Celebrities Pledge to Grow Beards for Movember
The Today show is about to get hairy. Today Show Hosts Pledge to Grow Beards for Movember Matt Lauer, Al Roker, Willie Geist, and Carson Daly pledged to forego shaving for the month of November to raise awareness about men’s health issues. Several NBC staffers also pledged to let their facial hair grow this month. Savannah Guthrie, while she couldn’t participate directly, joined the cause by collecting razors and shaving cream from her colleagues. November, in some circles, has come to be known as Movember, after the month long event that takes place now around the world, to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer diseases that significantly affect men around the world. The idea behind Movember is that participants sign up donors, then shave on Nov 1st. Typically you leave a mustache “Mo” in Australian slang but some men prefer to go cleanshaven and grow a beard.) After that, you don’t shave again until Dec 1st. As a result, November has also come to be known by some people as “beard-growing month.” Movember, the organization, was declared by Global Journal as one of the top 100 non-government organizations (NGOs) in the world out

of around 5M NGOs worldwide. The event has become a huge success since the first event’s 30 participants known as “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sistas.” A similar organization, Noshember (No Shave November), offers an alternative full-month of November event to grow a beard while raising awareness for prostate cancer and MS. Worldwide event which takes place during the month of November, to raise awareness for testicular and prostate cancer. 1 in 6 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their life. 660 American men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each day. 90% is the cure rate of prostate cancer, if detected early and treated in time.15 minutes is the average interval before another American male dies of prostate cancer. How many participants in Movember? 3.05M men and women participated overall years 20032012 campaigns. There are now 21 participating countries, which joined as follows: Last year $21,000,000. was raised in the USA alone. Facial Hair and Shaving the Numbers 14-16 years old is the average age at first shave in the USA. 33% of American men have facial hair, according to one source, which conflicts with the next figure possibly due to survey methods. Since 55% of males worldwide supposedly have facial hair, it seems Americans tend towards the clean-shaven look. 75-90% of American men shave their face regularly (once a day) meaning either a partial or full shave. Some men are seasonal shavers. 1.3 billion Men worldwide shave with a traditional blade and razor. Women apparently find fullbearded men have 2/3 the attraction
The Newport News
factor compared to clean-shaven men. However, women find fullbearded men to be “older, morerespected, and powerful, of a higher status”. Or if you ask someone else, they’ll say beards are hot. 92% of 10,000 participants in online survey said that beards are “hot”. The survey conducted by IFC (Independent Film Channel) for their reality TV show Whisker Wars, so the chances that most participants already like facial hair are very high, in comparison to the wider American populace. 98% of the Forbes 100 list of world’s richest men who are cleanshaven (2012). (Maybe they own shares in men’s hygiene product companies?) 5-7 is the approximate number of shaves the average American shaving male gets out of a disposable razor. Some cold-water-shaving enthusiasts say that warm water warps blades, causing them to dull faster. Baseball Beards The Boston Red Sox of Major League Baseball (MLB) are not only winners of the 2013 World Series, but possibly the hairiest team in the league, in terms of facial hair based on a recent study of 912 MLB players. 58% of MLB players have facial hair. 72% of Milwaukee Brewers players have some facial hair. 33% of Boston Red Sox players sport full beards. 0% of MLB players have just a mustache, compared to 40% in the 1987 season 0 Cincinnati Reds players had any facial hair at least until the team was sold in 1999, due to an enforced policy requiring players to be completely clean shaven. Obscure or Unusual Facial Hair Facts. Here are some unusual facts about facial hair. The word ‘barber’ comes from the Latin word barba, which means
beard. High-placed ancient Egyptian men weaved gold thread into their gold-dyed beards. Kings, queens and royal cows wore metallic “beards” for special occasions, including eclipses. Russians paid a beard tax due to a 1705 law during Peter the Great’s rule. The ruler apparently wanted to “modernize” Russian society. Those paid the tax (cost varied by societal status) were given a token that in had a Cyrillic inscription saying “the beard is a superfluous burden.” Brigham Young University has a “clean-shaven” dress code for men, but Brigham Young himself has displayed a beard. Abraham Lincoln reputedly grew beard on the written advice of an 11-year old girl who thought his face was thin. Not sure if this was before or after he took up vampire hunting but he was the first bearded U.S. president. When Lincoln won the presidency in 1860, politician Valentine Tapley stopped shaving based on a promise made. Tapley’s beard upon his death in 1910 was 12.5 feet long. Ulysses S. Grant was the first U.S. president with a full-beard. Benjamin Harrison was the last U.S. president with a beard. Pogonophobia is the fear of beards. Actor Alec Baldwin appears in a Capital One credit card commercial competing with two “Vikings” in a beard-growing contest. After each combatant grimaces for a few seconds, each sprouts a full beard. Of course that’s make believe, but there are beard growing contests, including the World Beard Championships, which took place in Germany in 2013. Competitors sport some of the most fascinating artistically groomed facial hair. The Beard Team USA won 9 trophies in the competition. There is a TV reality show on IFC network called Whisker Wars, about competitive beard growing.

Discover the genius of Amer ica’s favorite architects with a road trip
The classic summer road trip is an annual American tradition. In fact, a recent study commissioned by Expedia.com found half of Americans plan to take a road trip of 200 miles or more. They can be a great way for the entire family to spend time together, create memories and broaden their knowledge of the country, all for a lot less money and hassle than flying to your destination. If your family is planning to hit the road, you don’t have to settle for the same old beach excursion or theme park pilgrimage - discover the genius of America’s favorite architect with attractions that are truly unique to the U.S. Get to know one of America’s mostloved architects Even if you don’t know a cupola from a pergola, chances are you’ve heard of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Wisconsin native created a distinctive and enduring style that has become synonymous with great American architecture. Wright’s creativity produced some of the most visually striking and enduringly beloved buildings in the country, including the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, the Monona Terrace
Civic Center in Madison, Wis., and the SC Johnson campus in Racine, Wis. “Usonia,” a term used to describe Wright’s architectural vision for the development of cities featuring practical, yet beautiful homes for the middle-class. Usonian homes used less expensive, native construction materials, emphasized a strong visual connection between the interior and exterior, and used design to facilitate more energy-efficient heating, cooling and lighting of homes. “Usonia: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Vision of the American Home,” also features an “exploded” model of Wright’s first Usonian home, “Jacobs House I.” The Midwest is a bounty for Frank Lloyd Wright devotees, boasting numerous examples of his architectural genius within a 200mile radius of Racine, Wis. Consider traveling to the following destinations during your next summer road trip. Taliesin in Spring Green, Wis.: Wright’s summer home, where he designed such masterpieces as the Guggenheim, is open to the public for tours. Started in 1911, the home implemented some of Wright’s concepts about organic architecture, incorporating local limestone for
chimneys and stone piers and sand from the nearby Wisconsin River in stucco walls. Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Ill.: Wright spent the first 20 years of his career working in this impressive home located just outside of Chicago. Public tours are available. Visit gowright.com to learn more. Frederick C. Robie House in Chicago, Ill.: Considered one of the most important buildings in American architecture, this house was Wright’s homage to his client, Frederick C. Robie. Completed in 1910, the house showcases Wright’s mastery of the Prairie style of construction and
foreshadows his rise as the forefather of modernism in architecture. Burnham Street Historic District in Milwaukee, Wis.: Nowhere else in the country can you view a more awe-inspiring collection of American System-Built Homes. Wright designed these homes to be modest, affordable and beautiful. Jacobs House I in Madison, Wis.: After viewing the “exploded” model at “The Gallery,” stop at Jacobs House I to view Wright’s first Usonian home. Designed for Herbert and Katherine Jacobs, the home was built in 1936 and epitomizes the Usonian concepts for which Wright is famous.

Veterinarians Stress the Importance of Good Pet Dental Care Pets receive plenty of veterinary care, but many pet owners overlook the importance of pet dental care. Without regular oral care, pets are at risk for gum infections, gingivitis, swollen gums, tooth infections, periodontics, and halitosis. Pet owners can perform their own examinations of their pet mouths, and clean their pet’s teeth using canine toothpaste and a canine toothbrush to help ensure their pet’s optimal health. Oral examinations should be a part of every pet checkup, since they can help veterinarians detect and treat diseases including mouth tumors, cysts, and gum diseases. The common signs that a pet may be experiencing a pet dental disease include: extreme bad breath, eroded tarter that may start to turn black, and the pet may begin to experience loss of appetite. Eighty percent of dogs and cats past the age of four have some type of pet dental disease. The Balboa Veterinary Hospital says that most pet owners do not realize that these dental diseases, such as periodontal disease, affect more than just the mouth. Bacteria breed in the mouth can also spread to other vital organs, such as the
kidneys, liver, lungs, and heart. The veterinary hospital warns pet owners if proper pet care is not taken pets can lose teeth due to the disease, or may need infected teeth to be extracted. San Diego veterinarians recommend that along with daily teeth brushing, for both cats and dogs, annual dental care visits to a San Diego vet is vital. Regular tooth brushing goes a long way toward keeping pets safe and healthy, and can easily be performed at home in a few minutes. “I recommend that pet owners brush their pet’s teeth daily to remove tartar that can cause swollen gums and gingivitis,” says Dr. Miranda Alexander of Balboa Veterinary Hospital in San Diego. San Diego veterinarians encourage pet owners to purchase dog friendly toothpaste and tooth brush and make it a routine to brush pet’s teeth at least once a day. Most pets can get used to the idea of having their teeth brushed and may come to see the routine as a bonding experience. San Diego veterinarians can teach pet owners how to examine their pet’s mouths and brush their pet’s teeth. “Chew toys also play a role in dog oral health,” notes Dr. Alexander of Balboa
Veterinary Hospital. As pets chew, they scrape tartar off their teeth. Owners can feel good about leaving pets at home with nylon bones. Although the San Diego veterinary hospital cautions pet owners to never leave pets alone with rawhide chews, as they present a choking hazard. Balboa Veterinary Hospital
offers comprehensive pet dental care, including oral examinations, preventative dental care and treatment of oral health issues affecting pets. To learn more about pet dental care and pet dental diseases, please visit Balboa Veterinary Hospital’s website at http://mybalboavet.com.
The Top Three Flu-Fighting Tips for 2014 Every year, Americans stock up on lemon tea, vitamin C, and herbal remedies to brace for another long flu season. But what really works? Protecting yourself (and your friends, family, and community) from influenza is as easy as taking these three simple steps, courtesy of ZocDoc – a free service (currently available in select cities) which lets patients book doctor appointments online instantly: 1. Get a flu shot. Two-thirds of Americans plan to get the flu vaccine this year, but following through on this pledge can be difficult. Simply visit www.ZocDoc.com, find a nearby doctor, choose your own appointment time, and schedule an appointment with just a few clicks. 2. Stop the spread of germs. Common-sense germ precautions are one of the most powerful steps you can take to stop the flu in its tracks. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this means washing your hands frequently or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer; covering your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze; avoiding close contact with sick people; and limiting contact with healthy people if you fall ill. 3. Seek help if you are under the weather. If you do become sick, it’s important to see your doctor right away. Although many people think of the flu as just a nuisance illness, it can be very serious – especially for the very young, the elderly, and anyone with a weak immune system. Every year, the flu is responsible for hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and countless hours of lost work. Currently, ZocDoc is available in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. There are more than 5.5 million available appointments with medical professionals nationwide. For more information, visit www.ZocDoc.com. Page 4

Sink shopping 101: Is your sink ready for the hectic holidays? From enjoying a nice cup of coffee in the morning to putting the final touches on a homemade pie, the kitchen is the center of the home any time of year, but especially during the busy holiday season. The kitchen will be put to the test, filled to the brim with friends and loved ones, whipping up the family’s secret recipes. In order to handle the holiday season with ease, your sink needs to be in tip-top shape. Is yours up for the challenge? It may be time to replace your current sink if it’s leaking, chipping or the finish is lackluster. Before you make the big purchase, here’s your guide to buying a functional and stylish sink for your kitchen. Right size, right fit The first question to ask when looking for a new kitchen sink is about the sink size and number of bowls: Is your current sink too big, too small or just right? Keep in mind you should select a sink that fits in the existing countertop opening unless you are planning on replacing your counters. The main factor to consider when selecting your new sink is the number of bowls. To help make the selection, think about your kitchen habits and preferences. If you have limited
counter space, you may want to select a single bowl sink; not only does it give you more workspace, it can also accommodate larger trays and skillets. If you like to multi-task at the sink by soaking dishes on one side while prepping the meal on the other, a dual bowl sink will better meet your needs. Along with the number of bowls, also consider the depth when choosing a new sink. With a shallow sink, it’s easier to see any items left in it; the more depth a bowl has also means there’s more room, allowing you to worry less about dirty dishes being seen from afar or toppling over the edge. It’s easier than you think to find the right depth and style - there are a wide variety of stainless steel sinks; there’s a perfect option to meet all of your cooking and cleaning needs, with both single and double bowl configurations available. Suitable type Once you find the configuration and depth that’s right for your kitchen, it is time to select the sink type. A dropin sink is level with your countertop, easy to install and is compatible with laminate and ceramic surfaces. The other type of sink installation is an undermount. Here, the sink lip
is mounted under the countertop, giving the counter a continuous flow into the sink, and making it easy to wipe away food, crumbs and water. Undermount sinks are a great fit for kitchens that have granite, marble or soapstone countertops. Since it adheres directly to the counter, these solid surface options can better support the weight of the sink. The gauge, or measurement of the thickness of material, should also be considered while shopping for a sink. Remember, the lower the number, the thicker the steel. Cooks and busy families may prefer heavier gauge sinks that will do a better job of resisting dents that can come from frequent use. Thicker steel will also minimize vibration from a disposal and prevent flexing or bowing when the faucet is mounted directly to the sink. Adding a second sink is a smart idea for kitchens with two cooks and households that frequently entertain. Creating a separate food prep station or beverage center complete with running water prevents congestion around your main sink and helps make the room feel more spacious.
Choosing a bar/prep sink that coordinates with the rest of your kitchen is easy. Once this new work area is complete, you’ll appreciate having this practical luxury in your kitchen. Visually pleasing The last step is to pick the sink that is aesthetically pleasing to you and fits in with the style and decor of your kitchen. Kitchen sinks come in a variety of materials and finishes, the most popular and cost-effective material is stainless steel. It’s easy to clean and maintain, and has the added benefit of being heat and stain resistant. Breaking down each aspect of a potential kitchen sink purchase makes shopping a manageable task. Just remember to start with the basics: the configuration, how the sink will be installed and the overall look you’re trying to achieve to supplement your kitchen’s design.

Hot cooking trends for cool weather foods
With the return of cool autumn weather, our thoughts turn to warm, comforting foods. But cold-weather cooking needn’t be dull. This year, take your menu cues from restaurant and cooking trends to create fun fall foods your entire family will enjoy. Here are some popular restaurant ingredients and cooking methods to inspire your home-cooked meals this season: Look for locally sourced meats. Locally sourced meats and seafood were cited as the No. 1 trend in restaurants, according to the National Restaurant Association (NRA) annual survey of professional chefs. Visit your neighborhood butcher or the locally grown section at your grocer for the freshest cuts and catches for meals with the fullest flavor, from slow-roasted beef to hearty stews and creamy seafood chowders. Be adventurous with veggies. Everyday green vegetables are popping up on menus in new ways, putting a fresh twist on old standbys. Brussels sprouts, once thought to be needlessly bland, are the latest “it” vegetable, taking on a new personality when sauteed or seared to bring out a nutty flavor. Also enjoying a new place in the sun is kale­ - stir-fried, steamed, sauteed, baked or even added to a soup or stew for crunch - kale can add tasty, unexpected texture and flavor to a meal. Tools such as Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick Cookware make these veggies a snap to prepare, thanks to a multi-layer non-stick cooking surface
and hard-anodized construction that ensures lasting, easy release, even heat distribution and new dishwashersafe cleanup. The line includes everything from saute pans to stock pots so simmering, pan-searing, poaching, frying or stewing your favorite fall comfort foods is easier than ever. Hit the fall farmers market. The popularity of farmers markets continues to grow as more Americans seek out fresh fruits and vegetables so much so that the number of farmers markets has grown by 150 percent in the last 10 years, according to the National Farmers Market Coalition. Farmers markets are no longer just a summertime tradition either. Even in cooler climates, local farmers markets extend into November. Stroll through your local market to pick up in-season produce. In addition to brussels sprouts and kale, look for freshpicked acorn and butternut squash, pumpkins, cranberries, artichokes and mushrooms. P r e s e r v e n a t u r e ’s b o u n t y. Americans’ hunger for preserving seasonal freshness is a contributing factor in the returning popularity of home pickling and canning. In fact, pickling is among the top five food preparation methods cited by the NRA chef survey. Pickled products are also showing up in artisan specialty shops and grocery stores, with varieties extending beyond the standard to include pickled cauliflower, cucumbers, carrots and more. Home canning is also seeing
an uptick as the desire for homemade freshness continues. For tips on food preservation, check out the National Center for Home Food Preservation. Crunch into the newest apple varieties. It seems every year that new varieties of apples are popping up, ready to be added to your favorite recipes. SnapDragon and Ruby Frost are just two of the new varieties this fall, while heirloom apples are also enjoying the limelight. Whether your family loves apple cobbler and pie, or just can’t get through the season without a homemade caramel apple, follow your whims and try out-of-theordinary apple varieties in your own recipes. Serve soups with twist. What would autumn be without a savory soup simmering on the stove? This season, rev up your soup repertoire and try something new. Bring interesting flavors home by combining autumn’s produce with a bit of spice. Curried Butternut Squash and Apple Soup makes the most of in-season squash and apples with the added kick of fresh ginger, curry powder, ground cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Top with a dollop of thick, creamy yogurt. So go ahead - experiment this season with new ingredients and techniques - and help your family “fall into” a flavorful fall. For more cooking ideas and recipes, visit calphalon. com.Curried Butternut Squash and Apple Soup Servings: Serves 4 Prep time: Less than 30 minutes Cook time: Less than 60 minutes

Shea Center Raises $900k at Family Faire BBQ Photos by: Brian Carter / Pixel That! Photography Over 1500 friends, sponsors, riders, staff and volunteers recently gathered for the annual J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center BBQ and Family Faire. This evening of family fun, included country-style carnival games, riding demonstrations, a sumptuous BBQ dinner, auction items for bidding, and country music for dancing. This traditional end-of-summer party has been one of the Shea Center’s major fundraising events supporting its mission to improve the lives of people with disabilities through therapeutic horserelated programs. At the heart of The Shea Center is a corps of generous volunteers who donate thousands of hours of time and talent. This year Hearts of Montage, a volunteer employee group from Montage Laguna Beach, expanded its supporting role by hosting the Sponsor/VIP Saloon where it served an intriguing array of hors d’oeuvres and specialty drinks. The luxury hotel’s Director of Food & Beverage Victorio Gonzalez explained, “After a 10-year relationship with The Shea Center, we wanted to be onsite to support the fundraiser, the kids, and this fantastic cause.” Describing the evening’s menu, Executive Chef Rob Wilson said, “To fit this special occasion, we are serving an amazing Montagesque meal with a barbeque-western personality.” The evening was sold out with dinner tables filling the Samueli Arena and adjacent patio. Kent French, broadcaster and producer for the Anaheim Ducks, served as emcee and auctioneer. He whipped up the excitement stimulating generous bids for a wide variety of unique live auction items. These included a behind-the-scenes tour during the production of NCIS, the top rated CBS drama, a Montana vacation getaway, and a Holiday dinner for 12 prepared at home by renowned chef Azmin Ghahremass of Sapphire Laguna. There were 286 live and silent auction items that generated over $96,000. One of the evening’s most heartfelt moments was the annual “Parade of Stars” when more than 60 therapy clients and their families moved through the dinner guests to standing applause. This year’s honored rider was 3-year-old Callan Mullins. His dad, Jared, spoke of his son’s path following four open-heart surgeries and two strokes, leaving him partially paralyzed in a wheelchair and unable to speak. Now, in less than a year of therapeutic riding, Callan has built core strength, is able to stand, and recently took his first independent steps walking to greet his pal Emerson, the Center’s handsome facility dog. Jared noted that following those first 10 steps, Callan proudly exclaimed, “I did it!” The crowd loved it! The evening concluded with dancing to the music of popular country band Swingshift. The BBQ’s Presenting Sponsors were The Klein Family and Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo. The Event Sponsor was the E. J. & Thomas Tracy Family Foundation, and the Entertainment Sponsors were the O’Connell Family Foundation Trust and The Schreiber Family. Gross proceeds for the evening were over $900,000, the largest amount ever generated by a single fundraiser in the riding center’s history. The J.F. Shea Therapeutic Riding Center is dedicated to improving the lives of people with disabilities through therapeutic horse-related programs. For more information on J.F.

Mini cheesecakes - the perfect little something sweet Mini Pear-Ginger Cheesecakes with Gingersnap Crust Ingredients: Cheesecake ½ cup water 125 mL 8 dried pear halves, chopped (dried apples can be substituted) 1/3 cup crystallized ginger 75 mL 3 packages (8 oz/250 g) low-fat cream cheese, room temperature 2 eggs, lightly beaten ¾ cup granulated sugar 175 mL Crust 40 gingersnap cookies, processed to form crumbs (about 2 cups/500 mL) 3 Tbsp canola oil 45 mL 2 Tbsp brown sugar 30 mL 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 30 mL 2 tsp salt 10 mL Instructions: Preheat oven to 325 °F (160 °C). In medium saucepan, bring water, dried pears and crystallized ginger to simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 12 minutes until water is absorbed and pears softened. In food processor, process pears and ginger until course paste forms and cool about 10 minutes. While
paste is cooling, make crust. To make crust: combine all crust ingredients. Spray miniature cheesecake pans with canola oil. Divide crumb mixture evenly among mini cheesecake pans and press firmly into bottom. Bake crusts for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown around edges. Remove from oven and set on wire rack and cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 250 °F (120 °C).
While crusts are cooling, continue making cheesecake filling. In large bowl, beat cream cheese and gingered pear paste together on low until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Add sugar and beat until smooth, frequently scraping down sides of bowl with spatula. Transfer filling into liquid measuring cup or pitcher and pour filling into crusts, dividing evenly. Place in oven and bake about 30 minutes until filling is set. Remove from oven and set on wire rack about
1 hour to cool completely. Then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before removing cheesecakes from pan. To serve, garnish cheesecakes with crystallized ginger. Tips: The cheesecakes can be also made in non-stick mini muffin tins that are sprayed well with canola oil and/ or lined with cupcake holders. Dried pear halves may be substituted with dried apples. Yield: 24 mini cheesecakes.
Being your own boss : getting your freelance or small business off the ground
It’s one of the greatest American dreams. You make your own hours and choose your own clients, while doing what you love and getting paid for it. Starting your own small or freelance business can be an empowering and life-altering experience, but before you get to the good part, there’s plenty of work to create the foundation of a successful business. Today, there are many new tools to get you started on the right track, but they are still based on tried and true principles. * There’s no such thing as too much networking. “Start with your immediate network,” says Shawn O’Mara, senior partner at design firm ocreations, who earned his associate of applied science degree in Visual Communications from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1991. “Do you have an uncle who owns a pizza shop? Offer to create a new logo for him. The money doesn’t matter as much when you’re first starting out; you need to concentrate on building your portfolio.” Another great way to build your portfolio is to contact non profit organizations. “Non-profits usually
do not have a large budget, so if you offer to do the work at a reduced rate, you’ll get the experience,” says Dana Melvin, director of career services at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh. Once you’ve started working with get those clients, Melvin reminds business owners to make sure to get permission to use them as references. Melvin also reminds entrepreneurs, “No matter where you go, your business card should come with you.” That includes the gym, grocery store and gas station. “You never know when you’ll meet a potential client and you should never pass up an opportunity to get your contact info in their hands.” One of your biggest networking tools doesn’t even require you to get out of your pajamas. “Facebook, LinkedIn and so many other social media outlets allow you to reach out to people you could not reach before. A lot of the work I am doing is for people that I went to high school with and I could not have connected with them if it were not for social networks,” says O’Mara. O’Mara also encourages budding entrepreneurs to think outside of
the box when advertising their business. He encourages people to find sponsorship and donation opportunities in the community. “My son plays pee wee football, so I donate the T-shirts so that everyone who comes to the games sees what I do for a living,” O’Mara emphasizes that everyone you know should know what you do for a living. And then there’s office space. Do you need it? There was a time when a business without an office wasn’t much of a business at all. But times have changed. O’Mara’s business is graphic design and although now has an office, he says all a freelancer in his field needs is a laptop and the right software. He says most client
meetings can either be held at the client’s office or at your local coffee shop. If you do decide you need an office both Melvin and O’Mara advise that you look into co-working spaces. “Those facilities have common conference rooms, shared office equipment like a copier and fax machine, a common kitchen and some have a receptionist for all the businesses that share the space,” explains Melvin. O’Mara says there’s an extra benefit to the shared space as well. “The people you’re sharing the space with become part of your network and help you to grow your business; they can also become your clients.”

5 Best Dog Breeds for Families By Ashley L Do you have a child that is bugging you constantly for a dog? Are you running out of excuses for getting one? Maybe it’s time to add that new furry member to your family, but before you decide, there are a few key factors you should take into consideration. While we all tend to choose the cutest puppy we see, it’s not necessarily the best way to choose a dog. When looking for the perfect dog for your family, be sure to also consider size, temperament, your living situation, and cost of ownership. Gaining knowledge of these factors, will ensure you find the best suitable breed for your family’s lifestyle. With over 150 dog breeds to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming finding the right breed for you. So, to lend you a helping hand, I have compiled a list of 5 of the best known dog breeds for families. 1. Labrador Retriever Recognized by the AKC, as the most popular dog breed in the United States, these gentle and affectionate dogs make excellent pets for families. Smart, obedient, and devoted, Labs are good with children of all ages, as well as other dogs and pets. Although, they are known to be very friendly, they are also a very protective breed, and are great choices for those wanting added security for their family. As a member of the working class, Labradors are extremely energetic and require lots of exercise to stay healthy. 2. Golden Retriever Similar to the Labrador, Golden Retrievers are very sweet and affectionate family dogs that love pleasing their owners. Their patience and gentle disposition, make them great companions for children of all ages. Whether it’s chasing a ball, swimming in a lake, or hiking in the mountains, these highly intelligent animals are ready to take on any challenge that comes their way. Like other larger dog breeds, Golden Retrievers are extremely energetic and require daily exercise, to keep healthy and burn off excess energy. 3. Beagle Known to most as the hunting dog, these floppy eared hounds make great pets for families with children. They are very gentle, loving, and loyal animals with spunky personalities, that are sure to win over your heart. Although, Beagles are very intelligent animals, they have been known to be quite stubborn, and love to get into mischief. Their innate ability for tracking and curious nature often get these pups into trouble. For this reason, they do best in homes, with large fenced in yards, to provide security and decrease the chance of your pet running off. Beagles do well in most living situations, but are very energetic and require lots of exercise. 4. Bulldogs Don’t let their tough exterior fool you, Bulldogs are one of the most gentle dog breeds and have a very sweet personality. Their thick, rugged build make them an excellent choice for families with rambunctious children. Although, they are not the most energetic of dog breeds, they love to play and require lots of attention. The Bulldog’s mellow attitude make them a great indoor pet, and perfect for families who live in apartments or have small yards. 5. Dachshund Nicknamed the “weiner dog”, for its hot dog shaped appearance, Dachshunds have been a family favorite for years. Their short, stubby legs and long, floppy ears are sure to make you smile. Similar to the Bulldog, Dachshunds are definitely not the most energetic breed, but love attention and make great indoor pets. Although, they tend to be shy around new people, they adapt well to most living environments, and get along great with other pets and children of all ages.

Five fun and affordable fall activities your family will love
Crisp air, changing leaves and cozy knit sweaters signify the return of autumn. Fall can be a busy time for most families, juggling back-to-school routines, carpools, homework, after school events and sports practice. Now is a great time to slow down, bring the whole family together and enjoy all of the exciting activities fall has to offer.Here are a few fun ways to spend quality time with your family and relish in fall to the fullest: 1. Visit an apple orchard. This is a great way to make the most of the beautiful fall weather and do something active with the family. Use apples to make apple sauce, a tasty tart or just slice them up for a great on-the-go snack. Try unique apple varieties you’ve never tried they all taste a bit different! Pack a picnic for the orchard and include Marzetti Caramel Dip Snack Packs to dip the apples you pick. The dips are an easy and fun way to treat your family to the flavors of fall. And with varieties like Old Fashioned and Fat Free, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. 2. Go for a nature walk. With the vibrant, colorful leaves and the cool, crisp air, autumn is a great time to get your family outdoors and learn more about nature in a local nature preserve or state park. Pick up a few fall mementos along the way to integrate into crafts. For example, bring home some colorful leaves and decoupage them onto the outside of a mason jar to create a seasonal fall candle holder, or create a lively fallinspired canvas incorporating several different leaf shapes and colors. 3. Gear up for Holidays Host a Fall themed get-together by incorporating fun foods the kids can help prepare and will love to eat! Use a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter to create cut-out cookies and involve the kids in decorating - with everything from sprinkles to frosting. Or, for a quick and easy themed treat, try making marshmallow lollipops Page 16
drizzled with chocolate or caramel dip, then use chopped nuts or candy bits to make ghoulish faces.4. Visit a local farmers market. Fall offers a whole new repertoire of amazing fresh fruits and vegetables. Encourage your kids to try new items like figs, acorn squash or cauliflower. If they find samples that they enjoy, purchase a few and find a way to incorporate them into your next meal. You can also buy items such as tomatoes and pickle peppers in bulk, and then can at the end of season to store for the long winter ahead. 5. Have a bonfire. As the weather cools down, bonfires are a great way to stay warm at night and make lasting family memories. Gather everyone together and reconnect by huddling around the fire in cozy blankets. Pour mugs of warm apple cider and munch on Nutty Caramel Popcorn while swapping ghost stories over the glow of the fire. Nutty Caramel Popcorn Ingredients: 1/2 cup Marzetti Old Fashioned Caramel Dip 2 tablespoons butter 8 cups popped microwave plain popcorn 1/2 cup peanuts Directions: Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Spray a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside. Melt butter in small saucepan. Stir in dip; simmer over low heat five minutes, stirring frequently. You can even substitute other Marzetti dip flavors, like Peanut Butter Caramel or Sweet and Salty Caramel, for a tasty twist. Pour mixture over popcorn and peanuts in prepared dish. Stir until evenly coated. Bake 30 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool completely in dish on wire rack, about 45 minutes. For more family-friendly fall food inspiration and to find information about other tasty recipes, visit Marzetti Kitchens.

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 $5,856,270.84 (Estimated).

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 Priority Posting and Publishing at 714-573-1965 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, CA01000359-14. 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.
