106th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade Join over a million viewers as you watch beautifully decorated yachts, boats, kayaks and canoes sail along the harbor in the 106th Annual Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Hosted by the Commodores Club of the Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce, we invite you to celebrate this year as we feature the theme “Deck the Hulls with Bows of Jolly.” The Parade Welcome to the Official Site for the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. As Newport Beach’s Christmas Card to the world, the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade will set the harbor ablaze for five consecutive nights, beginning Wednesday, December 17 and ending Sunday, December 21, 2014. The parade starts off Bay Island at 6:30 pm and finishes at the same site at approximately 9:00 pm each evening. Beautiful multi-million dollar yachts, kayaks, canoes and other small boats will light up the harbor as a dazzling array of holiday lights and music fill the air at the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade. Many of the boats will be richly decorated with animated Christmas scenes
accompanied by music and costumed carolers. Some boat owners in the past have spent over $50,000 to decorate their vessels for the event. The Christmas floats will wind their way some 14 miles around the harbor to give viewers in restaurants, yacht clubs, on public beaches, and in private homes an incredible sight that has delighted millions of people for a century. The Newport Beach Christmas
Boat Parade, which has been hailed as “one of the top ten holiday happenings in the nation” by the New York Times, is truly a magical holiday tradition for all ages. The parade continues to be a premier event during the holiday season in Southern California that brings joy and happiness to all that view it. The Ring Of Lights Beautifully decorated bayside homes and businesses surrounding
the harbor go “all out” with their own holiday spirit, featuring everything from roof-top animated scenes to dancing Christmas trees. With its own judged categories and prizes awarded, the “Ring of Lights” has become as celebrated as the boat parade itself.

Tips for successful gift giving this holiday season This time of year, there is no shortage of holiday gift guides available to help you find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. Whether it’s your chocolateloving aunt or fashion-forward sister, there is an art to selecting just the right things to put smiles on their faces. Here are a few tips to get you through the overwhelming gift giving process this holiday season: Developing your list When you create your holiday shopping list this year, include your close friends and family - but don’t forget others who may impact your day-today life. Whether it’s your local mail carrier or your children’s school teachers, be sure to show the people who really make a difference in your life gratitude this holiday season - they’ll appreciate your acknowledgment of the impact they have on you. Deciding on gifts With so many people and preferences to consider, it’s great to have one place you can go, like See’s Candies, to purchase delicious gifts with just the right level of customization for each person on your list. The candy retailer’s Holiday Gift Centers will be in major malls across the country this holiday season, featuring candies using the finest, freshest ingredients. With delectable boxed chocolates and holiday assortments at varying price points, See’s can help you find something for everyone in your life. Don’t forget the host Page 2
The Newport News
Once you complete your holiday shopping and check off everyone on your list, you’re not out of the woods just yet. You may be hosting a holiday get together or, better yet, heading to a loved one’s home to celebrate. If someone else is hosting this year, be sure not to show up empty-handed. Ask the host if you can bring an appetizer or dessert and grab an extra box of See’s Candies that will positively be the perfect after-dinner treat. You can also consider bringing the sweet treats as a thankyou gift for the host and their family.
Remember to enjoy it While you’re running around decorating, purchasing gifts, and attending holiday parties, be sure to take a moment to really enjoy the time with your friends and family and remember that quality time is what makes the holidays special. While people look forward to the holidays and time off, they can often be busy and stressful. Make sure you stay in the moment and don’t miss out on the holiday fun.

H o l i d a y e n t e r ta i n m e n t s u r v i v a l g u i d e The countdown to this year’s holiday season has begun. Department stores have decked the halls. Families are scheduling trips to visit far-away loved ones. And hosts everywhere are stressing about entertaining family and friends during this frantic season of peace and good will. To ease stress, the Kansas City Steak Company has put together a holiday entertainment guide to help you weather the storm and come out with host-of-the-year honors. Here are a few tips. Stock the freezer and pantry with can’t miss meals that delight every time Every host has some go-to recipes that are crowd pleasers. Be sure to stock your freezer with some family favorites leading into the holiday season. Whether you’re planning a glorious Christmas Eve feast or an impromptu holiday party, you’ll have everything you need to delight your guests. A succulent prime rib roast is always a great go-to meal. It’s easy to prepare, doesn’t require a lot of fuss and never fails to impress even the pickiest eater. A flavorful beef tenderloin roast is another easy fan favorite. You can also check out a few other special holiday meals from companies like the Kansas City Steak Company to stock your pantry with Page 4
foods your family and friends will love. Don’t forget to add in a few appetizers, side dishes and a dessert or two to your freezer stash. When time is limited, stocking the freezer with time-saving, delicious go-to items is the way to go. Add a few special items to make your holiday table sparkle From colorful holiday runners and napkins, to large platters and serving bowls, it’s a great idea to pull out your holiday items and place them in an easy-to-reach location during the holiday season. Candles add a special ambiance to holiday parties, so keep a few of your favorite scented votives and pillars on hand and you’ll have a special glow. And don’t forget to buy a few nonperishable foods that add elegance to any holiday spread: olives, crackers, holiday cookies, spiced nuts whatever your family and friends enjoy, stock up and they’ll be ready whenever you need them. Consider a potluck meal this year Potluck dinners can take a lot of stress off your plate and are a great way to create memorable meals anytime - especially during the holidays. Usually the host takes care of the meal’s entree. Guests could bring their favorite salads, breads, desserts or whatever you need to round out the meal. It’s a great way to
The Newport News
spread out costs, reduce stress and entertain in style. Prepping the holiday bar Impromptu and planned holiday gatherings often mean you’ll want to offer a variety of beverages. Stocking your bar with a few bottles of your favorite wine, beer, vodka, whiskey and some mixers means you don’t have to make a last-minute trip to the store when you’d rather be visiting with friends. Welcome guests with festive holiday music Few things say, “Happy Holidays,” like the tunes that define the season. Tune into one of the stations in your area that plays holiday music 24/7 from Thanksgiving through Christmas. Or download some favorites onto your iPod and let the music waft throughout your home. Stow away a few extra gifts for unexpected guests It happens every year. Someone stops by to deliver an unexpected holiday gift and you haven’t included that person on your gift list. Whether it’s a box of special chocolates, scented candles or even a box of succulent steaks, you’ll be prepared for any occasion by having extra gifts on-hand. Making your home “guest-ready” A clean home is a happy home - and a reflection on you. Take a
few moments to walk through your home before guests arrive. Check the bathrooms to make sure they’re well-stocked. Add a few extra hangers to your closet. Remove excess clutter. Taking a few minutes before guests arrive to tidy up will mean that much less you’ll have to clean after the party. Take time to savor the special moments and memories There is no perfect holiday gathering, so remember to laugh and love and move on. Advanced planning will help you survive some of the usual holiday entertaining stresses, but learning to let the little things go can go a long way to helping you see that this time together is precious.

How to Care for Your Poinsettia After Christmas By Deborah Anderson Now that Christmas is over, and the New Year has arrived, some people are facing the question of what to do with that Poinsettia they enjoyed during the holidays. With the proper care, enjoying these beautiful plants for many years is possible. Poinsettias seem to follow the seasons when it comes to caring for them. During the late winter or early spring, in February or early March, these plants will need the old flowering stems cut back to 4-6 inches in height to promote new growth. During this period, the plants will also need fertilizing monthly; they will need 6 hours of light, they will need to be kept away from heat sources and the moisture must be checked daily. Water when the soil is dry. In late spring or into the summer, repot the plant using a pot 2-3 inch larger in diameter than the one the previous one. Moisten the soil, and then set the plant in a sunny window. When all threat of frost has passed and the night temperatures are above 60 degrees, move the plant outside. The poinsettia will need to be set in a shady spot for a couple of weeks so it can acclimate to the outdoors. After the acclimation, the plant, still in its pot, is ready to place into a sunny, protected flowerbed. Turn the pot regularly to keep the plant from rooting through the hole in the bottom of the pot; a quarter of a turn weekly should be enough to prevent the rooting. The turning will also help the plant grow evenly. Shaping the plant also takes place during this season. If you desire a short plant with many flowers,
pinch the growing shoots off to produce a bushy plant with more flowers. Pinching will only need to occur every 3-4 weeks, according to how fast the plant grows. Be sure to leave 2-3 large fully expanded leaves below the pinched area for a guide to tell when the shoots are ready for pinching. Continue the pinching until mid-August. The poinsettia plant should be kept growing actively throughout the summer by watering regularly and feeding every two weeks with a complete 20-20-20 soluble fertilizer. In the fall, before night temperatures drop below 55 degrees, check the poinsettia for pests and diseases, then brought indoors and placed in a sunny location, preferably in a south window. Reduce fertilization because the plant will begin growing slower and the plant will begin its flowering process. Poinsettia flowering is photoperiodically induced, meaning that the flowers will begin forming when the days are short and the nights are long. With this in mind, the poinsettia must not receive any light at night or the flowering will not occur. If the plant is in a location with light, cover it with a heavy paper bag, or
place it in a dark closet at dusk every day, beginning in late September or early October. Because the flower set depends on dark periods longer than 12 hours, keeping the plant completely dark from 5p.m. to 8 a.m. from the end of September to at least December 15 is very important. The dark period should continue until the floral bracts show definite color and are almost fully expanded. Temperatures should not fall below 55 degrees or go above 70 degrees and the poinsettia will need as much sunlight as possible. If you are having trouble with your poinsettia, look at the temperatures, light intensity, nutrition, and moisture in the soil or the photoperiod method. All these can cause delayed maturity in a poinsettia.
Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice. ~David Letterman The Newport News

3-D printing: Endless opportunity for finding and creating unique gifts Finding unique gifts for family and friends can be a daunting task. Instead of spending days scouring boutiques for that one-of-a-kind present, many smart gift-givers are turning to a new technology called 3-D printing. So, what exactly is 3-D printing? From the outside, these machines look a bit like giant refrigerators. But inside, advanced technology works to slowly layer materials - like stainless steel, porcelain, or plastic - into 3-D products. Three-dimensional printing can take anywhere from a couple hours to multiple days, depending on the complexity and size of the finished product. While this technology may seem out of reach for the average person, you may be surprised to learn that 3-D printing is now accessible to anyone with Internet access. With options to fit just about any budget, companies like Shapeways make it possible for you to find the perfect 3-D gift for anyone on your list. Here are some gift ideas to fit any personality type: Green thumbs: Add a touch of
green anywhere and everywhere with planters and bud vases for the front of the refrigerator, bike planters and more. Te c h g u r u s : F r o m c u s t o m smartphone cases to unique stands that turn tablets into televisions, you’ll find many items that enhance any type of mobile device. Coffee-lovers: Choose from a variety of whimsical espresso cups to brighten their daily morning ritual. Hipsters: Open a beer the classy way - with the Mo-Beer mustacheshaped bottle opener. Choose from basic black or hot pink, to fit any personality. Jewelry fanatics: From funky, fashionable bracelets to intricate necklaces, 3-D designed jewelry is unlike anything else. Ask the designer how you can customize the product by incorporating a message to a loved one. Do you have an idea for the perfect gift, but can’t seem to find it anywhere? Why not create it yourself? Bring your ideas to life by making your own 3-D design. The process is easier than you think:
Step 1: Use the tools available on Shapeways.com to create a 3-D model of your product, or upload a 2-D design to transform it into 3-D. Step 2: Once you’ve uploaded your model to Shapeways, choose a material from 3-D printing material options including plastics, metals and ceramics. Step 3: Place your order to have your custom product 3-D printed and delivered right to your door. Shapeways also offers a range of apps that make creating customized gifts very easy. Use Ring Creator to
design your own custom, 3-D printed ring. Choose from beautiful patterns or create your own. 2-D to 3-D lets you easily turn your 2-D designs into 3-D prints to make jewelry, art and more. Use the Crayon Creatures app to turn your children’s drawings into 3-D printed figurines and Cookie Caster to create your own custom cookie cutters. You can even create little 3-D clones of your loved ones with the ShapeMe app. With 3-D printing, you’re sure to discover an amazing gift like no other - one that is uniquely crafted and comes from the heart.

The Tradition of Santa Claus Santa Claus: A Christmas Tradition that is Celebrated Throughout the Entire World By Brenda Hoffman Everyone, everywhere celebrates Christmas. Santa Claus is the number one fan and symbol of this holiday. However, since Christmas is celebrated differently throughout the world it only makes sense that Santa is also seen differently throughout the world. Let’s take a look at some of the different countries and how they celebrate Christmas. Our first stop is France. Here Christmas is known as “Noel” and the children call Santa “Pere Noel.” The French have a Christmas tree that is decorated with real candles and bright red ribbons. They also decorate the outside of their house, especially if they have evergreen trees. They put lights on these trees and they leave them on for the entire night. Our next stop is the Eastern European country of Hungary. Here Santa Claus is called “Mikulas” which means “Winter Grandfather.” On December 5 children clean their rooms and take baths in expectation of Mikulas’ arrival on December 6. For children who are good Mikulas leaves candy and toys in their clean shoes. For naughty children Mikulas leaves a golden birch. This means that these children should get a spanking. On Christmas Eve baby Jesus and His angels bring presents and the Christmas tree. In order to give baby Jesus and His angels time to set everything up families either go to the movies or to a relative’s house on Christmas Eve. Our next stop is in Germany where they truly love to decorate for the holidays. Germans really like to put up electric candles and cover their homes with all kinds of lights and colors. The one special decoration that the Germans are known for is the Adventskranz. This is a leaf wreath that has four candles in it. Germans also like to place a manger scene inside of their home. The Germans do enjoy two times of gift receiving though. The first is on December 6 when St. Nicholas brings children small gifts. Then on Christmas Eve Father Christmas brings gifts to everyone. From Germany we move on to Latvia. This is one country that all children should think about moving to for Christmas time. In Latvia there are 12 days of Christmas celebrated, starting on Christmas Eve. This is also the home of the first ever Christmas tree, which came into being in the year 1510. The traditional Christmas meal consists of brown peas with bacon sauce, sausage, cabbage, and small pies. Now we are onto New Zealand. Here Christmas arrives in the middle of summertime. The Christmas dinner consists of foods that can be barbequed. This includes ham, shrimp and fish. There are parades in most towns during the holiday season. On Christmas Eve Santa Claus brings the children presents that they get to open on Christmas Day. It is interesting though that Latvia also celebrates Christmas again around July 15. It is at this time that it is actually cold enough to enjoy the type of Christmas dinner that we enjoy here in America. Regardless of what country you go to, Christmas is celebrated in some way. So, you should not ever worry that Santa will be unable to find you because he will

Design Diaries is a bi-weekly segment; meant to inspire, influence and educate homewoners that are ready to make a change to their homes but just don’t know where to start. Lighting up your home with style... Its that time of year again…the time to take the Christmas lights out of the attic. You know the drill, plug them all in to see which ones are working and which ones are only half lit. We love to decorate for the holidays. One thing we want to point out is that lights aren’t EVERYTHING! Here are some tips to help you think outside the bulb: • •
•
•
Come up with a theme – it can be anything from reindeer to snowmen. But if you have a theme, try to keep it consistent; Don’t put your The over the top, show off? reindeer with your snowmen. Garland – We love it! You can never have enough of it. But please make sure if you do use it, use it with purpose. Don’t just hang one little strand and call it good. Think outside box and use it in different ways. Wrap your posts with it or create a wreath out of it. You can even add some starfish and beads and make your own custom coastal garland. Outside decorating doesn’t mean you can’t use pieces that you would normally use indoors – if you have a covered porch feel free to bring out your favorite nutcracker or big Christmas ornaments. The Playful – overuse of the fiber Just remember to keep in mind; scale. Small decorations that optics? can’t be seen from the road are no good. Don’t forget the windows! This is where the details count. Think it through and make sure you go outside to see what it looks like from there.
Lastly, for those of you who insist on using lights for your Holiday décor, Keep it tasteful. No matter the colors or size, have a plan. No one wants to see light vomit on your front yard. Take your time, think The tasteful and simple – white it through. Use the proper equipment – lights that are falling down or lights? sloppy can bring down a neighborhood fast. So…which lighting culprit are you? SKD Studios wishes all of you a very Happy Holidays! Don’t forget to make your appointment for the new year! We look forward to meeting you! www.skdstudios.com The forget the lights and buy more Blow ups?

Red Carpet and Cocktails Supports Working Wardrobes Over 100 women (and a few men!) gathered at The Pacific Club for “Red Carpet & Cocktails,” an evening of style, shopping and socializing, all in support of Smart Women, a women’s giving collaborative supporting Working Wardrobes. Working Wardrobes empowers men, women, young adults and veterans to confidently enter the workforce through a variety of career development programs and VetNet, a comprehensive employment program for veterans. The man of the hour and the evening’s guest speaker was Style Guru and renowned Hollywood Costume Designer Luke Reichle. Luke designs for ABC’s hit TV series “Castle”,” Without a Trace” and “CSI Miami”, and he is also the author of the very popular eBook “It’s Not About the Clothes” with a loyal following of actors, producers, directors and private and corporate clients, offering style secrets and A-List advice on how to bring the glamour of the red carpet to your everyday dressing. The evening started off with a dramatic entrance complete with a beautiful Christmas tree in the foyer of the ball room along with a Champagne greeting! Pre-event shopping was also on tap where folks were able to purchase some very sweet deals of Channel, Dior, BCBG and others designer items. It was a perfect time to take advantage of some early holiday shopping with these table top pop-up shops from Working Wardrobes’ very own Hanger boutiques; retails stores that house and sell designer clothing, handbags, shoes and accessories at affordable prices, with proceeds helping the clients of Working Wardrobes find jobs they love. Two donation tables were also on display with beautiful designer purses and unique pieces of costume jewelry – the tables were filled with items and for a $100 or $50 donation, you were able to choose which table and item you wanted! Luke also mingled with the crowd giving his opinions to those who asked as well as his secrets for looking fabulous. “The room was absolutely buzzing—our Smart Women are dynamic and full of energy—and our guest speaker Luke Reichle moved us, inspired us and educated us!” said Jerry Rosen, CEO and Founder of Working Wardrobes. “We are so lucky to have such incredible and dedicated supporters who believe in our mission and want to see us serve more and more clients” she concluded. Guests also enjoyed appetizers that consisted of an Artisan Cheese Board resourced from the best creameries and dairies across the globe to serve a full assortment of artisan cheeses, served with the Pacific Club’s house made chutneys, compotes, dried fruits, and gourmet crackers. There was also Charcuterie Display with cured, roasted, and smoked meats, sausages and pates, served with French pickles, mustard, garlic aioli, house made relish and rustic breads. Luke then took to the podium with everyone listening intently, bowling over with laughter, and ferociously taking notes as he shared his extraordinary story, preached the importance of style from the inside out, and rattled off tips and tricks for creating an elegant, exciting and attainable personal style. Luke was also kind enough to stay after the event ended to chat and consult with many of the guests. The event raised over $6000 and several of the attendees joined the “Smart Women Giving Collaborative”.

Great holiday gifts for everyone on the list
The holiday season is quickly approaching and you may already be stressing about how to find items that everyone on your shopping list will love. Sure, you could pick up a generic gift certificate or hand over some cash in a bland holiday card, but you can do better than that. This year, avoid the socks and hand soaps and make everyone wish they received a present from you with the following great gift ideas. From the rugged outdoorsy type to the chefs in the kitchen and all your loved ones in between, there’s something for everybody. * For the on-the-go coffee or tea drinker: vacuum insulated travel tumbler For the busy, always traveling relative, coworker or loved one, the Thermos Brand Vacuum Insulated Travel Tumbler is the perfect gift this holiday season. Whether they’ll use it for running errands, during a weekend hike, or after a long meeting, this tumbler will keep liquids hot for
five hours or cold for up to nine hours. Constructed with an unbreakable stainless steel interior and exterior, this sleekly-designed tumbler stays cool to the touch with hot liquids and sweat-proof with cold liquids. This travel tumbler is BPA-free, durable, and includes a lid that can be operated with one hand, creating the perfect on-the-go sipping experience. It’s available in stainless steel silver, teal and plum, and for the tea drinkers in your life, this travel tumbler also contains a built-in tea hook that easily holds tea bags or most loose leaf infusers. * For the outdoors enthusiast: give fishing fanatics the ultimate lure When the angler in your life reaches for their tackle box, make sure they find fishing’s latest marvel, the Rapala Scatter Rap. An ideal stocking stuffer, the Scatter Rap Series flaunts classic balsa body shapes and an industry-first “Scatter Lip,” which delivers a one-of-a-kind evasive action. As the lure swims though the water, its uniquely curved
lip produces an erratic sweeping motion, mimicking a spooked baitfish fleeing attack and enticing predators to strike. The Scatter Rap Series is perfect for casting or trolling for multispecies game fish, comes in 14-to-16 tempting color patterns, and is available in four trusted Rapala silhouettes, including the Scatter Rap Crank, Scatter Rap Shad, Scatter Rap Minnow and Scatter Rap CountDown. A can’t-miss gift for outdoors enthusiasts, the Scatter Rap will take your loved one’s on-the-water fun to a new level. * For the snacker: fuel your holiday with flavor From marathon shoppingexcursions-to traveling to grandma’s house, having protein-based snacks on hand is key to maintaining your holiday stamina. With the abundance of carb-laden and fattening treats available, choosing snacks that are tasty and guilt-free is not always easy. Treat yourself, and the snack lovers on your shopping list to lean protein snacks like Jack Link’s Turkey Jerky. Made with premium cuts of white meat turkey, it tastes great, and is naturally high in protein, low in fat, calories and carbs. Slip a bag in your purse, glove compartment or your family’s holiday stockings for a delicious and satisfying, anytime and anywhere snack. Jack Link’s Turkey Jerky and dozens of other Jack Link’s Jerky products and flavors are available
in grocery stores, mass retailers, convenience and drug stores nationwide. * For the home chef: cooking essentials for every kitchen Whether your holiday gift list includes the next Martha Stewart or an amateur chef, having the right tools is essential to any homecooked masterpiece. With a-vast assortment of cookware, kitchen electrics, utensils and cutlery sets, Calphalon can help to make a loved one’s cooking dreams a reality. The home chef on your list will appreciate the gift of easy prep and easy cleanup with Calphalon’s Contemporary Nonstick Cookware.

Buying new electronics this season? Don’t trash the old ones! By Steve Skurnac Electronics are once again dominating holiday shopping lists this season. In fact, analysts with the Consumer Electronics Association predict shoppers will spend six percent more on electronics this year compared to last – or about $250 per consumer. And for every new laptop, tablet, phone, TV, gaming system and scores of other gadgets, an outdated device likely will be replaced. For those old electronics, the question is, “Now what?” First off, do not throw replaced electronics in the trash. Electronic devices are comprised of a range of toxic components that can be harmful to human health and the environment if discarded in the same waste stream as the rest of your household garbage. Trashed electronics, or “e-waste,” contain heavy metals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, which can leach out of landfills and into groundwater or nearby waterways. The good news is that there are several alternatives for disposing of your e-waste, including reuse and recycling. One ideal method that is in keeping with the holiday spirit is to find a local community electronics recycling fundraiser to properly dispose of your outdated electronics while helping to raise funds for a local organization. With the current economic climate most nonprofits, schools and other organizations are experiencing harder times. Not only will recycling benefit an organization in need, but the environment as well by diverting the e-waste from the landfill. Visit us.simsrecycling.com/events or contact your favorite nonprofit or other charitable organization to find an event near you. Another option is to look into electronics take-back programs. Many electronics retailers, like Best Buy or Staples, will accept your e-waste for free or a small handling fee, regardless of brand or condition. Several manufacturers, too, will take back retired products, although these take-back programs vary in terms of fees and conditions. A quick internet search of your local electronics retailer or manufacturers’ recycling policy will provide instructions for their take-back process. Many cities’ waste management divisions also have electronics recycling programs, though opportunities differ in size and scope. Some municipalities have designated e-waste collection sites, while others might host periodic events to collect e-waste. Typically municipalities contract with third-party e-waste Page 16
recyclers that process the collected material on behalf of the city. Check your city’s website to learn about opportunities to drop off your e-waste or have it collected. Finally, consumers should look to see if e-waste recycling companies, such as those that contract with cities, have a facility nearby. These companies usually contract with organizations and businesses to handle large volumes of e-waste, but many welcome materials directly from individuals. Depending on the company, some accept electronics at their local facility at any time, some have designated days for public dropoff and others host periodic collection events with local partners. Unfortunately, however, there are some bad seeds in the e-waste recycling industry. Individuals, municipalities and businesses should take several important steps before selecting a recycler, thereby ensuring their e-waste is properly managed. For example, make sure the recycler is either Responsible Recycler (R2) or e-Stewards certified, which is one indicator that the recycler is adhering to environmental best practices. Also, even if you think your electronic device has been cleared of personal data, be sure the recycler offers data destruction compliant with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to make certain all data is wiped clean. Lastly, ask with whom a recycler does business. Some recyclers don’t actually handle the recycling of equipment and only collect the material for recycling. Not knowing exactly where your electronics are being recycled could put you—and the environment—at risk. The best recyclers are those that “own the lifecycle,” offering a complete range of remarketing and recycling services internally, thereby eliminating reliance on subcontractors, and thus improving accountability and security. This holiday season when you are making room for your new electronic devices, remember there are plenty of homes for your old ones, but the garbage is not one of them.

Place of Sale: On the front steps to the entrance of the Orange Civic Center, 300 E. Chapman, Orange, CA. Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $1,713,364.07. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 500 39TH ST. NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92663. Described as follows: Lot 1 in Block 538 of “Canal Section, Newport Beach”, in the City of Newport Beach, County of Orange, State of California, as per Map recorded in Book 4, Page 98 of Miscellaneous Maps, in the Office of the County Recorder of said County.

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 (714) 848-9272 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 14-28726. 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. Dated: 11/22/2014 Law Offices of Les Zieve, as Trustee 30 Corporate Park, Suite 450, Irvine, CA 92606.

Trustor(s): ROBERT EAKIN AND KRISTIN EAKIN, HUSBAND AND WIFE AS COMMUNITY PROPERTY Recorded: 7/8/2003 as Instrument No. 2003000794323 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of ORANGE County, California; Date of Sale: 1/12/2015 at 9:00 AM Place of Sale: At the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Anaheim – Orange County, 100 The City Drive, Orange, CA 92868 in the Auction.com Room Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $264,388.96 The purported property address is: 1924 LEEWARD LN, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92660 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 117-731-15 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 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-14-609868AL . 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. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.
