Don’t set yourself up for a foul at your next sports-watching party Game day is just around the corner. You and your friends have been talking about the upcoming football game on Sunday afternoon for weeks. You’ve rescheduled everything to keep Tuesday night free for the basketball matchup between top rival teams. You could spend a lot of money and travel time to get tickets to the game, but you’d be stuck peering through binoculars to see the action or wrapped up in many layers of clothing to stay warm. Instead, you can catch every moment of the game comfortable and warm in front of a large-screen TV. To watch the game on television, your friends may be thinking about heading out to the local sports bar, but with the constant interruptions and noise from different games - not to mention potentially getting a bad seat - you might miss out on something important. This makes it all the more ideal to host game night yourself. It’s so much easier to just invite your friends and family over to lounge on your comfortable couches while cheering on the home team. And if you have a television 42-inches wide or larger, chances are good that your friends will take you up on your

game-day party offer, according to a “Staygating” survey conducted by LG Electronics USA. Here are some tips to help you organize your sports buds, get the house ready for company and get ready to watch the game: * No matter how casual the gettogether, the guest list is crucial so that, as host, you can plan food and seating appropriately. So whether the RSVP is through text or e-mail, make sure you know exactly how many friends will be cheering the team on toward victory. Email invites might make it a bit easier to get your starting lineup planned, especially if you plan to invite a large group of friends. * Quality of food is very important to people who attend sports-viewing parties, so make certain your fans aren’t calling foul on what you serve at home. You have several options. You can tell everyone you’re hosting a potluck party, and ask them to bring the lucky food item that will ensure your team’s victory. You can arrange for catering of pulled pork or cold meat sandwiches. Or you can go all out and whip up some chicken wings in a crock pot to be served with coleslaw and cookies decorated in team colors. No matter the direction

you go, be sure to have enough good food to keep your fans full and happy the entire game. * The best game-watching experience is with a high-definition Smart TV like the LG 65LB6300, which allows your fans to see and call the play better than the athletes, coaches or referees on the field. This TV has an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel to give all viewers the best seat in the house - the game looks great no matter what angle you’re looking at the TV from. It’s also an LG SmartTV with Web OS, making it easy to

connect to providers like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon and YouTube for entertainment long after the game is over. Use the Magic Remote to open an app or flip between games, and your sports fans will be scheduling every game night at your house from now on. LG’s suite of Smart TV’s range from 39 to 105-inches in size. With these game-day partyplanning tips, you might as well put next season’s schedule on your digital calendar now, because no one will want to miss a second of it.

5 great skincare tips for cooler temperatures Yes, the cooler months are here and sumnmer is a way off. That means long coats, scarves and an entirely different skincare routine. Skincare you say? True, it’s easy to forget about your skin when it’s covered by all those extra layers, but dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas, who is the founder and medical director of Union Square Dermatology, says cooler months are when skincare, particularly lip care, is most important. “The skin is our first line of defense against environmental elements, but the skin on our lips has extremely unique properties. It is one of the most sensitive areas of skin, so they require special attention in order to maintain a healthy appearance,” says Dr. Chapas. With that in mind, Dr. Chapas offers these tips to help you keep your lips and the rest of your skin feeling and looking healthy no matter the temperature. * Nurture your lips. The cooler months are hard on your lips. Not only are they exposed to cooler temperatures daily, behavioral habits like biting or licking your lips can also be damaging. “What most people don’t realize is that common behaviors such as drinking wine or Page 4
coffee and eating salty or acidic foods can dry out the lips,” says Dr. Chapas. “But drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and applying a moisturizing lip balm can help counteract the effects of these activities and improve your lip health.” Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew is a dual-ended lip balm that delivers long-lasting moisture to the lips and works great to keep the skin on the lips moisturized and replenished in the cooler months. * Protect your hands. Your hands are often left exposed during the cooler months, especially if the cold air has dried your skin, making gloves or mittens painful to wear. Dr. Chapas says products that contain shea butter and lanolin are great for counteracting the abuse your hands endure. * For your scalp. A thicker, moisturizing shampoo will reduce dryness on your scalp and prevent itchiness as temperatures drop. * Remember the time of day. Don’t use the same skincare products for day and night. Instead, use products with protective, moisturizing benefits to guard your skin during the day. At night, switch to heavier creams that offer more hydration. Your skin
The Ladera Ranch News
will absorb this extra moisture while you sleep. For example, ChapStick Hydration Lock Day & Night contains two distinct formulas specific for day and nighttime use. * Don’t forget the sun. Just because you’ve traded in your sunburn for windburn doesn’t mean you don’t need SPF. “UV damage can happen year-round,” says Dr. Chapas. “In fact, we are closer to the sun in the wintertime, and the sun can reflect off the snow, further amplifying its rays
and causing sun damage. This makes it so important to incorporate sun protection into your skincare routine, regardless of the season.” Areas like the lips where skin is thinner will need even more attention and protection, since they are so sensitive. On those coldest days when you’re bundled in layers, remember your skin needs extra protection and these simple tips will help your skin stay healthy during the cold weather season.

Millennials take new approach to work-life balance More and more, Millennials are on the road for work. In an average month, one in four business-traveling Millennials travel overnight for work at least once per week. As the line between “personal” and “business” grows thinner and thinner for this generation, Millennials are increasingly finding adventure through business. More than any other group, Millennial business travelers are more likely to add on
extra days to their business trip for leisure travel (84 percent) according to the Hilton Garden Inn Discovery and Connection Survey. Millennials are funding these adventures through their business trips, too. The vast majority of this group (85 percent) is more likely to use reward points from their business travel to book a vacation, compared to a year ago. As the economy improves, business travel across the nation is on the rise.
According to the Global Business Travel Association, U.S. business travel is expected to grow 5.1 percent in 2016. As more Millennials hit the road for work, they are keeping top of mind a few, simple business travel perks to fulfill their appetite for personal adventure and discovery: * Fly for free - Those flying for business can earn airline miles in their name. These business miles quickly add up, allowing travelers to upgrade seats or add another destination without accruing additional cost. Business travelers can then use these miles to bring a friend or loved one on the trip with them - quickly transitioning from business to family vacation or romantic getaway once the weekend hits. * Earn hotel perks - Frequent stays in hotels offering rewards programs can grant business travelers benefits like free overnight stays, late checkout, and complimentary breakfast. These extras turn a business trip into much more, especially when additional nights are used to extend a business trip into a vacation. Some hotels have seasonal programs. * Discover local hidden g e m s - Cities often encourage business travelers to experience the local culture while in town and provide package deals with discounts to restaurants, tickets to local shows or events, helpful tips to find transportation in the city and even sightseeing opportunities to explore during free time. This becomes even more common when a city is hosting a large business gathering, such as an industry convention. Millennials continue to be at the forefront of achieving work-life balance - utilizing business travel to discover new cities, explore local cultures, taste authentic cuisines and connect with new people across the country and around the globe.

Swap Up for Big Game Day Chicken wings, guacamole, and cheesy dips are America’s top choices for most Big Game day menus, but the same recipes year after year can get tiring. Forget the same-old spread and surprise your guests with a little more taste and pizazz this year. Put these tips into play for a winning combination your team can celebrate. Swap Up with Sausage. Transform typical dishes, by swapping sausage into recipes, such as chili and nachos, which typically incorporate ground beef. The built-in flavor lends great taste and convenience to these dishes. Instead of chips and queso, add brat sausage to your nachos to make brat-chos. Or give this MVP Chili recipe a try! MVP Chili: Ingredients: 2 packages of Johnsonville Hot Italian Sausage Links (use mild links for less spicy chili)
1 large onion 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons chili powder (use mild chili powder for less spicy chili) 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1 bottle (12 ounces) dark beer (OK to substitute light beer or 1 cup beef stock) 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 can (15.5 ounces) red kidney beans 1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans 1-1.5 cups corn (frozen or fresh off the cob) salt and pepper Directions: 1. De-case sausage and sauté in large pot; use wooden spoon to crumble sausage as it cooks. 2. Once sausage is nicely browned, stir in onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin and continue cooking until onion softens, about 5 minutes. 3. Add beer and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. 4. Stir in tomatoes and tomato paste and allow it to simmer, uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes on medium-low, stirring occasionally. 5. Taste and adjust seasonings with
OC MUSIC CENTER
salt and pepper. 6. Finally, stir in beans and corn. 7. Let this come to a simmer and it’s ready to serve! (Can be prepared a day ahead.) Use Unexpected Ingredients. Many dips and sides prominently feature the gooey goodness of cheese. Put a fresh spin on these dishes with highquality, sophisticated options that feature more robust flavors, such as pungent blue cheese, smoked Gouda or tangy goat cheese. Sweeten Up Your Spread. To mix in sweet with the savory options, find a spot on the table for some fresh fruit flavor. Favorites such as fruit salad, fruit pizza or fruit kabobs can make for a delectable treat to accompany the rest of your game-day fare. Mix it Up. Smoky flavors and bourbon are trending upward in kitchens, backyards, bars and restaurants across the country. Combine the two for a creative spin to your beverage spread. Seep Johnsonville Fully Cooked Smoked Brats in bourbon for about a day to extract smoky and savory flavors, and mix the bourbon for a modern twist on the Manhattan cocktail. Find more creative recipes to spice up your game-day spread at Johnsonville.com.
Smokey Sausage Manhattan: Ingredients: 2 ounces Sausage-Infused Bourbon 1 ounces Sweet Vermouth 1 dash Angostura Bitters 3 Cherries Directions: In ice filled mixing glass, add all ingredients and stir for at least 30 seconds. Strain into martini glass and garnish with 3 cherries on a pick. Sausage-Infused Bourbon 1. Cut Johnsonville Fully Cooked Smoked Split Rope Sausage into 1/2-inch slices. 2. In glass jar with tight lid (canning jar is ideal) add sliced brat with 6 ounces of bourbon and let sit for 2448 hours. 3. Strain through coffee filter into clean container. 4. Discard sliced brats.

How to Get a Part-Time Job as an NFL Cheerleader Break into the World of Professional Cheerleading
Many a young boy and his parents dream of him playing professional football one day, but how many parents plan on their daughter becoming a professional cheerleader for an NFL team? NFL cheerleaders get to tour the country and be famous too. On a TV show following the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader training camp, you can see that the NFL cheerleaders are also taught correct etiquette, poise, and even have to learn a little grammar. In addition, being a professional cheerleader is only a part-time job, so you can hold another job, go to school, or even be a mother at the same time. In fact, the Washington Redskins requires that you have a full- or part-time job, are attending college, or have a family in order to audition, emphasizing that this is a part-time job. Finding an Audition Find a team holding cheerleading auditions near you and register. You can find out about this by picking a team that plays near you, and searching for their cheerleading squad’s website online. You must be at least 18 years old to be accepted to an audition with the Dallas Cowboys, but 21 to audition for the Carolina Panthers. Most teams require that candidates have a high school diploma or GED. The auditions will take up several days, especially if you do well and progress through each round to the next. Keep this in mind when scheduling. Audition dates for NFL cheerleaders vary from squad to squad. The Dallas
Cowboys Cheerleaders hold their auditions in April, while the New England Patriots Cheerleaders have auditions at the end of March. Looking the Part The Dallas Cowboys cheerleading website claims that they do not have specific height and weight requirements to try out, but that the woman’s body should “look wellproportioned in dancewear.” An advertisement for the New England Patriots cheerleader try-outs specifies that they do have set requirements for height and weight. On the TV show about their training camp, however, they kicked off girls who did not photograph well, and took it upon themselves to fix hair and make-up style as they saw fit. You may have all the dance and cheerleading skills they could hope for, but if you don’t fit the image of a professional cheerleader, you don’t have a chance. What they’re looking for Dancing Talent Practice those high kicks and splits-these are some of the essential skills needed for become an NFL cheerleader. You also need to be able to pick up a new routine pretty quickly, as learning and performing one will probably be part of the audition. Most of the cheerleading squads are more dancing than the traditional cheerleader tumbling. However, some try-outs offer optional tumbling auditions if you do have these skills and want to show them off.
If you have the time and money, invest in some dance classes. The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders offer classes to “prep” for their auditions. This may give you an advantage during auditions. What they’re looking for Personality Most auditions include some form of personal interview. Of course, how well you look and dance is probably far more important than this, but don’t take it lightly. NFL Cheerleaders are exposed to a lot of press, have to meet children and fans, and represent the team well. They have to make sure that their cheerleaders can present themselves well when talking to the public, and won’t pull any crazy stunts that will get bad press. They also want someone who will be easy to work with. So here, watch your manners and be nice! After Auditions - You’re not in yet After auditions, the candidate field is narrowed down. These lucky ones will go on to training camp, but more will need to be cut. The few weeks of training camp allows the judges to get to know the women’s personalities and dancing style better, and see who the best fit for the team is. If you get cut during this round, don’t get down! If you made it that far, you have some talent, and you probably got some feedback. If you still dream of being an NFL cheerleader, listen to that feedback, work on improving, and head out to the next auditions! The Ladera Ranch News

LANDMARK RESTAURANT DESTROYED; NOW COMES THE HARD PART
Steve White Gets Ready to Build His Exciting New Tutto Fresco Restaurant in Rancho Santa Margarita
HEY STEVE, HOW’S YOUR NEW LOCAL MAN WRECKS RESTAURANT Stephen RESTAURANT COMING? Owner White standing in the rubble of building that once exhibits sign of confidence. housed three former local restaurants. Rancho Santa Margarita residents were shocked to see the destruction inside the building where popular watering holes Opah’s and the Embarcadero restaurants once stood in the El Paseo shopping center. The piles of debris were five feet high in some places. Heaps of broken bricks, crushed concrete, chunks of ceiling tiles, pulverized plywood were startling to the bewildered bystanders. When the Coto de Caza News visited the scene of the destruction yesterday, we found a dramatically different scene. The wreckage of Embarcadero is all gone. The bare concrete floors are cleared and cleaned. Stephen White, who owns and operates the three Tutto Fresco Italian restaurants arrives for the interview with his customary calm and confident attitude joined by Dan Johns, his general manager. “We know you were hoping to be open by now; are you disturbed by the delay of your project? “asks the reporter. “Not really,” said White. “Actually we’re excited and invigorated that we are now ready to move to full speed on the construction. The City of Rancho Santa Margarita has been splendid to work with and now everything is approved and we’re pulling out all of the stops starting on Monday.” “Our readers would love to know what’s happening in the next thirty days? Asks the reporter.
Pointing dramatically with his hand over the cavernous shell of the building White says” Within the next thirty days we plan to be cutting into these concrete floors to prepare for the installation of new plumbing and wiring. Simultaneously we’re expecting large quantities of stone to arrive. Patio stones will be placed, huge amounts of Italian stone for the wall coverings will be prepared and positioned and building a new fireplace. We’re also cutting in the supports for a huge new skylight in the roof plus redesigning and rebuilding the significantly enlarged bathrooms, “he adds. “That’s a pretty impressive construction schedule for the next thirty days,” says the reporter. “What happens after that?” “After that, “adds White, “we’ll be picking up the pace of construction even more intensely. We’ll be actually placing the skylight, and at the same time putting in the floor coverings, booths, and lighting which will take us to about sixty days from now.” “And then what happens?” Asks the reporter. ”In the final few weeks, we’ll move in with our final decorator’s touches followed by tables, chairs, glassware and utensils. We’re getting ready to set the tables soon after that” White says with a smile. “So you’re planning to actually by June of this year?” Asks the reporter. “Even sooner than that, “replies

White. “We wanted to be open by Valentines’ day, but now we plan to open by Mother’s Day. I know that sounds incredible, but this is our plan.” The reporter turns to Tutto Fresco’s general manager Dan Johns, and asks “Would you agree with that?”. Without hesitation Johns replies:” I’ve worked with Steve White for many years and if Steve says he thinks we can open by Mother’s Day, we should all call our moms and find out if they have plans for brunch that day.” Executive Chef and general manager Dan Johns adds” This new Tutto Fresco is going to be a really amazing restaurant. We’ve already hired two highly talented bartenders to make some of most trendy, unusual and tasty cocktails from around the country. We’re continuing to hire more staff, and we’re planning to add at least thirtyfive to forty-five more, which should bring our total staff to seventy-five of top restaurant professionals when we open.” “Our menu items will remain much the same fresh Italian style food and affordable prices as we have always had. But we’re adding some interesting modern touches, like more small plates, augmented with more protein, plus seasonal fish not available anywhere locally and more appetizers. We’re introducing some surprisingly unique sliders that I expect will just explode in
popularity, Many people would like to drop in for a cocktail and have a quiet meal at the bar. In addition to our core Italian dishes we will be adding some steak, and pork chops. Our customers come here to appreciate the ambience, relax and enjoy the food and the elegant family atmosphere, “he adds Steve White is a man who has spent his entire professional life in the restaurant industry. His father spent fifty- four years with the Norm’s restaurant chain. Stephen spent his early years learning every facet of operations in the highly successful Marie Callendar restaurant group. After spending another twelve years with the equally prominent Claim Jumper restaurants, he met and married the love of his life, his wife Debbie, before he ventured out on his own to open his trio of popular Tutto Fresco Italian restaurants. One of the restaurants is in Tustin, the second is in Orange, and the third, at least for the moment, is located next to the Cinepolis theatre in Rancho Santa Margarita. ‘Then White said:” As we discussed in your last story, It’s not just going to be a slightly modified menu in the same old tired surroundings, it’s going to be a totally different place that has never existed before. The new Tutto Fresco is not just going to be a nice restaurant; it’s going to be a remarkable restaurant that will be a destination instead of an afterthought.”

Anaheim DUCKS Country charity benefit for Orangewood childrens Foundation Photos by Ann Chatillon The Anaheim House of Blues played host to the Anaheim Ducks Center Ice Party with the “California Country” themed event, presented by the Klein family. Benefiting the Orangewood Foundation, over 550 guests were treated to opportunities to meet their favorite Anaheim Ducks hockey players, a performance by the Eli Young Band, authentic country western cuisine, and a live auction. The Orangewood Foundation is a provider of services to over 2,000 current and former foster youth as they transition into adulthood. The Orangewood Foundation seeks to assist its youth by providing training and goal-setting opportunities for life skills, employment, education, and housing. The Center Ice Party is one of many avenues money is raised to continue the thirty-five year mission of the Orangewood Foundation. Guests at the event were able to mingle with their favorite Anaheim Ducks like All-Stars Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. The entire team was in attendance wearing country western themed attire complete with matching numbered cowboy hats. At one point during the evening, guests were able to line dance with various Ducks and Power Players. Anaheim Ducks owners Henry and Susan Samueli were also present and greeted those in attendance. The evening featured a live, intimate performance by The Eli Young Band, a Texas based award-winning country group. The Eli Young Band has three certified number one hits, a Grammy nomination, and an Academy of Country Music award for Song of the Year. The band’s 80-minute set entertained everyone in attendance with Platinum and Double Platinum hits like “Crazy Girl” and “Even if it Breaks Your Heart.” Accenting the western theme of the evening were many authentic culinary delights provided by The House of Blues. Guests enjoyed all-you-can-eat pulled pork sliders, jalapeño pepper and cheese cornbread, bacon wrapped dates, soft pretzels with beer cheese. Deserts such as bourbon bread pudding and cheesecake were on hand to complement the full menu. Of course, a bar full of libations was on hand to wet the whistle of thirsty guests. Key avenues for raising money for The Orangewood Foundation throughout the evening were silent and live actions. The silent auction featured donated items such as gift certificates, luxurious trips, and sports memorabilia. The live auction offered guests to bid on three unique big-ticket items. The first item for country music lovers was VIP passes (including hotel accommodations) to the 2016 Stagecoach Music Festival. The second item offered to hockey enthusiasts was set of VIP tickets to the National Hockey League All-Star Weekend in Nashville, (including airfare and hotel accommodations). Finally, a bonus item was offered on-the-spot to guests: an opportunity to sit on stage during The Eli Young Band’s performance and a one-of-a-kind autographed guitar from the Anaheim Ducks. Overall, the evening could be described a complete success. Guests were entertained from start to finish with various one-of-a-kind opportunities. It was impossible to leave the evening without a story to tell. Transcending the entertainment value of the evening, and not lost during the festivities, was the opportunity to embrace and further the spirit of the Orangewood Foundation: to provide, family, opportunity, and hope.

Simple designer tricks for creating a stunning master bedroom It’s the place where you wake each day, rest your head each night, and go to when you need to escape the stress of daily life. If there’s one room in the house that should be a personalized retreat for homeowners, it’s the master bedroom. And with a few simple tips from design experts, you can easily take your master bedroom from boring to beautiful and add to your home’s overall value. “When designing a space in your home, it’s always a good idea to go through the process in a methodical way to achieve the results you want,” says Jill Winninger, Allied ASID, CID, and senior interior designer with Seaside Home in La Jolla, Calif. “Foundation, function and finishing
details make the process fun and effective.” Here is Winninger’s three-step process for creating a grand master retreat: Step 1: Foundation Start by choosing the flooring that matches your personal style and the functionality of the space. Nothing beats the comfort of carpet in a master bedroom. Carpet and a high quality pad keep floors warmer and enhance privacy by absorbing noises. Today’s top trend in carpet is super soft and silky fibers that feel luxurious when you step, lie or lounge on them. Think carpet is out because you have allergies? It’s time to think again, Numerous medical and other studies show that people who suffer from allergies and even asthma do not have to live without the comfort and softness of carpet. That’s because the dust that falls to a carpeted floor has a much stronger tendency to stay on the carpet until it is vacuumed away. Dust on hard floors, however, is stirred with every passing movement or footstep right back up into a room’s breathing space. Of course, regular maintenance is important. Frequent vacuuming with a high efficiency vacuum like the ones on the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval vacuum list, as well as periodic deep-cleanings are musts. -And, no matter what kind of floor you have, high-traffic areas should be
vacuumed daily, with less frequentlyused areas vacuumed once or twice a week. Another important foundation element is the walls. When selecting colors, select hues that work with the rest of your home’s decor so the spaces flow smoothly. You can’t go wrong with basic neutrals. Foundation details like crown molding, wainscoting or wallpaper can add a splash of personality. When deciding on foundation elements, keep in mind the focal points of the room. Is there a fireplace? A gorgeous wall of windows highlighting an exquisite view? Do you have a bed with a statement headboard that will be prominent? Highlight these focal points within your design decisions. Step 2: Function Beauty is just one part of the equation when designing a grand master bedroom. The space needs to function and suit your lifestyle. Function is particularly important when selecting furniture. Do you need storage for clothes and accessories? Do you want to hide electronics? Do you have a specific bed size? After considering your options, choose wisely and allow enough room between furniture pieces so that you can move freely. Privacy is also an important consideration. Like carpet, window treatments also help to control noise, plus they offer the added benefit of
masking -windows in the evenings and when high levels of privacy are needed. From a decorative perspective, window treatments add softness and style, critical to designing a stunning room. Step 3: Finish Some of the most important elements of master bedroom design are the details. This is where you can add a few personal touches to the space to create a truly individualized sanctuary. Start by choosing comfortable, inviting bedding, pillows and throws. Create clustered vignettes of photos or personal collections to give the space your unique stamp. Appropriately scaled art and accessories add visual interest. Remember, accessories are a good way to add splashes of color to your master bedroom. If you like a particular tone - like rich teals, ruby reds or baby blue - select a few accessories that feature that hue and strategically place them throughout the room. Accessories that feature different textures add interest and character as well. “From carpet and furniture to photos and duvet covers, creating a master retreat you’ll love is simpler than you think,” says Winninger. “Just focus on the foundation, function and finishing touches, and the result is sure to be gorgeous.”
Job Seekers: Resolve to Make a Better Impression in 2016 First impressions matter, particularly when you’re in the market for a new job. While a top notch resume and cover letter can help get your foot in the door, only you can seal the deal. The New Year is the perfect time to revamp your look for a smooth job search. Make a strong first impression at your next interview or networking event with these easy tips: • Be a good listener. What you say is just as important as being engaged when others are talking. Make good eye contact and ask questions to show you are interested in what is being said. • Anticipate the questions you will be asked so you are prepared with intelligent, confident and articulate responses. Define your strengths and weaknesses ahead of time to answer every hard question with ease. • Get a good night’s sleep the night before an important interview or convention. Not only will you look fresher and more alert in the morning, you’ll be thinking more clearly as well. • Know how to explain any gaps in your resume. If you have taken time off from your field to pursue a passion for travel, be ready to discuss this time off and explain how it has helped you professionally. • Prepare your 30-second elevator pitch to communicate your strengths and goals. You never know where a Page 14
conversation with a hiring manager may lead, so be sure to tailor it to each person you speak with so it does not sound over-rehearsed or unnatural. • The maxim often holds true that, “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” Be sure that your LinkedIn profile is up to date, showcasing all of your recent work. Connect with headhunters, friends, family, or even old classmates and coworkers to learn about opportunities you may not have heard about otherwise. • Dress to impress to be taken seriously. Denis Daly Wood, founder
The Ladera Ranch News
of Dalys1895.com, a century-old men’s luxury designer and online retailer, recommends standing out with a unique accessory for your suit, such as a stylish tie clip, tie, pocket square, or pair of cufflinks that can break the ice and start a conversation. “A unique pocket square can finish off the look of a suit or blazer, while also helping convey that you are stylish and put together. What you wear communicates a lot about your personality and who you are,” says Wood. Seek quality accessories, such as tItalian silk pocket squares, which
are handmade or Alligator Belts, Wood also reminds job seekers that outerwear and a bag may often make or break the first impression. A sophisticated briefcase, coat and winter scarf, such as the exclusive Caravaggio wool and silk men’s scarf, can give you a polished look when you’re making your entrance. In the profe s s i o nal real m , presentation matters from your social media profile to your suit and tie. For a successful job search, resolve to showcase the best version of you in the New Year.

W FAMILY FEATURES
ith so many social events that revolve around food, it’s not easy to get a fresh start on making healthy food choices. However, with a little thought and planning, you can prevent taking your body on a roller coaster ride – without having to choose between food deprivation and satisfaction. “Whether you are hosting an event or attending someone else’s celebration, planning ahead can help you stay on track,” said Mitzi Dulan, a registered dietitian and nationally recognized nutrition and wellness expert. “Having quick and simple strategies and recipes on hand makes it easy to eat well and keep you feeling great.” Put a winning plan in place to take a new look at your approach to eating smart with these tips from Dulan, who is the team nutritionist for the World Series champion Kansas City Royals.
Don’t skip meals. Although skipping breakfast may seem like a good way to cut calories, it’s a plan that can actually backfire, making you hungrier as the day wears on, and more likely to overeat or sneak unhealthy snacks. Start each day with a well-rounded breakfast to fuel your body. Apply a similar approach to events later in the day, as well. You may be tempted to skip a meal so you can enjoy the treats at a party, but chances are you’ll end up overdoing it with high-calorie indulgences, so make sure you fuel up ahead of time.
Love what you eat. Be mindful of the food you eat and make every bite count. Enjoying each delicious taste will make it easier to stick to a sensible eating plan. For the foods you do love, look for ways to make them better – better for you, that is. For example, if pizza is your weak spot, substitute a lower-calorie crust, such as Flatout Flatbread. Then choose toppings wisely to amp up the flavor while managing added fat and calories.
Eat smaller portions. When you simply must indulge, you may be surprised to hear “go ahead,” but to do so in moderation. One clever way to keep your portions small: use a tablespoon, not a serving spoon to dish out portions. Then eat slowly so your body has time to tell your brain you’re full.
Get your fill in healthy ways. Overeating often comes down to a very basic cause: hunger. Becoming more conscious of how you answer your hunger will help you stay on track. Drinking water before and during events will help to fill you up so you are less likely to consume excess calories. Snacking throughout the day can also help keep hunger at bay; several small, healthy snacks, such as a handful of nuts or trail mix, can help keep you feeling full. Also, remember to stop eating when you feel satisfied, but before you feel full. To find a Flatout Flatbread retailer near you, visit FlatoutFinder.com.

Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $603,224.14 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered
for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 In Source Logic at 702-659-7766 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address listed below for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08001800-13-1. 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.

Game Day Menus that Score Big
Even if your team isn’t playing in the big game, you can still come out a winner with a tasty viewing party recipe. Plan your menu ahead of time so you can be confident you’ll score big with a spread that leaves guests cheering long after the game has ended. These tips will help you get started with a lineup that gets your guests’ taste buds running into overtime: • Chips and dips are tailgating staples, but even they can stand a fresh twist of flavor. If you’re seeking inspiration, Hidden Valley Dip Genius can help you find a dip to pump up your menu. The online tool makes picking a hearty, savory, light or chunky dip recipe easy, allowing you to find a dip based on your occasion, mood and flavor. Visit dipgenius.com to find a new dip recipe.
• Anticipate all styles of snacking. Finger foods are ideal for grazing between plays and during commercials. Plan on serving more substantial entree-style dishes during halftime: sliders, BBQ brisket, pulled pork, soup and chili are all crowdpleasers perfect for game day. • When it comes to dessert, fussfree is the way to go. An array of cookies, brownies and dessert bars will satisfy the sweet tooth. Take your dessert table to the next level by icing your treats in team colors. Find these and more recipes for your game day celebration at hiddenvalley.com or dipgenius.com.
