One Week Only Fashion Fundraiser at South Coast Plaza to Benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters Mentorship Programs
By Kait McKay More than 110 boutiques and restaurants at South Coast Plaza are offering a 20% savings when the Angelitos Card is presented from Wednesday, October 8, 2014 through Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Angelitos de Oro, a women’s auxiliary that supports Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s High School Bigs program, has partnered once again with South Coast Plaza for the 13th Annual Angelitos Card fundraiser, where for one week in October this fashion fundraiser is held. All proceeds benefit the nonprofit, and the Card can be purchased for $60 at any South Coast Plaza concierge desk during the weeklong event. Specifically, this fundraiser benefits “High School Bigs,” a school-based program where volunteer high school “Bigs” meet with their elementary school “Littles” once a week after school, providing age-appropriate peer-to-peer mentoring. The program served 590 elementary and middle
school students in 2013, and is celebrating its 10-year anniversary this year. The nonprofit has found a significant decrease in truancy as well as increased academic performance as a result of the program. Through the fundraising efforts of Angelitos de Oro in 2013, $285,000 was raised for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. Since its inception in 1961, Angelitos de Oro has donated more than $5,000,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. A Tustin-based nonprofit organization that helps youth to realize their potential and build their futures, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County provides over 2,000 children facing adversity with professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships to change their lives for the better.

OCC Oct. 25 faculty Concert Will showcase a wide variety The 2014 Orange Coast College Faculty Dance Concert is slated for Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. in the Robert B. Moore Theatre, and will feature a wide variety of pieces performed by current OCC faculty, former students and visiting dance company Rhapsody in Taps. This year’s roster will include performances by Amythyst Fritzler, Chris Baltes, Arleen Hurtado, Jose Costas and more. Dance instructor Linda Sohl-Ellison, whose company Rhapsody in Taps will be accompanied by a live jazz band, will perform a duet with her husband Monti Ellison, who teaches African Drum Dance at Coast. Some of the other dance styles that will be represented at the annual show are burlesque, modern, tap, Latin ballet fusion, Egyptian, flamenco and ballroom. The faculty concert showcases the different styles of dance taught at OCC. “We offer this for the community and students to see what our faculty has to offer, which is pretty amazing,” said dance instructor Amelie Hunter. “We have a very talented and diverse faculty.” The show also serves as a reunion of sorts, bringing back former OCC dance students who now attend dance programs at four-year universities throughout the state, including UC Irvine, Cal State Fullerton and Long Beach State. According to Hunter, the concert is familyoriented and the vibe is high-energy. “It’s a wonderful community gathering, and it lets our students on campus know about our program. It’s going to be a fabulous show.” Tickets can be purchased in advance at a discounted rate of $10 through the Bursar’s Office at (714) 432-5599. Tickets at the door will cost $15. Page 4

Swapping ingredients and habits for healthier living When it comes to cooking, you’re always on the lookout for new recipes, easy shortcuts and ways to make familiar recipes healthier without sacrificing the great taste. If you are a health-minded cook, here are some tips to get you started: 1. Add colors to your foods - Colorful fruits and vegetables quickly decorate a traditional recipe and make food appear much more appetizing. Look for deep greens in spinach, vibrant reds in tomatoes and a rainbow of colors in peppers to add to your casseroles, lasagnas or meat dishes. 2. Swap out the plate size - It may surprise you to learn serving meals on smaller plates encourages people to eat less food. So downsize your dinner plates, and you might find your family eating the proper portions. You’ll also ensure they clean their plates! 3. Change your take-out menus to meal plans - If you have a stack of take-out menus in your home, replace them with recipes and a daily meal planner. Having a planner will help you arrange a weekly grocery shopping list and save you time and money by limiting the number of nights you eat out. 4. Flip the after-dinner routine - Instead of settling down into the couch after dinner, jump start your digestion and take a family walk around the neighborhood together. For healthy bodies, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends people work their way up to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activities per week, which can include a brisk walk (at a 15-minute mile pace).
5. Vary the ingredients - If you already have family-favorite recipes, look them over to see if there are ways to swap healthier ingredients in place of others. For example, corn oil can help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol more than extra virgin olive oil, according to a recent study sponsored in part by ACH Food Companies, Inc. which sells Mazola(C) Corn Oil. The research found plant sterols, which are naturally present in corn oil, have heart healthy benefits such as preventing the absorption of cholesterol in the body. Corn oil contains more cholesterol-blocking plant sterols than other cooking oils, making it a healthier swap for your favorite recipes. If you’re looking for a new delicious recipe that uses corn oil, check out this Kick’N Chicken recipe: Kick’N Chicken with Mango Salsa Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (one pound total) 2 tablespoons Weber Kick’N Chicken Seasoning 1/4 cup Mazola(C) Corn Oil 3 tablespoons fresh lemon or lime juice Mango Pepper Salsa 2 cups diced fresh mango, 1/4-inch dice 1 cup diced red bell pepper, 1/4-inch dice 3 tablespoons minced red onion 1 tablespoon minced jalapeno pepper 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice 2 tablespoons minced, fresh cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste Instructions: Preheat grill to medium heat, or between 350 to 450 F. Trim excess fat from chicken, rinse and pat dry using paper towels. If necessary, pound chicken to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a mallet, rolling pin or cast iron skillet (this will ensure the chicken cooks evenly). Place chicken into a 1-gallon size resealable plastic bag. Add seasoning, oil and lemon juice to the bag. Seal bag and turn to thoroughly coat chicken. Grill chicken over direct high heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn chicken and continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes until cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken to a serving plate. Combine salsa ingredients in a bowl; stir and season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.) Top grilled chicken with mango salsa and serve immediately. Recipe tip: Try slicing the chicken onto warm, low-fat tortillas, top with mango salsa and crumbled queso fresco cheese for delicious spicy chicken wraps.

LOCAL DENtiSt DR. MiCHAEL tESSiER OffERS COMPLiMENtARY SECOND OPiNiON ON DENtAL DiAGNOSES Two ladies came in last week. Their stories were similar. Both were new to the area, each went to a new dentist, each was told that she needed a Dr. Michael Tessier relatively large amount of dental work (one of the ladies said the estimate was $10,000), even though they each had been going to their dentist regularly for years. So, totally independently, they came in to see me to get their teeth cleaned and for a thorough comprehensive examination and second opinion. We did a full set of x-rays on each, checked gum health, took photographs, and checked for cancer. They were both in great shape, dentally, and just needed a maintenance visit. It does happen that patients come in needing a very expensive treatment plan to get their mouths back to a healthy state. Maybe times were tough and money was scarce, or they couldn’t get time off from work, or they didn’t have dental insurance (more on that in a moment), or they didn’t have a dentist they could trust. I did have a lady bring her children in once who’d taken them to see the dentist within the six months before moving here. Each of the children had pretty significant decay- eight and twelve
cavities each , several of which I could see without even putting a mirror in their mouth. Mom was understandably upset with what I told her and took the children to another dentist, who confirmed my diagnosis. She brought them back, and we got everything squared away to mom’s satisfaction. The point is, if something doesn’t sound right, or you don’t understand it, please get a second opinion. We see patients with questions all the time, those consultations are complimentary, and we’re glad to help out. Now, a word on dental insurance. Not all dental insurance coverage is good, coverage isn’t all the same, some companies aren’t easy to work with, and some people just don’t need dental insurance. They might end up paying more in “co-pay” and premium than they would if they just got done what needed to be done when needed. And, we offer “Care Credit”, which is effectively a credit card for dental work (doesn’t work at Nordstrom’s) that allows you to pay off a charge for dental work over twelve months without interest. So, if you or someone you know has a question about their dental needs, or would benefit from a complimentary consultation appointment, please don’t hesitate to call my office. The number is 949-459-7212, and the office is located at the intersection of Oso and Antonio Parkways, down the walk from Starbucks and the car wash at 28562 Oso Parkway.

LAGUNA ART MUSEUM HONORS PETER ALEXANDER WITH THE CALIFORNIA AR T AWARD On September 27, Laguna Art Museum honored seminal light and space artist Peter Alexander with the California Art Award at an exclusive dinner at the museum. The award, now in its third year, recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to California art, nationally and internationally. Since the 1960s Alexander has been one of the state’s most consistently inventive, versatile, and intelligent artists. He is recognized nationally and internationally for his mastery of nontraditional sculptural materials, his feeling for subtle effects of light, and the leading role he has played in the quintessentially Californian Light and Space movement. The museum was delighted to pay tribute to one of Southern California’s titans of sculpture and painting. The event featured a special exhibition of some of Alexander’s recent works representing especially his resin pieces of the last four years. Over the years, Laguna Art Museum has obtained a strong group of works representing Alexander’s career, including most recently the resin cube Perrino. Born in 1939, Alexander grew up in Southern California, enjoying the pastoral landscape and beaches in Newport Beach and learning to surf at the age of 13. After studying archi-
tecture for several years, he shifted his course to art in the mid-1960s and began creating sculptures using novel materials. Resin became an absorbing medium, discovered by accident as a small hardened pool in a Dixie cup while repairing a surfboard. The material was full of potential in its liquid form and he experimented with it thoroughly. He exploited the transparent, reflective, and colorful properties of plastics and resins to make objects that respond to the particular atmospheric conditions of the rooms in which they are displayed. He created boxes containing a world-within of a cloud-filled sky and the experience of a sun drenched ocean underwater. His wedges were inspired from a plane ride, viewing the ocean from above. He was struck by the ocean’s shifting colors in depth, ultimately receding to the shore. However, Alexander was never bound by his medium. Giving up resin completely in 1972 because of its toxicity, he embraced painting and drawing without irony, depicting landscapes and seascapes. He revisited his skills as a draftsman and captured the silky elegance of sleeping cats. Despite the stigma of the “Tijuana parking lot syndrome,” he embraced velvet painting simply because it was such a beautiful material. The richest of blacks and the possibility to suggest sparkling light drew him to work with
the plush fabric. Alexander’s exploration with velvet paintings led him to another series of paintings on canvas of the most remarkable nocturnal images of Los Angeles—essentially paintings of light emerging from the night. Century (1989) captures the inconsistently lit grid of lights, which blurs with the low fog and misty atmosphere. In 2005, Alexander began working with resin again. With a newer synthetic resin on the market, the medium became friendlier to use and in some cases offered enriched colors. This led to a deeper interest
in color experiments with varying hues. In Alexander’s studio today, baking racks are stacked with luscious swatches of color. Molds for his resin sculptures rest in anticipation of new work. There is a constant hum of production. Alexander’s work continues to resonate and offer great pleasure for his viewers. MUSEUM INFORMATION Laguna Art Museum is located at 307 Cliff Drive in Laguna Beach. For more information call 949.494.8971 or go to our website www.LagunaArtMuseum.org
America’s Thirst for Wine Insatiable, Despite Rise of Cocktails, Craft Beer HAPPY GRAPES
By David White Wine industry executives are worried about the growing interest in craft beer and spirits from America’s 20- and 30-somethings. That’s one takeaway from a fascinating new survey of the wine industry’s top executives by Robert Smiley, dean and professor emeritus at the University of California Davis Graduate School of Management. Smiley’s survey is conducted each year and always generates headlines, since Smiley is able to connect with some of wine’s heaviest hitters. This year, for instance, senior executives at E&J Gallo, The Wine Group, and Constellation Brands participated. The nation’s three largest wine companies, these firms account for nearly half the wine sold in the United States. Worrying about America’s 75 million
millennials makes sense. But fearing millennials’ interest in craft beer and spirits is misguided. America’s thirst for wine appears insatiable. Last year, the nation consumed 892 million gallons of wine, a 40 percent increase from just ten years ago. The United States consumes more wine than any other nation in the world, and one in four adults drinks wine regularly. This trend shows no sign of slowing. In Smiley’s survey, many executives were excited about these numbers and the interest they’re seeing from young consumers. “We find that the millennials are fabulous,” said one participant (the responses were unattributed). “They’re adopting wine at a faster pace and they’re a different type of consumer than we’ve seen in the past.” But many fretted about other alcoholic beverages. Smiley asked executives how their branding strategies ensured “competitiveness in the growing market of craft beers and cocktails.” “Spirits are going to intrude onto the dining room table,” said one executive, “and the mixologist is going to be working with the chef to do cocktails that are paired with foods.” Noted another, “I’m worried about
it, in that it’s sort of a share of stomach issue.” These concerns ignore America’s changing food and drinks culture. Researchers at the Beverage Information Group recently examined American drinking habits from 2001 to 2011. While they found that liquid consumption is a zero-sum game, Americans are willing to replace nonalcoholic beverages with alcoholic ones. Indeed, consumers are abandoning juice, soft drinks, milk, and cheap light beer and embracing bottled water, tea, wine, and spirits. This shift makes sense. In the 1950s and 60s, Coca-Cola was synonymous with American culture. Today’s youngest consumers grew up alongside Starbucks, so they’ve always been comfortable with bitter beverages. Food preferences are also changing. The high-end steakhouses and fastfood burger joints of yesteryear are being replaced with farm-to-table restaurants and designer salad shops. Put simply, younger consumers are eating and drinking adventurously. This bodes well for the wine industry. Today’s consumers have more access to more wines from more places than ever before. Consider that an average upscale supermarket
now carries more than 1,500 wine selections, a number that dwarfs the variety of breakfast cereals. Those who are interested in craft beer and small-batch spirits are willing to explore the unknown. Wine offers infinite choices. Global wine brands do have some reason to worry. As one executive noted, “younger consumers in particular are interested in authenticity and it seems to me that the craft beer and craft spirits business looks a lot more like the wine business these days.” But that concern has nothing to do with craft beer and spirits per se. Rather, as consumers think more critically about consumption, purchases will shift away from huge producers who churn out industrialized, soulless wines and toward small wineries, unheralded wine regions, and esoteric grapes. That’s a good thing. Dinner tables across the country will certainly have more room for craft beer and cocktails in the years ahead. But wine will also be there. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

2014 Fall Winter Trends in Men’s Clothing Although we are only leaving the summer season, and are still wearing our flip flops and shorts, the menswear fashion industry is amping up the excitement for the trends and hit list items that are enthused into the fall and winter season. Now is the time to soak up the sun in your swim trunks, but take some time to go over the changes that your wardrobe is bound to experience when the colder months cloud over the calendar. These are the hot list items that will dominate the menswear fashion industry as soon as the warm weather sunshine sets sail. Color Trend: Green is In While the leaves will be dropping the green hues right to the ground, menswear is picking it right back up in the fall and winter trends. Designers have added all kinds of dark, leafy greens into their showpieces that have strutted down the catwalks. It’s a sultry shade that is extremely easy to wear. Color Trend: Orange Leaves Aren’t Going Anywhere Just as the green drops the trees to add in some orange hues, so does menswear fashion trends. Bold oranges are making their mark in the fall and winter season trends while also filling the skies. This tone is the epitome of fall colors and there’s no better time to throw in an occasional burst of vibrant tones into your wardrobe. Color Trend: Monochrome Madness Speaking of Michael Jackson, black and white is not going anywhere for the fall and winter season. Monochrome looks are prominent in the fashion for the colder months of the year. So, whether you’re wearing a black suit with white trims or a black and white dress shirt, it’s the easiest way to achieve a sleek and sophisticated look. Color Trend: Camel For the days where you are in need of a neutral kind of flavor, stick with camel. Goodbye burgundies for this fall season. Climb on the camel trend to enjoy a new tone that
Page 8
isn’t commonly amongst the hot list items. Everything from accessories to jackets, details and peacoats are indulging in this elegant hue of fashion. Michael Jackson Slacks While this isn’t the technical name for this fall/winter trend, it is definitely something you’ll want to step your legs into. Slim slacks that are cropped around the ankle are the pair to wear. Gone are the never-trending Gangster-baggy jeans, and you won’t have to squeeze into the women’s section of skinny jeans. Now, menswear has their own trend of slim slacks that have a bit of a 1060′s inspiration. Outerwear Gets Rainy The rainy days aren’t gone just yet, so don’t trade in your raincoats for winter puffer jackets just yet. All outerwear for the fall and winter
season are relaxed and far less structured but have sharp shoulders that lead down to Raglan sleeves, which means the seam travels diagonally down from your neck to your armpit, (varsity jackets have this). These styles are sleek, simple and completely timeless. Boxy Man Bags If you’re a guy who appreciates a good man bag, you’ll be happy to learn that they’re part of the hottest items for the fall and winter season this year. Whether you like your man bag for the gym, traveling or for the office, keep it box-structured and big. The size and shape are always perfect for packing in everything that you need. Covering Up The Neck It has been a long time since neckcovering styles of shirts have been trending, but this fall and winter are bringing it back. Rollnecks are most popular in London, but the world is eagerly indulging in this unique trend. Whether it is a big knit fisherman’s sweater, or a rollneck under your suit, you need to add some of these into your wardrobe. Winter Jackets are Quilted It can get pretty chilly at night, and
The Ladera Ranch News
designers have been eating up the quilting trend to keep you warm and your fashion on point for the winter. Other than geometric patterns and quilted elements, winter jackets will be down-filled or slimmer versions of the puffer coats. Mix and Matching You are bound to see a total mixture of all kinds of details within menswear fashion – multi-colors, patterns, knits, quilts, embroidered – all kinds of things. Brown Tie Event, Anyone? Whoever said that you had to wear black to a black tie event clearly didn’t experience the 2014 fall and winter season trends because it is all about rocking some brown in your evening wear. You’ll see a lot of male celebrities sporting brown down the red carpet, whether it is worn as a standout appeal or as a full tux or suit. Favorite a Fedora If there is any accessory that you need to get your hands on for the next season, it is definitely a felt fedora. If you put it on your head and you look like an old school gangster, you’ve nailed it. They’re also a practical fashion item. Biker Boy Attitude The spring and summer season is full of collar-less jackets that have a jock appeal, but come the fall and winter, it’s all about that bad ass biker attitude. Classic black jackets are always timeless, but this year’s trends are encouraging you to play with some color for your biker boy style. Slipping into Skinny Just like the Michael Jackson slacks, everything else is getting a little more slender. The oversized
trend is so over, and any sophisticated and stylish man knows that oversized clothing is never a good thing. It’s all about fitted and slender for all kinds of items, whether it is trousers or blazers, dress shirts or sweaters. Fur is Always Fall Whether you’re rocking some faux fur or real fur, get on it because there is no better season to rock this trend than fall. Fur trim, fur boots, fur hat, fur coat if it has some fur on it, get it. As long as it is done correctly, the fur fashion look can be high class instead of trash. Checks and Camos Check mate. Checks are never going to go anywhere within fashion. Everything from tweed, tailoring, the odd knit and even outerwear indulges in the check from time to time, and especially during this fall and winter. Camo is also coming back strong, and as long as done correctly, you can look like a successful gentleman and not a dirty country bumpkin.

A festive poolside cocktail reception and gourmet dinner in the Terrace Pavilion featured a bounty of surprises for St.Clair, including performances by Pacific Symphony musicians, the John Alexander Singers and music by the maestro’s mentor, Leonard Bernstein. The evening, presented by South Coast Plaza, raised more than $150,000 to support the Symphony’s artistic and education programs. The sunlit reception began; guests lounged and mingled poolside, sipping champagne and wine and enjoying tray-passed hors d’oeuvres and live music by guitarist Eric Henderson. The appetizers included bite-sized, tangerineglazed seared ahi tuna on wonton chips, sugar snap peas filled with curried chicken salad, and papaya and lump crab salad on English cucumber. Guests were also invited to enter an opportunity drawing for a chance to win one of 54 commemorative bottles of Far Niente wine, etched with a special anniversary logo, or one of the four grand prizes: a $1,500 South Coast Plaza gift certificate with complimentary valet parking for one year; “James Bond for a Day,” which featured a 24-hour use of an Aston Martin; “A Westin Staycation” that included two Box-Circle tickets to a Pacific Symphony classical concert and a one-night weekend stay for two at the Westin South Coast Plaza; and a “St. Regis Unwind and Dine” with one couple’s massage at Spa Gaucin and a dinner for two at Stonehill Tavern. Inside the Terrace Pavilion, photos of significant moments throughout St.Clair’s career bordered the walls and a silver backdrop gave way to a stage. Symphony Board Chair Michael Kerr extended a warm welcome and sincere thank you to St.Clair, which was followed by a prayer given by Orange County Bishop Kevin Vann. Guests in the crowd then said “cheers” as they raised their glasses in honor of St.Clair. John Alexander, artistic director of Pacific Chorale, surprised his colleague and friend, St.Clair, as 12 members of the John Alexander Singers entered to sing works by Bernstein. The menu for the evening started with a wedge salad composed of hearts of romaine, stilton cheese, mendjool dates and dried cherries dressed with port vinaigrette and parmesan focaccia crostini. Following the salad, whole roasted beef tenderloin was served with roasted cippollini onions, chive risotto, roasted seasonal vegetables and black truffle jus. The reception ended on a sweet note, with a flourless chocolate caramel crunch cake with raspberries and blueberries with passion fruit coulis, and during dessert, Steve Perry (husband of Susie Segerstrom Perry), read a heartfelt letter of appreciation from Sandy Daniels on behalf of the Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation. Other guests in attendance and recognized from the podium included: Segerstrom Center for the Arts President Terry Dwyer, President and CEO of Pacific Chorale Elizabeth Pearson, President and Artistic Director of the Philharmonic Society John Mangum, Symphony Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, Executive Director of the National Symphony of Costa Rica Guillermo Madriz, composer Christopher Rouse, Hollywood film composer James Newton Howard, Dean of USC Thornton School of Music Robert Cutietta, Chapman University President James Doti and Cal State Fullerton President Mildred Garcia. At the dinner’s conclusion, guests proceeded along a walkway lit with silver and white floating candles and tall white pillar candles in silver lanterns, headed to the Opening Night concert in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Following the performance, guests strolled back to The Westin to attend the post-concert reception, which was filled with more sweet desserts including macaroons, cakes and savory puddings, accompanied by coffee, champagne, wines and soft drinks.

Uber-cool gift ideas for kids going to - and back to - college Graduation season is over, but families with college-bound teens know the gift-giving season is still in full swing. Whether you’re looking for a gift that will ease the transition for a new college freshman or something to milestone the beginning of a senior’s final year, choosing a back-to-school gift can be every bit as important as selecting a graduation gift. A back-to-school gift is also your opportunity to demonstrate your ubercoolness, and pick something that will entertain, delight and empower your college kid. From items that will dress up any dorm, such as a removable wallpaper mural, to ones that will help them stay healthy, like an ergonomic backpack, back-to-school gifts need to be smart and exciting. Here are four gifts ideas that are sure to be both useful and enjoyable for college kids heading back to school this fall: 1. Dorm-dazzling decor - Despite fairly recent efforts by some schools to make dorms more appealing, dorm rooms are still hardly a decorator’s dream canvas. Bright, cheerful bedding can help add personality and comfort, but the walls are the biggest workable space for decorating, and often they start out bland. Painting is out of the question, so rock band posters have long been a staple of college dorm decor. For wall decor
that really rocks, however, consider giving the college student in your life a creative teen mural from Murals Your Way that clings to virtually any flat surface using space-age technology and no adhesives of any kind. You can choose from a wide range of sizes and scenes, from a full wall cityscape to a window-sized sports theme. You can even customize a mural so your college student can decorate her dorm with an image of friends, family or a favorite memory from high school. Log on to www. muralsyourway.com/ to learn more and view available images. 2. Super storage - Sure, a dresser or bureau will probably come with the dorm room, and if he’s lucky he may even have a wallet-sized closet. But college kids have a lot of stuff to store throughout the school year. Creative storage solutions that are functional and fun can be a great gift. Whether it’s a pocket sleeve that fits over the back of a standard desk chair to hold those items she needs at her fingertips, or an over-the-door shoe rack to keep all his athletic shoes off the floor, your storage gift can help a college kid stay organized. If the dorm room is big enough, consider storage that can do double-duty as extra seating, such as a foot locker. For smaller rooms, look for solutions
that get stuff up off the floor, like cork boards for assignments and jewelry. 3. Safer technology solutions - It’s probably safe to say there’s no such thing as a totally tech-free college kid anymore. Laptops, tablets, smartphones and desktop PCs are all important tools for both school work and fun. Your college student probably already has his favorite mobile device in hand, but you can help him protect it with safety solutions designed specifically for use in college. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for your student’s favorite device, and give her hardware specifically designed to deter theft, such as an alarm, security plate or cable lock. Ensure that even if his laptop does get lost or stolen, he won’t lose all his data
by giving him a year’s subscription to an online backup service. 4. Better backpacking - A backpack is as much a staple of college life as heavy books and lots of studying. Overloaded backpacks, however, can cause back pain. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons recommends limiting the heft of backpack contents to no more than 10 to 15 percent of the carrier’s body weight, but most college kids carry much more than that. Look for a backpack that’s designed to redistribute the weight of contents to minimize strain on the wearer’s back and shoulders. Fortunately, it’s easy to find plenty of good-looking, backfriendly backpack options, both in stores and online.
THE ADAPTABLE APPLE Tempted to take the family apple picking? Wondering what you’ll do with all those apples? Did you know when European colonists arrived in North America, there were only wild crab apple trees? Today there are hundreds of commercial varieties— many originally brought by Dutch and English settlers—from tart-crisp to sweet-succulent. The legendary Johnny Appleseed can be credited for spreading apple production by creating nurseries. The most popular varieties today are Red and Golden Delicious, Gala, Fuji and Granny Smith. While apples are grown in every state in the Continental US, Washington is the top producer. Best of all, the apple is one of nature’s powerhouse foods, chock full of nutrients, vitamins, and fiber. So much so that the old adage “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” is sage advice, since a balanced diet that includes lots of apples can keep your immune system strong.

Three easy tips for cooking with kids Once temperatures start to drop, keeping kids active can be a difficult task as weekends migrate away from park visits and Little League games to more time spent indoors. Luckily, there are plenty of things you can do in your own home to keep children engaged and help limit their video game and TV time. One of those things is cooking together, which reinforces math, science and reading comprehension skills while building great memories. Keep your household free of the winter blues by following these simple steps to a successful and fun time
with kids in the kitchen: Establish good habits Set good habits for your children by teaching them to wash their hands before, during and after cooking. Kidfriendly tools, like a small step stool or high-tech faucet, can help make reinforcing these habits even easier. Let your little sous-chefs know that they should wash their hands with soap and warm water for 20 seconds, by helping them count or singing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. Remember to set a good example by washing your own hands before and after eating and during the cooking

On October 31, 2014 at 09:00 AM, on the front steps to the entrance of the Orange Civic Center, 300 E. Chapman, Orange, CA 92866, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust recorded on February 22, 2007, as Instrument No. 2007000115189, of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, executed by JAYNE CRAMER, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN , as Trustor(s), in favor of ING BANK, FSB as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 2 DELPHINIUM STREET UNIT 40, LADERA RANCH, CA 92694 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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 $572,785.89 (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.

process, as needed. A Delta kitchen faucet featuring Touch2O Technology makes it easy to turn on and off the water with a simple tap anywhere on the faucet. Use the handle to set the water at a comfortable temperature for kids to lather up. When hands are messy, the back of a hand or forearm can be used to help keep the faucet clean and reduce the concern regarding mess or cross-contamination. “As a lifestyle expert and baking connoisseur, I spend so much time in the kitchen and I’m always looking for ways to simplify things, especially when I have my son by my side,” says Melissa Johnson, mother and founder of the popular lifestyle site, Best Friends for Frosting. “Touch2O Technology has made teaching my son the importance of washing his hands easier and lends a helping hand throughout the cooking process.” Different stages for different ages Understanding which tasks your child is capable of doing is important. Children under 5 years old enjoy observing how recipes are compiled and can help out with small tasks like setting the table, while schoolage children can strengthen their math skills as they help combine
ingredients for recipes and practice cooking basics, like cracking an egg. This stage is a great time to introduce the importance of choosing nutritious ingredients for everyday cooking, which can help lay the groundwork for a healthy lifestyle. Tap teenagers for help by encouraging them to choose the menu or explore new and exciting cuisines. Timing is everything Avoiding a tight schedule is important. Instead of involving children in the dinner rush, enlist their help on a weekend afternoon when there is plenty of time for questions, experiments or careful demonstrations. Choose a time when everyone is well-rested and not easily frustrated. Plan ahead when deciding what recipe you will cook together. For younger kids, consider starting with a simple dish that has fewer than five ingredients like a fruit salad or an easy muffin recipe. A pizza assembly line allows children to show their creativity by choosing their own minicrusts, sauces, cheese and toppings.
