1 3 B e a u t y R es o lu t i o n s for 2013
Maintaining that radiant and healthy glow year round is much easier with the right beauty regimen. Great skin is a result of a healthy diet and good lifestyle habits, but you can make your skin look even better with the right set of beauty products - and a few makeup tricks. Whether you’re trying to camouflage dark circles under the eyes, want your skin to have a more even tone, or just want to brighten up your complexion, a few small tweaks to your daily beauty routine could be all it takes to improve your skin from inside out. Get the New Year off to a great start with a skincare, makeup, and beauty makeover.
Here are 13 beauty resolutions you can make for 2013: #1: Drink More Water Dehydration will make your skin look dull and can even interfere with the skin’s natural healing and repair process. Make sure you’re drinking at least 8 to 10 cups of water every day. Carry a water bottle around with you to get your daily dose of H20 - your skin will show it. #2: Wash Off Makeup Before Bed Board Certified Dermatologist and Dermatological Surgeon Dr. Dennis Gross points out that makeup left
R
on overnight can end up sinking deep into the pores while we sleep. This can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Make sure you’re washing off all traces of makeup with a good cleanser every single night. #3: Use an Eye Cream at Night Lines and wrinkles around your eyes can give away your age. Use a rich, hydrating eye cream as part of your nighttime skin regimen. One of my all-time favorites is the Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair. This is a super-rich formula that helps to nourish and hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes. #4: Wash Makeup Brushes Once a Week Put this one on your calendar if you have to. Makeup brushes can collect all sorts of dust, bacteria, and grime with regular use - even if you cover them up after using them. Don’t let mold and bacteria develop in those bristles by washing all of your makeup tools at least once a week. Board Certified Dermatologist Dr. Jessica Wu says that washing makeup brushes regularly can prevent clogged pores, infections, and other skin problems. #5: Apply Sunscreen Every Day If your makeup doesn’t have sunscreen in it, make sure you’re using a primer or moisturizer infused with sunscreen. Ward off sun damage - even during the winter months - by protecting your skin with that layer of SPF-infused products. #6: Clean the Cell Phone If you find yourself cradling your cell phone to your face more often than not, you are probably dumping bacteria from the phone right into your
pores. Clean off your cell phone with a good cleaning kit and get in the habit of wiping it down with an antibacterial solution at least once a week. Your skin will thank you. #7: Pick a Good Primer If you still haven’t jumped on the primer bandwagon, make 2013 the year you add it to your beauty regimen. A good primer will create a perfect canvas for any type of makeup you apply, and can be especially effective for camouflaging rough spots, acne scars, and other skin imperfections. Invest in a good primer that will minimize pores and create that smooth surface you need for a flawless look. #8: Use the Right Makeup Brushes How often do you apply makeup with your fingertips instead of a brush? If you want to achieve that picture-perfect look, make sure you’re using the right types of makeup brushes for different products. Take a few minutes to learn about the purpose of different types of brushes and make some room in your beauty budget for a set of high-quality brushes. #9: Stop Over Plucking Eyebrows As tempting as it is to pluck away those stray hairs and make attempts to sculpt those brows, leave this task to a professional whenever possible. Have your eyebrows shaped and waxed by a pro to achieve that perfect arch. Or, try eyebrow threading this year. Threading can be especially effective for sculpting and shaping brows with more precision. If you do want to take care of your brows on your own, use a stencil included in
the Anastasia Beverly Hills All-in-One Brow Kit so you don’t over pluck. #10: Use a Heat Protectant Spray Before Styling Keep heat damage at bay when drying and styling your hair with heated styling tools by using a good heat protectant spray. Just a few spritzes of a spray is all you need to coat those strands with some heatrepelling compounds. Stop damaging your hair with the right set of heat styling products for your hair type. #11: Manage Stress Better Everything from acne and rosacea, to white spots and psoriasis can be linked to high stress levels, according to some skin experts. If you have frequent flare ups and skin problems, too much stress in your life could be to blame. Find ways to reduce stress for healthier skin this year. #12: Stick with a Sweat-Inducing Workout Routine Stick with a good sweating routine so you can help your skin cleanse itself naturally. Director of Training and Education at Dermalogica Annette King says that increasing your body’s circulation also boosts the detoxification process and promotes cell renewal. Your skin will look and feel better for days after a workout. #13: Get Enough Sleep A good night’s rest could help you look younger, so don’t compromise on that sleep schedule - no matter how busy your day may be. Getting enough shuteye each night ensures your body can repair and restore itself properly. Your skin will heal and restore itself from the day’s stressors during your deep sleep cycle.

Dropwaist Dress The dropwaist dress was a spring 2013 trend that has been carried into the fall. Personally, I love drop waist dresses because it can conceal a little bit of extra in the stomach. At the same time, it can show off tan summer legs. For cooler days, it can be paired with tights and some ankle boots. For fall, try a long sleeved version in a fun print like this one from Dolce Vita.

Have some fun with fashion while being a responsible consumer. Instead of blowing your money on a standard pair of boots, or a single look coat, consider these versatile chic pieces. Aside from taking what you own and trying it in a fresh new way such as wearing jewelry in your hair or as an anklet or belt. You can incorporate something designed to be worn several different ways. Reversible cape: A reversible cape is a fun way to extend your winter outerwear dollar. If you cannot decide between a basic color that goes with everything and a shocking pattern that makes you smile, get both in one. The usefulness of a swingy cape extends from season to season making a Spirithoods Phoenix Cape a good overall choice. Convertible tights: I will admit to not knowing what this term meant until I went shopping for my daughter’s new ballet school attire. Convertible tights were on the list. “What does that mean?” I asked the sales clerk. She walked me over to the rack and pulled out a pair of baby doll pink tights with a nifty toe pocket and explained that they can be worn as regular tights, or folded back into footless leggings. While I do not plan on wearing baby doll pink tights, I suddenly need a pair of convertible tights by Spanx of course. Might as well enjoy some figure flattering perks while I am at it. Convertible dress: You may know how to wear a convertible dress like
this one by Tommy Bahama as a strapless dress or a fold over skirt, but have you tried layering the strapless look over a form-fitting long sleeved shirt? I recently saw a girl doing just that. She wore a basic black jersey knit dress over a white blouse. The stunning ensemble included a pair of knee high boots and a long pendant necklace. Long, lean and easy to wear several different ways
makes a convertible dress worth the investment. Convertible boots: Speaking of knee high boots, I wonder if her boots were convertible as well. Look for a pair of slouchy boots that can be worn up or down, or these fun 3 in 1 Sherpa Convertible boots. Wear tall and tailored, scrunched around your ankles or folded over and furry, there are so many options.

local dentist Michael tessier says avoiding tooth decay is getting easier than ever Before Years ago some of the reasons people gave for not having the cavities in our teeth filled were:” the “shot”, the “the “drill”, the “numbness”, the pain” Dr. Michael Tessier associated with old-time dentistry. But, by using the Whisper Jet, a micro miniature sandblaster using 50 micron-size particles of aluminum oxide, and the Waterlase MD Laser, we get your fillings completed without anesthetic, and with no pain, because of today’s technology, Remembering that the decay process starts with acid-induced demineralization of the enamel of the teeth, here are some ways to avoid the need for dental work: Go to the dentist every six monthsfrequent visits help avoid big problems. Avoid industrially-manufactured foods, like chips or cookies or crackers. Instead, or after, eat raw carrots, celery or apples. Real foods have larger, fibrous particles which actually clean decay-producing sugars off the teeth). Avoid soft drinks, sweetened or otherwise. Instead, drink water, fluoridated or not. Chew sugarless gum. This stimulates acid-neutralizing saliva which counteracts the acidic end-products of bacterial metabolism that cause decay, and mechanically cleans the teeth.
Brush properly with fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily. That little point contact where adjacent teeth touch each other is not accessible to a toothbrush bristle. Remember, you only have to floss the ones you want to keep. By the way, there’s a significant link between the phosphoric acid used as a preservative in dark soft drinks and Alzheimer’s. Another reason to avoid them. We recently found a hard candy that’s sweetened with a Xylitol that coats the teeth with a decay-reducing micro-film. Something like fifteen flavors, no aftertaste. Good Stuff. There is a genetic pre-disposition to susceptibility to decay. Some people get cavities irrespective of how well they take care of their teeth; some people don’t take care of their teeth at all, and still never get cavities. It isn’t necessarily fair (how much in life is?), but the above can help. “The more I work with the laser and the sandblaster, filling teeth without the need for drilling and therefore anesthetic, the more I realize how much dentistry has changed over the last 30 years. When the drill and the carbide burr were our only cutting options, we made it more likely that, in their later adult hood, these teeth would crack, ultimately needing crowns. Today, we’re leaving these teeth stronger. This stuff is great,” he says with a smile. Dr. Michael Tessier is located in Los Flores Plaza at 28562 Oso Parkway. Most major credit cards and dental plans cheerfully accepted. Telephone (949) 459-7212

A u g u s t i s Immu n i zati on awa re ne s s month Okay, now that I have your attention… The truth is, none of us likes getting shots. It is especially frightening and can be uncomfortable for small children (and even us bigger babies!). But getting both yourself and your child properly immunized is an important decision for the safety and welfare of yourself, child or loved ones says Fire Chief Sam DiGiovanna. “Vaccinations are essential to decreasing the risks of serious diseases and infections.” “These vaccines not only help keep us safe and healthier, but they also help stop the spread of deadly, preventable diseases Chief DiGiovanna reminds us.” August is National Immunization Awareness Month. Emergency physicians see patients every day who are not appropriately immunized. ACEP recognizes that vaccine-preventable infectious diseases have an effect on the health of adults and children. School is beginning and this is a great time for “all” of us to go get an immunization to avoid certain illnesses. The nation’s emergency physicians urge all parents
and guardians to work with their primary care physicians, including pediatricians, to make sure everyone in their family is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations and to set up a vaccination schedule. Come on, a little shot or exposure to a serious illness? Easy to answer this! For additional information visit: http://healthfinder.gov/nho/PDFs/ AugustNHOtoolkit.pdf

WATCH FINE ART MEET HIGH FASHION IN LAGUNA BEACH ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 31 Festival of Arts Partners with Arbonne for Festival Runway Fashion Show One of last summer’s most popular events “FESTIVAL RUNWAY FASHION” returns Saturday, August 31 to the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, California. The festival, a Southern California staple in the arts and culture scene, features the work of 140 award-winning artists from Orange County. But on this one and only day, some of these fine artists will make fashion their medium – competing to create the most inspired couture using reclaimed, reused or recycled materials. This year’s event is sponsored by Arbonne, the unparalleled botanically based beauty and wellness brand. The show is in its fifth year and offers cash prizes of $1,000 in four categories: Most Creative Concept, Most Exciting Ensemble, Most Innovative Use of Materials and Most Glamorous & Elegant “Red Carpet” worthy creation. There will also be a “People’s Choice Award” (sans monetary prize) to be voted on at the event. “This fashion show emphasizes inventiveness and creativity in the name of the environment in the most fun way! At Arbonne, we are all about being green - from botanically based ingredients to forwardlooking green improvements – so being earth friendly has everything to do with who we are and how we choose to grow. This is an excellent way to bring our initiatives to light,” says Arbonne Senior Vice President and Chief Creative Officer, Michael D’Arminio, who will open the show by taking the runway in a special Arbonne branded suit. The exclusive attire features
a bespoke jacket and pants with a repeated custom print of the grassgreen Arbonne logo, designed by Arbonne’s Creative Director Arlette Madenlian. This special fashion contest event requires that artists’ garments be 80 percent or more of recycled materials. Festival artists then compete for the best design and execution in front of a panel of judges by walking the runway. Among the judges will be Arbonne CEO Kay Napier, alongside celebrity stylist guest judge, Steven “Cojo” Cojocaru, Celebrity Fashion Critic known for his “Best and Worst Dressed” lists. The event will be hosted by Christos Garkinos from Bravo’s “Dukes of Melrose”. Competing artists include W.

5 Minute Fashion: How to Amp Up the Glam Quick Fashion Tips for Moms Being a busy mom can often be a fashion recipe for disaster, but it doesn’t have to be. The following must haves can have you runway (or PTA) ready in five. Trench Coat A trench coat can be a lifesaver. When it comes to the bus-stop or that little league game, you can go from zero to flawless by just covering up and belting! Paired with our next wardrobe star, you can’t go wrong.
them. Dress them up with a heel or go casual. Whatever you decide, these jeans will be your go-to throughout the seasons. Chunky Style Shoes with a Lift In the name of comfort, I often go chunky. Try a wedge, a platform, or a sturdier type rubber sole when you are stepping out . To these options, add a little height. There is just something dressier about a bit of heel and these options will always keep you balanced as you are shuffling through activities. In the summer, this strategy can transform your shorts or sundresses into something just a bit more special. For the winter and fall, I have a pair of boots that takes me anywhere while maintaining style. Pair with your flare jeans, and you are good to go. Scarf In my opinion, nothing can give you instant style like a billowy, lightweight scarf draped around the neck in whichever way you prefer. Whether it is with a t-shirt, tucked into your coat Dark Flare Jeans or jacket, or over a favorite sweater, Dark flare jeans are universally this little trick gives instant star-power. flattering. They look both put together Statement Jewelry and on trend no matter how you wear When heading out for dinner or a
girl’s night, try sporting a statement ring or some larger hoops to give glam to your look. Bangles always add polish, as do long necklaces over a crisp blouse. Be careful not to overdue. One or two of the above will be enough! Make-up Essentials When applying your make-up, remember to keep it balanced. Go bold on either the eye or the lip. The other can be bare to nude and the effect is still dazzling. If you are doing a shadow, eyelined look, try a sheer lip gloss or skin-toned shade lipstick. If you want blood red lips, do a neutral or no eye color at all. Either way, dab a little light to white highlighting shadow on the inner corner of the eye for unexpected sparkle.
Hair Band/Head Band Don’t forget the hair. What I love about this is that ponytails can be a totally chic option if styled with a little care. Take a lesson from the red carpet and duplicate a low sophisticated pull back. For a more playful look, go higher. What could be easier? If you want to take it that step further, add a headband. The result can be classic effortless style. Remember that looking good goes a long way toward feeling good. Just because we dedicate so much of our lives to the needs of our loved ones, doesn’t mean we can’t look good while doing it. Stock your closet with the above items and you can be five minutes from fabulous at a moment’s notice.

Celebrity Bar Battle Brings Bartenders Together For Literacy Project
The Ladera Ranch News
Brasserie Pascal GM Herve Laveaud with Al Freeman.
Photos by:Ed Melliza Newport Beach restaurant Brasserie Pascal was buzzing with action as it hosted a Celebrity Bar Battle, Libations for Literacy to help raise funds for the Literacy Project Foundation. The rival bartenders created a competitive atmosphere which led to an unforgettable night for a good cause. As Off the Menu OC writers, Christopher Trela and teammate Catherine Del Casale prepared for their bartending battle, guests poured in around the bar to order drinks and encourage their friends as they took on the challenge of bartending for their first time. However, being restaurant writers, Trela and Del Casale felt comfortable behind a bar. They wanted nothing short of a victory as they faced countless orders of margaritas, martinis and vodka sodas. Next up was the President/CEO of the Literacy Project Foundation, Sue Tucker, along with her teammate Chef Jamie Gwen. Their method for a victory included their coordinated attire and hours of practice beforehand. Gwen even admitted to having studied a how-to book on bartending to prepare for the challenge. However, the preparation fell short as the pour spout on the Vodka bottle fell off while Tucker was making a martini. Laughter ensued from the guests in attendance as a martini order turned into a glass of vodka. As the night continued, the team looked past their initial struggles and mixing drinks became a little bit more bearable. Their specialty drinks included the French martini and the Cosmopolitan. These specialty drinks were in deed fun, but the food was also delectable! Brasserie Pascal provided Kobe Beef Sliders, Grilled Vegetables, House Flatbread, Salmon and Shrimp Ceviche. The Literacy Project Foundation’s Libations for Literacy event left guests satisfied and content, but more importantly, hopeful for an end to illiteracy. As the night went on, both teams faced adversity but patrons were cooperative as they waited patiently, enjoyed the chaos, and cheered the teams on. Professional bartenders were on hand as well to give a lending hand. At the end of the evening the competitors were judged by the amount of tips they collected in their tip jars. Tucker and Gwen did end up winning by a slight margin but it was all in good fun. No win or loss could compete with a room filled with passionate supporters of education to help raise funds to give the gift of literacy to at-risk students struggling with their English proficiency. Enthusiastic supporters of the Literacy Project Foundation were enthralled to hear that the event netted $1,000, which will enable 5 students in local school districts to enroll in the foundation’s 30-hour reading program. The Celebrity Bar Battle was overall another successful charity event hosted by the Literacy Project Foundation, impressing us not only by their bartending abilities but also by their dedication to bring the gift of literacy to children. Literacy Project Foundation’s vision is to bring the gift of literacy to children as a foundational learning element to help achieve their personal dreams. Their mission is to enable at-risk and disadvantaged youth to increase their reading skill levels. The goal of the Foundation is to enable these children to become self-sufficient, productive and contributing members of our society. To do this, they access and enhance key phonic skills amongst struggling readers; promote learning in a fun, social and interactive environment; use proven methods to maximize the learning experience; develop increased self-confidence; and lead to self-sufficiency and economic success.

FESTIVAL OF ARTS EXHIBITORS INSPIRED BY BIG PICTURES As the Pageant of the Masters 2013 production of “The Big Picture” is wow-ing audiences with its tapestry of fine art tie-ins with Hollywood, more and more stories are emerging of Festival of Arts exhibitors’ connections to the movies. It turns out that art connoisseurs and movie buffs alike have something to appreciate at the Festival of Arts this summer. Artist duo Betty Haight and Stephanie Cunningham produce collaborative paintings, which they call “Duets” and which have now been placed in sets of three major motion pictures, the most recent being “The Guilt Trip” with Barbara Streisand, as well as “The Proposal” with Sandra Bullock and “The Last Song” with Miley Cyrus. An image by photographer
Bob Hansen was used on the set of the movie “Crash” with Sandra Bullock and Don Cheadle; that image was also secured by the Festival of Arts to be placed in its permanent collection. Photographer Nancy Holly captures the spirit of wild American
Page 14
horses in her fine art photography. One of her photographs on display this year is titled “Spirit” and is of the horse that was used as the inspiration and model for the artists and animators during the making of the 2002 DreamWorks animated film “Spirit, Stallion of the Cimarron” produced by DreamWorks. Painter David Milton, known for merging his expertise in photography and watercolor with his mission to preserve the vanishing icons of Americana, has had several brushes with Hollywood greats. Hitchhiking around California as a young man, David was picked up by a young Dustin Hoffman in the wake of his success in “The Graduate”; later, David would strike up a conversation at a bar with science fiction writer Ray Bradbury as Disney was in the process of making
a movie based on one of his novels. David was eventually recruited to work for 20th Century Fox after a big wig there saw his painting of a classic Hollywood theater on Sunset Blvd
The Ladera Ranch News
displayed at an art festival. For two years Fox paid David to paint classic Los Angeles theaters with 20th Century Fox movie titles (like “Romancing the Stone,” “Cocoon” and “Prizzi’s Honor”) on the theater marquees, even if they weren’t playing in those theaters. Today, David is brushing up against Hollywood not as a painter but as a writer of a screenplay based on the life of his own father, Harry Milton, who fought in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930’s, beside George Orwell the author of 1984 and Animal Farm, saving his life and influencing his politics. Of course, great moments and scenes in film offer inspiration to artists. Lillian Ann Blouin’s painting “The Deep River” is partially inspired by the final scenes of “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.”
Photographer Bob Hansen’s print “Los Angeles Railway Trolleys” (on display at the Festival now) features Trolley #665 that had been used in Laurel and Hardy Movies and several silent films of 1920’s an 1930’s Los Angeles. Painter April Raber has taken impressions from uncommon vantage
points – such as the underside of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and rooftops of New York City – such as those showcased in such classics as “A Walk in the Park” and “Vertigo.” April’s 36” x 36” painting, “Air and Iron,” has almost the same view of the Golden Gate Bridge as is seen in the movie Vertigo, which is featured in this year’s Pageant of the Masters production of The Big Picture. Susan Cox’s painting “The Dome on Sunset” is the Arclight Cinema, while Michael Ward’s painting “Big 6” depicts the same Big 6 market that Ryan Gosling is seen walkout out from in the movie “Drive.” Everywhere you look at the Festival of Arts and the Pageant of the Masters in 2013, big pictures and fine art are connected. Many of the works mentioned above are on display at the Festival of Arts, open to the public daily through August 31st. The Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters are sponsored in part by Acura, Fidelity Investments, KOST Radio 103.5, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and Orange County Register. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. For general information, call (949) 494-1145 or visit the website at www.LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California. Proceeds support the arts and art education in and around Laguna Beach.

R e in v en t i n g M o m : A ddi n g Sty le by A.D. Lane Yoga pants. Sweat shirts. Tennis shoes. Ponytails. Glasses. If you are a mom, you’ve probably worn one or a combination of these items this week. Why? When you are chasing around a small child, or chauffeuring an older child, it’s all about what’s easy. I can remember when I was pregnant with my first four years ago, I swore I’d never become one of “those moms” who seemed to have given up. I was a fairly stylish person, with many classic pieces in my closet and some trendy styles too. After my son was born by emergency c-section, I used my recovery as an excuse to don the comfortable items mentioned above. Three and a half years later, I still crave yoga pants, sweat shirts, cotton t-shirts. Why? It’s easy. I don’t have to think about my wardrobe. It takes much less time to shower, pull my hair up, and leave the house with a clean, fresh, make up free face. I liked my 15 minute routine. I spent more time getting my kids ready to leave the house then I spent getting myself ready. Then something happened. I started to really see myself in mirrors. I looked...old. I looked frumpy. I am hardly old. My children are three and 12 months. I couldn’t believe I Page 16
had become this person, and I had to make a change now. I found help in the most unlikely place possible. YouTube. I’m not kidding. I have never been a big YouTube user. I click on links my friends on Facebook share just like anyone else, but I’ve never been the person who searches YouTube for anything much. Okay, I’m sure you’re wondering, how did YouTube help me? Well, I could have gone out and spent money on fashion magazines, I’m sure, but one day, when I was attempting to de-frump, I was trying out an eye makeup technique I saw in a magazine, and it just wasn’t working. I saw the pictures, but it just wasn’t working. I thought, maybe there’s a tutorial on YouTube. A video I could actually watch and follow. What did I find? The world of beauty gurus. These are young people who spend their time, and in some cases get paid (!?!) to give beauty and fashion advice. Now, take it with a grain of salt, these aren’t people with a degree in anything dealing with fashion, but they really do have a good handle on some basic makeup techniques along with today’s trends. I don’t have any desire to try to look 16, but what I did learn was new makeup products to try out. I discovered a whole new pallet of pigmented eye shadows, blushes,
The Ladera Ranch News
lip butters (lip butters??). I found an amazing foundation that was so much less expensive than a product I’ve been using that frankly, made me feel old. I found how to videos on proper blending techniques. I also discovered some really cute new stores to shop that I had never even heard about. (We call that living in mom fog.) I won’t say that I am a 100% changed person, and I’m aware these gurus make videos for people closer to their own age, but I think there’s a lot to be learned from the young trendsetters. I’m only going to post links to two channels. There are so many out there, but these two are probably my favorites. Why? One, I
just love her energy for life, and I’ve found that her tutorials and product recommendations really worked for me. The second? I love that she’s very down to earth and shows you how to style on a budget. Now I’m not promising change overnight, and you may find a guru who works better for you, but please, get away from mom frump. Learn something new. Don’t be slave to workout style clothes and a fresh face. Most of all, put some spice back in your life! My favorite gurus: Beatybaby44 http://www.youtube.com/user/ beautybaby44 Strawberryelectric48 http:// www.youtube.com/user/ strawberryelectric48

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 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www. qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-13-561140-JB . 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
