Balboa Island is a location steeped in charm and luxury and the recent launch of the all new BalboaIsland. com provides an extensive travel guide for the man-made island destination in Newport Beach. With a brand new design and format, BalboaIsland.com is fully responsive and offers visitors a truly virtual experience. “The new BalboaIsland.com gives visitors and locals the information they are searching for, right at their fingertips,” said Robert Hart, project manager for BalboaIsland. com. “By utilizing the most up-todate technology and adhering to the latest tourism industry standards, we created a resource that not only captures the charm and beauty of Balboa Island, but also provides the most complete source of information about events and attractions as well as real estate and vacation rental options.” One unique feature on the new Page 2
BalboaIsland.com is the bird’s eye view video footage. Filmed using a high tech device similar to what Amazon Prime plans to use for its drone package delivery, the footage offers a rich virtual experience of the lush natural beauty and distinguished charm of Balboa Island. BalboaIsland.com has long served as a useful resource for travelers planning trips to Balboa Island. It features vacation rental property listings in addition to Balboa Island real estate opportunities. Visitors to the all-new BalboaIsland.com can still expect to find everything they have come to love about the site, but will now find the content they seek in a streamlined, user-centric format with a responsive interface that is easier to navigate. Since nearly half of online traffic related to travel queries come from mobile devices (according to research from HeBS Digital), the responsive features of BalboaIsland.
The Newport News
com were a top priority. Whether viewing the site on a desktop computer, a smartphone or even a tablet, the responsive design allows users to have an experience that is optimized regardless of the device being used. “With this project, our team wanted to offer Balboa Island visitors and residents a site they could easily use and conveniently access from whatever devices best suited their lifestyle,” said Hart. Not only is the new BalboaIsland. com responsive for optimized mobile viewing, but its design includes a new layout and content strategy. This data-driven approach allows users of the site to easily access the most commonly requested and popular features such as such as vacation rentals, events, dining, and transportation options. “An exclusive destination, Balboa Island offers a luxury lifestyle experience unlike any other and it
needed a website to set the tone,” said Hart. “California visitors have no shortage of attractions to enjoy, but the experience afforded by Balboa Island is unique. We wanted to design a web presence that would attract visitors and potential residents as well as businesses to this exclusive community to support and promote tourism and economic development in the area.” According to the most recent data from the California Travel and Tourism Commission, total direct travel spending in the state was $106.4 billion in 2012, a 4.5 percent increase from 2011 spending. Additionally, more than 917,000 jobs with earnings of $32.3 billion were directly supported by travel spending in the same year.

Fresh for the season: Top budget-friendly wardrobe trends
As the weather outside evolves to a fresh season, wardrobes are evolving too. Whether you’re shopping with your kids or you want a few new pieces for you and your spouse, incorporating some of the season’s top trends into your look is an easy way to stay stylish. The good news: this season is full of trends that are not only comfortable, but affordable too. Here are six trends for this season that will keep you looking great without breaking the bank: Innovative fabrics Being fashionable doesn’t mean
being uncomfortable. That’s where modern innovative fabrics take center stage. Many designers are now using fabrics that breath, stretch or wick perspiration. For example, dENiZEN from the Levi’s brand jeans, feature essential stretch, a denim that has a four-way stretch of up to 40 percent. These trendy jeans not only flatter in all the right places, they offer all-day comfort for any type of adventure. Colorful hats Beanies, fedoras, baseball caps, oh my! When it comes to fashion meeting function, there’s no better option than a great hat. Having a few in your collection means you can mix and match depending on your mood. Remember, accessories can be a good way to experiment with color, so a hat in rusty orange or vibrant teal might be the perfect way to integrate unique hues into your wardrobe. Classic patterns Checkers, houndstooth and pinstripes are classic patterns that never go out of style. Plaid is also -on-trend this season, popping up on runways around the world. Luckily, these patterns are available relatively cheap at many stores. Alternatively, hit vintage boutiques for affordable options that feature patterns that stand the test of time.
Slimming features From tanks that tuck and jeans that smooth, designs that slim are hot. Pants are a great way to incorporate this trend into your look. The innovative slimming features of dENiZEN from the Levi’s brand jeans create a fashion-forward look that complements any body shape. Available exclusively at Target, get a few in some of the season’s most popular styles, like the Essential Stretch Modern Skinny and Essential Stretch Modern Boot-cut. Lovely layers Layering is a fashionable way to stay warm when temperatures dip. Stay on trend by mixing textures and prints for a one-of-a-kind look. The trick to layering is to start with light fabrics and then build thickness with each layer. For example, start with a cotton tank or T-shirt, layer with a light cardigan or sweater, and finish with a thicker jean jacket or military-style blazer. Chunky knits From oversized sweaters to wool scarves, chunky knits are perfect to snuggle into on cool days. Cableknit sweaters are a great example, providing a preppy yet comfy look for both men and women. Keep in mind jewel tones are some of the hottest
colors; select a chunky knit in emerald green, royal purple or ruby red and you’ll have a ravishing, versatile addition to your wardrobe. These affordable trends will have you looking great no matter which way your personal style leans. From modern fabrics to classic patterns, your wardrobe will stand out this seasons and beyond.
Should You Buy Pet Insurance? By Jason Alderman One topic I’ve learned to avoid with new acquaintances until I know them better (along with politics and religion) is where they stand on the treatment of pets. Some people, when their dog gets sick or badly injured, say, “It’s an animal – that’s just part of the circle of life.” Others consider Rover a close family member and would take out a second mortgage to save his life. Pet owners from both camps probably see the barrage of ads for pet insurance and wonder whether it’s worth the expense, which might be several thousand dollars over the life of your pet. I did some research and the best answer I can come up with is, it depends. First, ask yourself: Do you regard pet insurance as a financial investment, where you expect to get back more in benefits than you paid out in premiums over the pet’s life? Or, is it more like auto or homeowner’s insurance, where you hope nothing ever goes seriously wrong, but you want coverage in case there’s a catastrophe? Either way, here are some basic Page 4
facts about pet insurance that may help you decide whether it’s right for you: Pet insurance shares many features with human health insurance: Policies typically have annual deductibles, copayments and exclusions, and some limit which veterinarians, clinics and hospitals you can use. But there are numerous differences as well. For example, pet insurers are allowed to refuse coverage for preexisting conditions and to set annual and lifetime payout limits. Among the many other restrictions you should watch for when comparing plans are: • Premiums vary greatly depending on where you live and may increase based on your pet’s age, breed, veterinary cost inflation and other factors. • Typically you must pay the vet or hospital bill out of pocket and get reimbursed later. • Many plans deny or restrict coverage for congenital or hereditary conditions (like hip dysplasia in dogs or kidney failure in cats) and preventable conditions like
The Newport News
periodontal disease. • Along with annual and lifetime maximums on benefits paid out, there may be a limit on how much it will pay for treatment of an individual illness or accident. • If your pet suffers a particular disorder one year, don’t be surprised if that condition is excluded at renewal – or if you’re required to pay an additional fee for future coverage. • Pets over certain age limits frequently are denied coverage. • Certain breeds are often excluded or only eligible for restricted coverage. • Some carriers let you augment your accident and illness policy with optional “wellness care” coverage for things like spaying and neutering, annual physicals, vaccines and routine tests. Make sure the additional premium is worth the extra cost. Perhaps the biggest challenge when choosing pet insurance is trying to compare plans, apples to apples. There are about a dozen carriers in the U.S. Each offers a variety of plans with varying deductible, copayment and maximum coverage amounts,
as well as different covered benefits and exclusions. You can go directly to their websites for plan details and to request a quote, or use an independent comparison website to pull quotes from multiple carriers. I’d recommend creating a spreadsheet to compare benefits and costs side by side, just as you would when shopping for auto insurance. Bottom line: If you decide pet insurance isn’t right for you, at least be sure you’re setting money aside to cover expected – and unexpected expenses.

Festival Ballet Theatre of Orange County announced that renowned guest artists will perform in March production at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. Gillian Murphy and Cory Stearns, principal dancers with American Ballet Theatre will portray Giselle and her beloved Albrecht in Festival Ballet Theatre’s production. Giselle March 22-23, 2014 Festival Ballet Theatre will present Giselle, one of the oldest and most romantic of the classical ballets, featuring ballet superstars, Gillian Murphy and Cory Stearns. This production follows Festival Ballet’s immensely popular Nutcracker, which featured sold-out audiences throughout its 16-show run at the Irvine Barclay Theatre. Hauntingly ethereal and poetic, Giselle is the spectacular story of love, trust and forgiveness. Giselle, a beautiful peasant girl, falls deeply in love, only to discover betrayal and loss. The role is considered one of the most beautiful and challenging in all of ballet, and Murphy is exceptionally suited for the lead role. She recently performed Giselle in the New Zealand Ballet live, on stage and in a beautiful film production of the story. “Gillian Murphy gave a staggering performance as the doomed young woman, providing an enchanting and intelligent display and conveying a real sense of character through gesture, dance and acting,” says dance critic John Daly-Peoples of The National Business Review. A glimpse of the film can be found at http://www.youtube. com/watch?v=P9AEZkXnjwY. Giselle was originally presented in 1842 in Paris, scored by Adolphe Adam and choreographed by Jules Perrot and Jean Coralli. The ballet is famous for its beauty, and the
corps scenes portraying the Willis are both exquisite and haunting. In Giselle, the dancers must master the technical and expressive elements of the choreography, from joy to despair, from naïve and carefree to facing harsh realities…discovering that life has no purpose without love. Appearing in the lead roles with Festival Ballet are guest artists of the highest caliber, along with FBT’s highly accomplished company dancers. Gillian Murphy, a principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre (ABT), is one of America’s most treasured ballet stars. Her repertoire with ABT includes the most challenging roles in dance, including Polyhymnia in Apollo, Nikiya and Gamzatti in La Bayadère, the Ballerina in The Bright Stream, Cinderella in Cinderella, Swanilda inCoppélia, Medora and Gulnare in Le Corsaire, Kitri in Don Quixote,Titania in The Dream, the Accused in Fall River Legend, second girl in Fancy Free, Lise in La Fille mal gardée, the pas de deux Flames of Paris, Grand Pas Classique, Myrta in Giselle, among others. In 2012 she performed the role of Giselle with the Contact: Connie Jankowski Festival Ballet Theatre Phone: (714) 962 5440 Fax: (714) 962 9383 9527 Garfield Ave. Fountain Valley, CA 92708 Festivalballet.org Cory Stearns appeared with Festival Ballet in 2013 with Hee Seo in Don Quixote, and with Veronika Part in the 2012 Gala of the Stars. Stearns studied on a full scholarship to the Royal Ballet School in London, then joined American Ballet Theatre’s Studio Company in September 2004. He was selected for the main
company 2005 and became Principal Dancer in January 2011. Stearns’ repertory includes The Awakening Pas de Deux, Solor in La Bayadère, Her Prince Charming in Cinderella, Conrad in Le Corsaire, Basilio and Espada in Don Quixote, Oberon in The Dream, Kaschei in Firebird, The Nutcracker Prince in Alexei Ratmansky’s The Nutcracker, Onegin in Onegin, and, Romeo and Paris in Romeo and Juliet.

Chicago goes to war with Asian carp
By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent, BBC News, Chicago Chicago is considering drastic measures to prevent giant fish infesting North America’s Great Lakes. Authorities are thinking of blocking the city’s canal system to stop Asian carp entering Lake Michigan. Such a move could cost up to $18 billion and cause huge economic disruption to the city. Cheaper options are also being examined, including making burgers out of the fish and eating them to extinction. This species of carp, as the name suggests, is native to the Far East. They were originally introduced to southern US states more than three decades ago to control algal build-up in sewage treatment plants. But they escaped into the Mississippi River and proliferated, making their way north towards the Great Lakes. More than a metre in length, they have displaced indigenous fish species along the way. Technological solutions Dozens of them will often leap out of the water as boats approach. A local environmental campaigner, Michael Beecham, told a public
consultation on the issue about his experience of this frightening spectacle. “I’ve gone down the river and had these fish jump up and hit me in the face. It is a big problem for our natural species,” he said. The meeting was organised by the US Army Corps of Engineers, which has been asked by Congress and the White House to come up with a technological solution to the carp problem. Its study has put forward several options, one of which involves blocking parts of Chicago’s canal system. This might take 25 years to complete. Col Frederick Drummond said that the issue had emotional as well as financial factors. “I tell folks it’s a very complex study. There are 9.1 million people in Chicago and over a period of 100 years that canal has been there and the economic impact is considerable.” Dinner proposal Listening in at the meeting was John Goss, representing the White House, who was worried about the effect that having permanent barriers in the canal system would have on industry. “It would certainly increase the cost
of transportation,” he told BBC News. “It is currently very cheap and efficient to bring materials and finished goods down that Chicago ship canal. The steel industry, for example, depends on scrap metal by barge.” The carp have worked their way up the Mississippi Another cheaper option, not suggested by the Corps of Engineers report, is to eat the fish out of existence. Dirk Fucik is selling carp burger at his specialist fish shop not far from downtown Chicago. He tells me he thinks the carp are a great resource. “To catch it and throw it away is a waste,” he says. “Eating them helps solve the problem and also provides jobs.” Mr Fucik’s burgers, mixed with lemon zest and pepper, did not taste bad at all. But the idea has not yet caught on. So far, he is the only person in the whole of Chicago selling carp burgers. International perspective Although the Asian carp may
appear to be an issue only for the US states and Canadian provinces, Roger Germann, of the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, said the rest of the globe should also be concerned. “Twenty per cent of the world’s freshwater is in the Great Lakes, and from an economic standpoint it will affect shipping that folks in the UK and other parts of the world might rely on to get their goods and services here because they are going to cost more to transport.” Illinois and neighbouring states will have to find a solution soon. Many believe the fish are unstoppable and that it is only a matter of time before they make the Great Lakes their new home. The carp problem was also being discussed in town at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

SOLO EXHIBITIONS FOR CELEBRATED CALIFORNIA ARTISTS WAYNE THIEBAUD, MILLARD SHEETS, AND DANA HAREL OPEN AT LAGUNA ART MUSEUM FEBRUARY 23 On February 23, 2014, Laguna Art Museum opens three new exhibitions to the public: Wayne Thiebaud: American Memories; Travels with Millard Sheets, 1950–1986; and ex•pose: dana harel. The exhibitions will close June 1, 2014. The museum’s current exhibition, ex•pose: richard kraft has been extended to February 2. It was originally slated to close January 19. WAYNE THIEBAUD: AMERICAN MEMORIES
Following Wayne Thiebaud’s recent gift to Laguna Art Museum of a painting and a group of six prints, the museum will host an exhibition on its main level of 60 paintings, drawings, and prints from all periods of the artist’s career. It will be a sequel to the museum’s previous major Thiebaud exhibition, Wayne Thiebaud: Seventy Years of Painting, featuring a wholly new selection of works and exploring different themes. In addition, the 92-year-old artist has created a brand new painting to be debuted in the exhibition. Celebrated for his depictions of everyday objects such as pies, cakes, and pinball machines, as well as his San Francisco cityscapes and Sacramento Valley landscapes, Wayne Thiebaud has been central to California art’s growing reputation, nationally and internationally. He is undoubtedly among the world’s greatest living painters. Thiebaud has shown in numerous exhibitions and received many awards, including the National Medal of Arts, presented by President Clinton in 1994. His paintings are in the collections of most major museums in the United States, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He is represented by Acquavella, New York, and the Paul Thiebaud Gallery, San Francisco. T R AV E L S W I T H M I L L A R D SHEETS, 1950-1986 On loan from the E. Gene Crain Collection will be a selection of paintings by California artist Millard Sheets (1907–1989). The exhibition is curated by Laguna Art Museum’s Curator of Historical Art Janet Blake, and will be on show in the museum’s upper-level gallery. Over twenty paintings dating from 1950 to 1986 will highlight the artist’s travels around the world. Sheets had wanderlust while still a student at Chouinard
School of Art in 1928. After winning several prizes for his paintings, he embarked for Europe, where he spent six months traveling, painting, and studying lithography in Paris. During the 1930s he made numerous trips to Mexico and Hawaii. He was an artistcorrespondent for Life magazine during World War II, assigned to the China-Burma-India front. He developed a deep affection for the people of India and sympathy for their way of life and vowed that some day he would return. Serving as an American Art Specialist—an arts ambassador— Sheets and his wife visited the Soviet Union, Turkey, and Uzbekistan. In 1966, he began conducting painting workshops around the world. Over the next twenty years, those workshops would take him to Greece, Japan, Thailand, Nepal, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, the British Isles, Yugoslavia, Tahiti, Moorea, Fiji, New Zealand, France, Spain, Portugal, Hawaii, China, and Egypt. In 1967, he went around the world, departing from Los Angeles to Hawaii, then to Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Lebanon, Greece, and London before returning to Los Angeles. In 1984, at the age of seventy-seven, he conducted two workshops backto-back, in India and Hong Kong, and in 1985 he would make his last trip—to Italy, Greece, and Egypt. His wife, Mary, who accompanied him on these trips, spoke of his paintings of foreign lands as colorful travelogues, documents of her “wonder-filled” life with her husband. EX•POSE: DANA HAREL
Dana Harel’s first museum exhibition in the U.S. presents a new series of work, Between Dreams and Nightmares, on display in the museum’s lower level galleries. The series is drawn from the artist’s
relationships to the men in her family and ties to military life: “As an Israeli female soldier, a daughter of a soldier, a wife of a soldier, and a mother of a young sensitive male, I have witnessed men in their most intimate and tender moments, sometimes in the most unexpected of places. I draw on this experience and perspective in my work, sifting through the memories and truths that have shaped me as a woman…” Between Dreams and Nightmares consists of mixed media drawings of strongly lit figures with deep shadows, all distorted in one form or another. They are a reflection of the messiness of war and its effects on the survivors: “When gladiators depart the ring or soldiers return from battle, they must suppress their inner animal, but the reptile brain, having being stimulated for so long does not sleep easy.” .The exhibition also includes Wrestling with God, a large-scale drawing that stems from the narrative of Jacob wrestling an angel in the Book of Genesis. Harel references this ambiguous moment as a way of illustrating the male psyche in a place of perpetual war. Harel uses boxing and wrestling images marked by moments of tenderness. ex•pose is a contemporary art program curated by Grace KookAnderson, curator of contemporary art at Laguna Art Museum. Focusing on one emerging or mid-career artist at a time, the program encourages the development of new projects and an immersive involvement with the museum’s Young Artists Society Gallery program. ex•pose aims to present a diverse range of artists working in all mediums. EX•POSE: RICHARD KRAFT (closes February 2) In the fifth exhibition in Laguna Art Museum’s ex•pose series, Los Angeles-based artist Richard Kraft presents a new body of work. Combining a succession of films he has made since summer 2012, he has created a video installation fully surrounding the viewer. Although there are several locations—Los Angeles, New York, and India— the collective experience is less about particular geographic locations than about a state of being and the multifaceted wonder of seeing. Anchored by a set of images from the Hindu holy city of Varanasi, the films contrast and complement each other, constantly shifting while creating a visual thread of interconnected life forms. Because of the varying length of the films and the multiple locations of the projections, no single viewer can take in the entirety. The complete experience is an accumulation of viewings over time. A new departure for Kraft, the installation continues his exploration of the possibilities of film, photography, collage, and performance. In a smaller gallery, Kraft mainly
uses imagery from Kapitan Kloss, a Polish Cold War comic book from the 1970s. These works are collaged and photographed to give the scale of broadside propaganda. The construction of text and images create a disruptive narrative, while their layers allow for multiple readings, inviting viewers to enjoy the absurd. ABOUT LAGUNA ART MUSEUM Laguna Art Museum is a museum of California art. Its mission is to collect, care for, and exhibit works of art that were created by California artists or represent the life and history of the state. Through its permanent collection, its special loan exhibitions, its educational programs, and its library and archive, the museum enhances the public’s knowledge and appreciation of California art of all periods and styles, and encourages art-historical scholarship in this field. Laguna Art Museum stands just steps from the Pacific Ocean in the beautiful city of Laguna Beach. The museum is proud to continue the tradition of the Laguna Beach Art Association, founded in 1918 by the early California artists who had discovered the town and transformed it into a vibrant arts community. The gallery that the association built in 1929 is part of today’s Laguna Art Museum.

Stay Fresh Throughout Your Day
When walking into a meeting, after lunch, before a presentation, or making a new acquaintance, the last thing you want to worry about is not looking your best. In a society based on a go-go-go lifestyle, quick mirror checks can give you that extra boost of confidence before important moments in life. Here are some tips to help you look your best throughout the day. Mid-day Mirror Check For many people, breaking for lunch often means running to a nearby restaurant for a quick bite before returning to the office. Take a moment to freshen-up prior to heading back to work, because you never know when you’ll need to be at your very best. * Touch-up that makeup. Often in the course of the morning, makeup can rub off or smear. Do a check in the mirror to reapply concealer or mascara. Using a pre- and postmakeup primer will also help keep your makeup from smearing. * Post-lunch check. Before you reapply any lip product, freshen up your mouth. On-the-go products such as the Colgate(r) Wisp(r) mini-brushes are perfect for a quick brushing that will keep your mouth clean and fresh, with no rinsing required. Plus they are
small enough to pack in a purse or keep in your desk drawer. Check out the full line at www.ColgateWisp.com. * Apply fragrance. Perfume, cologne and body spray will often fade over the course of the morning. Take an opportunity to re-apply in the afternoon. Remember to be mindful of those with whom you share office space. Opt for light scents and don’t over-apply. * Style your ‘do. Combing or brushing your locks can help re-set your hairstyle. Products such as hairspray and dry shampoo can give your style additional body and boost. * Drink your H20. The benefits of drinking water show in your mood and in your skin. Staying hydrated will help prevent you from running low on energy and will keep your skin looking fresh. Make sure you have a water bottle at your desk and drink up! Before the Big Pitch When preparing for an important meeting, use mirror time to run through your talking points while prepping your look. * Straighten that tie. Make sure to check your attire. It doesn’t hurt to have a backup suit or outfit in the office in the event of a coffee collision. Having another option will keep you stress-free in those moments
following a spill. * Stash those products. Keep a supply of travel-sized personal care products in a drawer at the office. Store a comb, deodorant with antiperspirant, cologne, contact lens solution or eye drops, a lint roller and pocket mirror. These items are great to have on hand for last-minute meetings or to freshen up after a midday walk or trip to the gym.
* Keep those pearly whites fresh. A clean mouth is important for making a good impression. Post-coffee or following lunch, consider using a Colgate(r) Wisp(r) for a convenient brush to refresh your mouth. These tips will help you feel confident and focus on what’s important, whether you’re presenting during a meeting or heading to a date straight from the office.

Add a bit of pop to your jeans by adding fabric panels at the sides open the side seams and sew in some fabric all the way down. For a simpler touch, add lace or ribbon down the side seams for a chic effect, or cover the back pockets in a unique design.

to a favorite T-shirt by transforming it into a halter top. Start with a crew neck T-shirt, remove the sleeves, cut a v-shape in the front and back, then trim straight across the back at the bottom of the v-shape to create straps. To embrace another fun trend, add some fringe to the bottom of a t-shirt. For best results, start with a T-shirt that’s a bit longer. Mark where you want the fringe to start; next, use a ruler to measure even strips. Then, snip, snip. Stick to it Father’s favorite fix-all isn’t just for home repairs anymore - duct tape clothing and accessories are everywhere. A recent episode of the popular fashion design program “Project Runway” even featured an Unconventional Materials Challenge asking the designers to create dresses using Duck Tape brand duct tape. “What is great about making a dress out of Duck Tape is that you can always change as you go - the -dress is never set in stone, because it’s tape,” says Michelle Lesniak Franklin, winner of the Duck Tape Unconventional Materials Challenge and Season 11 of “Project Runway.” Flexible and fun, Duck Tape can be used to create entire garments or to simply add a bit of color and pattern to existing clothing and accessories. For instance, cut out a personalized
The Newport News
monogram using Duck Tape Sheets to add some style to a handbag or backpack, make a funky flower ring or create colorful waterproof flips flops using a few of the hundreds of colors and prints available. Embellish away Stenciling or painting on fabric is another easy way to turn basic clothing into sophisticated styles. Create your own customized stencils using contact paper, or find plenty of options at your local craft store or on websites like Etsy. Just pick up some fabric paint, lay out your stencil and get to work. For a super simple - but definitely eye-catching - transformation, try replacing the buttons on a favorite sweater or jacket with new buttons in an unexpected color, fabric or texture. Adding beads, ribbon or lace are additional options for making your clothing your own. Not ready to make over your favorite existing pieces? Experiment with finds from a local consignment store, Goodwill or Salvation Army shop - you’ll often discover gently used or like-new clothing for just a few dollars, and you won’t have to worry if your design goes awry. For more fun fashion do-it-yourself ideas, check out Pinterest, crafting websites like Craftster, or try to recreate styles from the pages of your favorite fashion magazine.

Orange County Go Red For Women Luncheon Raises Over $350,000 More than 500 community leaders celebrated heart health at the Orange County Go Red For Women Luncheon at The Island Hotel in Newport Beach. The event raised $354,500 for the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women campaign designed to raise awareness of heart disease – the No. 1 killer of women – and empower women to live healthier lives. “Working for a company focused on heart valve innovations, I meet and hear many stories about patients…patients who become a part of me and remind me every single day that heart disease is their number one killer,” said Christine McCauley, corporate vice president, human resources at Edwards Lifesciences. “As chairwoman of the 2014 Go Red For Women luncheon, these stories took on even greater meaning, and I feel proud of what we were able to accomplish.” The luncheon program started with toasts led by 10 local heart disease and stroke survivors commemorating the 10th anniversary of Go Red For Women in Orange County and highlighting some of the successes in the fight against heart disease over the past decade. “Raise your glass and toast to the 650,000 women’s lives that have been saved since the inception of Go Red For Women in 2004,” said Diane Graf, a heart disease and stroke survivor. Judy Brandt, also a heart disease survivor said, “Keep those glasses raised because 90 percent of women who have joined Go Red have made at least one behavior change to live healthier lives.” Najla DeBow, the passion speaker, took the audience 10 years back when she suffered a heart attack. DeBow lived a healthy lifestyle and was not considered to be a typical candidate for a heart attack, but she has a history of heart disease in her family. “Every female on my mother’s side died from heart disease,” she said. Like many women, DeBow dismissed her symptoms as anything but heart attack warning signs. “The story is different now, 10 years later. Because of Go Red For Women, more women know that their No. 1 health threat is heart disease. More women know the signs of a heart attack. These are all things I wish the women before me could have known. Maybe I wouldn’t have been the only woman in my family who has survived heart disease. I’m grateful for all the American Heart Association has done and hopeful for the future,” DeBow said. Cindy Burns of the Funniest Housewives of Orange County brought the house down with her comedy routine. Before the luncheon got underway, guests bid on purses and jewelry during the silent auction and attended a question and answer session with heart disease and stroke experts hosted by UC Irvine Health, as well as a panel discussion hosted by Edwards Lifesciences on the topic of women and philanthropy. Luncheon attendees also had fun at the Picture and a Promise booth where they took a picture demonstrating a promise to love their heart and start living a healthier lifestyle. The photograph will be emailed to the participants as a reminder of their promise. The Go Red For Women Luncheon is sponsored nationally by Macy’s and locally sponsored by presenting sponsor The Edwards Lifesciences Fund; heart of gold sponsors Datron, Specialized Marketing Services and UC Irvine Health; silver sponsors Abbott Medical Optics and MicroVention Terumo; and bronze sponsors AMSolutions Group, Baxter Credit Union, Shook, Hardy & Bacon, St. Joseph Health and Roth Staffing Companies. Go Red For Women gives women a fighting chance against heart disease by helping them understand their common killer, take action, and be the difference between life and death. It offers educational programs to advance women’s understanding of their risk for heart disease and provides tools to help women live healthier, stronger lives. For more information, visit www.

TALENT BLOOMS IN VIBRANT MUSICAL COLORS FOR TWO PACIFIC SYMPHONY YOUTH ENSEMBLES SPRING CONCERTS
Two captivating displays of youthful musicality take place next month as Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra (PSYO) and Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble (PSYWE) perform an impressive range of music for their individual spring concerts. The students are bonded more than at any other time during the year, having recently returned from winter retreats, and have prepared some challenging repertoire to perform for the community. Led by Music Director Alejandro Gutiérrez, PSYO travels for the first time to Soka Performing Arts Center in Aliso Viejo, on Saturday, March 1, at 3 p.m., to perform a concert of 20th-century music by Prokofiev, John Williams, James Newton Howard, Ginastera and more. Then, the exuberant sounds of PSYWE are heard the following weekend on Sunday, March 9, at 3 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Led by Music Director Joshua Roach, the wind ensemble performs and narrates Mussorgsky’s masterwork, “Pictures at an Exhibition,” and plays exciting music by Shostakovich, Grainger, Barber and Barnes. Tickets are $12, general admission; for more information or to purchase, call (714) 755-5799 or visit www. PacificSymphony.org. “I always love the spring session for the youth ensembles,” says Maestro Roach. “The growth of young adult musicians during each of their years in high school is astonishing. If you compare a student’s playing six months apart during the year, you might not think it would be the same player! Also, we spend an intense weekend together at a retreat in January, and after this, everyone comes to know one another so much better that the group really begins to form its own culture. It’s very exciting, and it means that the level of musicmaking rises.” Maestro Gutiérrez adds, “At the retreat, the students had the
opportunity to get to know each other better, socialize and participate in a session of acting and group exercises, which helped them to feel and share the energy around them while performing, be more expressive and work as a team. I’m most proud of their positive attitude and the high level of performance they are accomplishing.” Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra The outstanding young musicians of PSYO dive into an afternoon of 20th-century music that ranges from well-known film scores to music from the electroacoustic and neoclassical movements, with a little Argentinian flare to wrap it all up. “For me it is very important to expose the youth orchestra to as many varieties of genres, musical styles and different ways of musical expression as possible,” says Gutiérrez. “The diversity of musical movements that occurred during the 20th century offers the possibility to expand that exposure beyond the traditional orchestral repertoire.” The program opens with “Tuning Up” for orchestra, written by Edgard Varèse, known as the “Father of Electronic Music.” “The piece by Varèse, ‘Tuning Up,’ is the only one on the program that could be affiliated with the modernism period in the late 1940s— for his intention to organize the sound experienced during the tuning of an orchestra and the adding of extra noise, with sirens and percussion, into a short piece of music,” says Gutiérrez. “My goal with this piece is to teach the members of the orchestra about this experimental musical language of the 20th century that has been so difficult for audiences to digest due to the lack of proper ways to deliver it in concert contexts.” Movie music follows as the orchestra performs John Williams’ theme from “Jurassic Park” and James Newton Howard’s themes from the Disney film, “Dinosaur”;
scores which are also being played alongside Pacific Symphony at the Family Musical Mornings concert, “Dinosaurs!” selections from Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet” center the program, with guest narration by Richard Soto, an actor at South Coast Repertory. The concert concludes with bravura, as the orchestra plays “Suite Estancia” by Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera. “The Suite from the ballet ‘Estancia’ by Alberto Ginastera is rich in rhythm, textures, sonorities and folk traditions from Latin America that were a nuance during the second half of the 20th century. This suite offers the orchestra quite different challenges and demands that are crucial for the musical development of the students, but also gives a great variety to the whole program.” Pacific Symphony Youth Wind Ensemble The talented woodwind, brass and percussion players of PSYWE deliver a program of favorites chosen by Music Director Roach. To open, the wind ensemble captures the audience’s attention with the lightningfast tempo of Shostakovich’s “Galop” from his only operetta “Moscow, Cheryomushki.” Then, Grainger’s light and airy “Handel in the Strand” gives way to Barber’s rousing “Commando March.” Barnes’ Third Symphony is a farewell to the memory of his daughter, with a finale that brightens with fulfillment and joy, as the composer reflects the blessing of his new baby son. “I had a wonderful experience when I was younger performing ‘Handel in the Strand,’ and I hope to pass along to the students the joy of playing this little gem from the master, Percy Grainger,” says Roach. “I have always wanted to perform Barber’s ‘Commando March,’ and though it is short, there is meat for everyone in the ensemble to sink their teeth into. Barnes’ Third Symphony for Band is an enormous work, and the third
movement, the Mesto, has such a heartbreaking story behind it, and is so beautiful and beautifully written for the wind ensemble.” The young musicians return from intermission to perform Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” in its entirety, arranged for wind ensemble by Merlin Patterson. Roach explains: “It was originally my intention to perform only selections of ‘Pictures,’ but I challenged the ensemble to prove to me that they could tackle the entire work, and a few weeks ago, they did. ‘Pictures at an Exhibition’ is a masterwork that has such a clear and powerful connection to the visual art that inspired its composition. As was Patterson’s goal in orchestrating it, this setting fully utilizes the modern wind ensemble with its instrumental combinations and colors. It has been a wonderful process exploring the work with PSYWE.” Pacific Symphony Youth Ensembles (PSYE) is a premier performance program, nurturing and inspiring young artists in grades 6 through 12. More than 423 students auditioned for places in the three PSYE this year—a record-breaking number! PSYE provides members with a high-quality and innovative artistic experience and strives to encourage musical and personal growth through the art of performance. The Youth Ensembles include three performing ensembles: PSYO, PSYWE and Pacific Symphony Santiago Strings. All three benefit from the artistic vision of Music Director Carl St.Clair, who acts as the artistic advisor for all activities. Representing 72 schools in and beyond Orange County, PSYE performs in the world-class Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, as well as at other venues in Orange County. Students enjoy a variety of interactions with Pacific Symphony musicians including sectional coachings, master classes and side-by-side performances.

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.
