home automation system, regardless of brand or technology, and offer many options for controlling window coverings. Select from a wide variety of handheld remotes, sensors, wall switches, and the myLink app that allows you to control your motorized window coverings from mobile devices. Door locks If you’ve ever been locked out of your house or had a guest arrive at your home when you were out, you probably wished there was some way to unlock your front door without a key - and from miles away. Smart locks allow you to do both those things and more. You can replace or supplement an existing lock by installing a smart lock, and you won’t need a professional locksmith to do it. If you can install a regular lock and operate a smartphone, you have the expertise you need to add and use a smart lock. In addition to allowing you to lock and unlock your door without a key, smart locks also allow you to operate the lock remotely from an app on your phone. You can also receive alerts when the door has been unlocked - a great way to track
the comings and goings of latchkey kids. Many allow you to generate a single-use digital key that you can email to guests or service providers who may need to enter your home when you’re not there. Smart locks can also be paired with most popular home automation systems. Smart appliances Many appliance makers are offering smart, connected appliances with the big draw being their “wow factor.” However, some of the features of these appliances do hold the potential to improve a home’s efficiency and energy savings. For example, a refrigerator that tracks groceries and lets you know when you’re about to run out of an important item could help you better plan your shopping trips. Fewer car trips conserves gas and reduces greenhouse emissions. Cooking is another area where automation can relieve some of the energy waste caused by human error. Smart ovens and cooktops can sense when to turn themselves off in case you forget to do it - reducing energy waste and fire risks. More homeowners are discovering the convenience, security and efficiency advantages of home automation. Technology is helping make American homes more livable and enjoyable. -(BPT)

PACIFIC SYMPHONY POPS CELEBRATES VALENTINE’S DAY WEEKEND WITH THE INCOMPARABLE MICHAEL BOLTON Get ready for a wonderfully romantic and memorable evening when Pacific Symphony Pops welcomes the iconic, multi-Grammy-Award winning singer/ songwriter—Michael Bolton—for a special Valentine’s Day weekend celebration! Known for his signature raspy voice and poignant lyrics, Bolton makes his debut performance with the Symphony, featuring a night of blockbuster hits, soulful classics and favorite pop songs, including “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” “When a Man Loves a Woman,” “How Can We Be Lovers,” “That’s What Love is All About,” “Time, Love and Tenderness,” “Stand By Me” and many more! Bolton, who has always balanced a love for writing new songs with a passion for covering the classics, has sold more than 53 million albums and singles worldwide. Led by the dynamic guest conductor Stuart Chafetz, this Pops concert takes place the weekend before Valentine’s Day, Friday-Saturday, Feb. 10-11, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $45-$177 ($205 Box Circle). For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org. In 2014, The Reviews Hub in London wrote: “With Grammy Awards coming out of his ears, nine numberone hits and over 53 million records sold—Michael Bolton, a little over 60, has no difficulty in getting the women and yes, quite a lot of men, screaming and shouting as he takes to the stage to perform in this tour... This concert was an extremely exciting, exhilarating and heart-warming evening—one cannot recommend it enough. It has many excellent moments that help you to forget the outside world for a few short hours.” Bolton, who has enjoyed a view from the top of music entertainment for several decades, has been recognized for his many artistic achievements with two Grammys for Best Pop Male Vocal Performance (nominated four times), six American Music Awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As a songwriter, he has earned over 24 BMI and ASCAP Awards, including Songwriter of the Year, nine MillionAir awards and the Hitmakers Award from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. On his breakthrough album “The Hunger,” Bolton authored the number-one hit single “That’s What Love is All About” and sang his charttopping version of Otis Redding’s “Sittin’ On the Dock of the Bay.” That album was certified double Platinum with four million copies shipping worldwide. The accomplishments just continued. To date, Bolton has eight studio albums ranked in the top 10, with nine number-one charttopping singles. But his biggest success came with the album “Soul Provider,” which sold more than 12.5 million copies and showcased several
Michael Bolton
chart-toppers including the numberone hit single, “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” which earned him his first Grammy. This album also includes the hit singles “When I’m Back on My Feet Again,” “How Can We Be Lovers,” “Soul Provider” and the Grammy-nominated “Georgia on My Mind.” “I never dared to dream of a life as big as mine has become,” says Bolton. “I’ve made many mistakes and done things—and not done things—I’m truly sorry for; but I have also experienced countless, cherished moments of joy, love and laughter, and I have no regrets for putting my heart and soul into a career of music, one of the greatest gifts we all can share.” Soon after “Soul Provider,” Bolton released the number-one album “Time, Love and Tenderness,” which sold over 16 million copies, and features his Grammy Award-winning performance of the number-one blockbuster, “When a Man Loves a Woman.” This album also produced the hit singles: “Love Is a Wonderful Thing” and “Missing You Now,” as well as “Steel Bars,” co-written with Bob Dylan. He followed this with a collection of classics on the album “Timeless,” delivering the hit singles “To Love Some Somebody” and “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” The
album sold over seven million copies worldwide. His next album, “The One Thing,” included “Said I Loved You… But I Lied,” which spent 12 weeks at number one on the AC charts and earned him another Grammy nomination. Today, Bolton continues to tour the world while writing, recording and taping for a wide array of projects spanning music, film, television and theater. He also remains committed to humanitarian causes, especially through Michael Bolton Charities, as well as other social and political organizations. His timeless style, charm and good looks have also earned him a spot in several People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man” issues, including 2012’s “Sexiest Man Alive.” He became a viral sensation after being featured in The Lonely Island’s popular “Captain Jack Sparrow” video that launched on “Saturday Night Live” (performed live on the Emmys). The Emmy-nominated video racked up more than 150 million views on YouTube; it was the third most viewed video of 2011. Bolton has recorded and performed with countless musical icons. He joined Luciano Pavarotti on stage for “Vesti la giubba,” and pays homage to the Italian tenor when performing “Nessun Dorma” on tour. He has sung with Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras
and René Fleming and played guitar with BB King. He was invited to sing ”Georgia on my Mind” to Ray Charles at the International Jazz Hall of Fame Awards in 1997, and he has performed duets with both Seal and Lara Fabian for a 2011 “David Foster and Friends” PBS special. A diverse and prolific songwriter, Bolton has collaborated with some of the greatest songwriters and producers of our time: Lady Gaga, Diane Warren, Desmond Child, David Foster, Walter Afanasieff, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, John “Mutt” Lange, Dann Huff, A.R. Rahman, Phil Ramone, Ne Yo, Bob Dylan and Billy Mann, among others. He has penned songs that have been recorded and performed by over 100 artists, ranging from country legend Conway Twitty to hip hop artist Kanye West, featuring Jay Z and John Legend. Other artists include Mark Anthony, Wynonna Judd, Joe Cocker, Peabo Bryson, Kenny Rogers and Patti LaBelle. He wrote No. 1 hit singles for Laura Branigan (“How Am I Supposed to Live Without You”), KISS (“Forever”), Barbra Streisand (“We’re Not Making Love Anymore”), Cher (“I Found Someone”) and Kenny G (“By the Time this Night is Over”). And he and his songs have been featured in numerous television and film soundtracks.

Top 10 Street Style Trends From Men’s Fashion Week 2017 By Johnny Mannah Menswear Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week brought us a lot of inspiration from the latest designer runway collections and the streets. The street style was vibrant as ever, with the stylish civilians and visitors of London, Paris and Milan pulling out lively hues, childhoodinspired pieces and a few traditional staples. We have scouted the streets for the latest men’s fashion trends and narrowed them down to ten most beloved looks and items. 1. Bandanas Bandanas are perhaps the easiest street style trend to pull off, and they are boyishly brilliant. What makes this trend even better? All you will need is a humble bandana that could very well cost you a few dollars. An instant boost to the simplest of silhouettes, neckerchiefs are playful and can be an excellent opportunity to bring more colour to your wardrobe if you are a little hesitant to rock brighter shades. A great cherry red, cobalt blue or monochrome patterned bandana will do the trick, but ensure your knots are neat. 2. Seventies Revival Street Style from Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week also saw a sartorial throwback to the evocative seventies. The most appealing element from the seventies trend that emerged from street style was the rich colour palette. Try harnessing a rusty brown or rich Bordeaux as the focal point of your outfits. Loose fitting button downs in gloomy tans or amber oranges are also great.
Page 14
Some attendees also saw the shows as an opportunity to bring out their suede and velvet clothing. The key to pulling off this trend is to find pieces that pay tribute to the seventies, but also complement your features and colouring. Oh, and refrain from donning bell-bottoms. 3. Pyjama Inspired Pieces What’s not to love about a great pair of pyjamas? This trend is yawn inducing but in all the best ways. We can thank the attendees for showing us that there is a perfectly respectable way to reconcile sleepwear references with our everyday wear. Baby blue teamed with warm beige featured prominently as did striped and plaid pieces in pastel tones. Don’t think you can pull off this comfy trend? Try a loose-fitting chambray shirt in a lighter blue or a striped linen shirt for a simple incorporation of the trend. 4. White Out Head to toe white prevailed as a favoured street style trend that was certainly bold. While most gentlemen that harnessed this trend went for more elaborate oriental-inspired silhouettes, there are simpler ways to channel elements of this trend for your weekend wear. Team white jeans with a humble white t-shirt, but throw on a navy or emerald baseball cap for a more grounded look. Roll up your jeans for a relaxed adaptation of the trend. Throw on some dark sunglasses to bring a bit more dimension to the plainness of all white. 5. Childhood Memories A more playful trend that emerged
The Ladera Ranch News
from the European streets during fashion week was the novel childhood references that were emblazoned on shirts, jackets and baseball caps alike. Gents saw this fashion week as an opportunity to play off youthful imagery. Astronauts, spacecrafts, zoo animals, surfboards, and the like were the fun style statements with references from our younger years. To incorporate this trend in your everyday wear, opt for boyish accessories for a simple boost to the simplest of casual pieces. Think baseball caps, over the ankle knitted socks and youthful prints. 6. Statement Bomber Jackets Attendees thought outside of the box with the colour choices of their bomber jackets at Fashion Week. Yes, black and navy bombers featured prevalently in street style, but bolder, more vivid shades also played a major role in distinguishing attendees from other guests. Lighttoned emeralds and bright pinks were unexpected and were attentiongrabbing. For gentlemen wanting to keep things conservative, opt for versatile colours, but ensure that your fit is youthful, and your accompanying pieces are streamlined. 7. The Powder Blue Shirt While some gents went for true light blues, others went for more lavender versions of powder blue button downs. Undoubtedly, there was a sea of classic silhouettes, but other powder blue shirt wearers also went for more modern adaptations. These came in the form of asymmetric shoulders, dimensional detailing and skinnier fits. For corporate wear, adapt powder blue shirts with ties in the same colour family; think navy and cobalt. Reds and burgundies are also great colour accompaniments. For casual wear, a great fitting powder blue shirt with streamline chinos is ideal. Team with loafers or white sneakers for a relaxed aesthetic.
8. Monochrome Prints On the topic of childhood memories, the monochrome prints featured on the European streets of fashion week were a little reminder to our memories of ‘101 Dalmatians’. Bold, graphic and unusual, Fashion Week attendees weren’t afraid to make daring statements in the most humble and basic of all the colour combinations. If you aren’t as brave, incorporate black and white in more traditional patterns, like bold stripes or ginghams which will read more classic yet perpetually stylish. 9. Vermillion Red Certainly one of the most attentiongrabbing colour trends, vermillion red stood out as a sartorial favourite on the streets of Fashion Week. Be careful to cherry pick which red pieces you go for; this shade of red is very bright and can read conspicuously over the top if done wrong. Vivid red t-shirts can be a nice change to our beloved white t-shirts and red sweaters are a great accompaniment to dark denim. For corporate wear, channel the trend with red socks or a preppy striped tie featuring the shade for a subtle interpretation of the trend. 10. Light Wash Denim Light blue was certainly a preferred colour of choice on the streets of Europe, with the powder blue trend sustained with the favoured denim for the Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Week attendees. Light and bright were the denim jackets that featured heavily on the European streets. The light wash denim trend didn’t stop there, with some guests interpreting their light wash denim in edgier pieces, including light denim short sleeve mechanic coveralls and distressed jeans. The ultimate for casual wear, invest in some slightly baggy denim jackets for easy over the shoulder accompaniments to white t-shirts or striped sweaters.

Panda landed at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center after the shelter received a call about a family of cats living in unsafe conditions. She and her three sisters were rescued and nursed back to health with the help of a local veterinary team. Shortly after, Panda gave birth to four kittens and was placed with a loving foster family while she nursed her babies. Panda returned to the Mission Page 16
Viejo Animal Services Center, where she has become a staff favorite because she is extremely sweet and social. While her sisters have all been adopted, Panda is still looking for a family that is just as gentle and playful as she is.

The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 043726-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

Serving Southern California since 1974. Moroccan cuisine plays on the senses, from flaky bastilles, to mouth watering tagines. Each Moroccan dish is prepared to tantalize you with intoxicating aromas and flavors. But in Morocco, mealtime is not just a meal, but a social event as well. Family and friends linger over each bite enjoying the company as much as the food.

With all the time off, the holiday season is a great time to earn sweat equity on your home. Here are 3 easy projects anyone can do to increase the value of their home.
1. FIX THE SIMPLE THINGS
There are many common things around the house like hinges, wheels on doors, light bulbs, electrical switches, running toilets, and even faucets that are relatively simple items to address. There are many helpful people at your local hardware store that will happily help you fi gure out how to solve these issues. Your home will attract a higher price if there is less to fi x.
2. CREATE A FRESH OUTDOOR SPACE
The outdoor spaces are very important to many buyers. There are many simple things you can do around the yard including planting fresh fl owers, cleaning overgrown areas, trimming trees, power washing patios, and cleaning outdoor appliances that can really increase the appeal of your property by making the outdoor space feel fresh.
3. PAINTING IN STYLE
You’ve seen all the home improvement shows and the house fl ipping shows. What’s the one thing that always gets the most bang for the buck? Interior paint of course. I would love to help you choose paint colors that are most popular with buyers in the current market. Painting is easy and can even be fun. Almost anyone can do it!
