Well, Wrap Me in Chocolate and Call Me a Valentine By Nancy V Canfield Describing chocolate is like trying to bail out a boat with a fish net. It just can’t be done. Chocolate is different things to different people. It does seem that the only thing we can all agree on is that chocolate and Saint Valentine’s Day go together like Cheech and Chong. Chocolate is an extraordinary gift, and has been since ancient times. The Aztecs, in 1400, traded with Maya for cacao.. They seasoned bitter chocolate drinks with spices, and offered the sacred brew as a favorite social drink for rulers, decorated soldiers, and merchants. Priests presented the cacao seeds to the gods as offerings and celebrated sacred ceremonies with chocolate drinks. Throughout the ages, chocolate has held its place as the most satisfying of edible delights. Why does chocolate make us feel good? Without expanding on the scientific explanations of the effect chocolate has on us, let’s just say that stimulants and chemicals in chocolate affect our central nervous system and brain, elevating our mood, calming our anxiety, and evoking feelings similar to those described as “a runner’s high.”
Of course there will be mood busters who decry the sinfulness of chocolate. The fat and sugar contained in chocolate more than outweigh the benefits, say the pompous and grumpy food police, who would have us all survive on bark, twigs, and grubs for our own good and the good of the planet. To them I say...hogwash. The wondrous effect that this heavenly, sensual, and gratifying substance offers feeds not only the body but the very soul. The name for the tree from which chocolate is made, Theobroma cacao, in Greek means “food of the gods.” If chocolate was good enough for the Gods, then by golly, it is good enough for me. Chocolate not only does things to us, it says things for us. As a gift, it covers a multitude of occasions nicely, but first and foremost, it is the Valentine’s Day representation

to bestow upon the love of your life. It is wickedly suggestive, and sinfully pleasurable. Sure, a big fat diamond is nice, but surround the rock with the seductiveness of chocolate and you have an unforgettable moment of passionate surrender. Plus, you can eat the better part of the gift. Oh, all right. I may be overplaying the chocolate angle a bit, but when you get right down to it, there are few of us who can resist a big ol’ hunk of chocolate?
For those out there toying with breaking tradition and buying the love of your life something silly for Valentine’s Day, like a Ferrari or a mink coat, I say...think again! Not only will you save yourself a bundle of money by sticking with tradition, you will reap the rewards of being a sentimental slob, which is sure to arouse the loving and protective instincts of romantics everywhere. So, this Valentine’s Day, wrap up in chocolate and call yourself a Valentine!

Hands-on advice for getting the best from your touchscreen mobile device Few inventions have evolved as amazingly fast from science fiction to science fact as touchscreen technology. From its very basic beginnings in the mid-1960s to the first consumer applications on ATM machines in the ‘80s, touchscreen technology has reached virtually everywhere - including our pocketsized mobile devices. As astounding as the touchenabled smartphone or mobile device is, you still need to handle and use it wisely in order to ensure its optimal functionality. Here is some hands-on advice to help ensure you get the best out of your mobile device. Taking care of your touchscreen You may be surprised to learn that the glass touchscreen on your mobile device is one of its most durable parts. That’s because it’s most likely made of Corning Gorilla Glass, a tough glass - created by the glass scientists at Corning - that is featured on more than 1.5 billion devices worldwide. In the early days of touchscreen technology, device-makers used plastic solutions to protect LCD screens in mobile devices. The plastic scratched easily and lacked the smooth, aesthetic appeal and feeling of glass. Soda lime glass,
most commonly known as window glass, was another material used for screens at the time, but it wasn’t durable enough for everyday use. Chemically strengthened Gorilla Glass provides the design aesthetics and naturally appealing feel of glass, and is a superior conductor for touchscreen technology. Thin yet tough, this industry-leading glass makes many of the display and touch-enabled aspects of your device possible. The glass is durable and is designed to help sustain minor scratches and continue to work for the life of the device. It requires only basic, common-sense care and cleaning - no special cleansers required. To learn more about Gorilla Glass, visit www.corninggorillaglass. com. Prevent water damage Keeping your mobile device out of the water may seem like an obvious precaution, but more than one smartphone has died a sad, wet death because someone used it in the rain, swimming pool or bath tub. Remember, your mobile is an electrical device - it has a battery and water and electricity generally don’t mix well. What’s more, the inner workings of the device are not meant to be exposed to contaminants - liquid
or otherwise. Getting your phone wet almost always means you’ll have to replace it. If you do accidently immerse your phone in water, remove it immediately and promptly take out the battery. Contact the device manufacturer to see if they have any advice for this type of damage. You can also try packing the phone in rice. The rice grains act as a natural moisturegrabber (it’s why some people put rice in their salt shakers) and may help remove enough water to allow the phone to function again. Battery basics Although mobile device batteries seem to tout longer charges every year, the more you use your device and the more functions you perform with it - the faster your battery will drain. Your phone probably has a function that details exactly how much power each app is drawing. Start by shutting off or de-installing apps you don’t use. Next, if your device has Gorilla Glass, you may want to turn down the screen brightness. With Gorilla Glass’ excellent transmission performance, you may not need the highest levels of brightness. If you use your device for social media and email, change the settings so that these applications only update
when you manually direct them to do so. Automatic checking for new emails, tweets and posts consumes a lot of battery power. You can also turn off vibration alerts, which take a toll on battery use. Finally, disconnect the Wi-Fi on your device. Not only does searching for Wi-Fi drain the battery, connecting to wireless networks that may or may not be secure exposes you to hacking. It’s actually much more likely that a cyber attack will affect your device than the risk that a scratched screen will end its usable life. In 2012, more than 65,000 mobile malware threats affected nearly 33 million Android devices, according to a security report by NQ Mobile Inc.

Themed baking cups coordinate with colorful sprinkles, icing decorations and party picks to make it easy to decorate a gift from the heart. Dress up cupcakes using a pink, red and white palette.

5 great skincare tips for cooler temperatures Yes, the cooler months are here and sumnmer is a way off. That means long coats, scarves and an entirely different skincare routine. Skincare you say? True, it’s easy to forget about your skin when it’s covered by all those extra layers, but dermatologist Dr. Anne Chapas, who is the founder and medical director of Union Square Dermatology, says cooler months are when skincare, particularly lip care, is most important. “The skin is our first line of defense against environmental elements, but the skin on our lips has extremely unique properties. It is one of the most sensitive areas of skin, so they require special attention in order to maintain a healthy appearance,” says Dr. Chapas. With that in mind, Dr. Chapas offers these tips to help you keep your lips and the rest of your skin feeling and looking healthy no matter the temperature. * Nurture your lips. The cooler months are hard on your lips. Not only are they exposed to cooler temperatures daily, behavioral habits like biting or licking your lips can also be damaging. “What most people don’t realize is that common behaviors such as drinking wine or coffee and eating salty or acidic foods can dry out the lips,” says Dr. Chapas. “But drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and applying a moisturizing lip balm can help counteract the effects of these activities and improve your lip health.” Chapstick Hydration Lock Moisturize and Renew is a dual-ended lip balm that delivers long-lasting moisture to the lips and works great to keep the skin on the lips moisturized and replenished in
the cooler months. * Protect your hands. Your hands are often left exposed during the cooler months, especially if the cold air has dried your skin, making gloves or mittens painful to wear. Dr. Chapas says products that contain shea butter and lanolin are great for counteracting the abuse your hands endure. * For your scalp. A thicker, moisturizing shampoo will reduce dryness on your scalp and prevent itchiness as temperatures drop. * Remember the time of day. Don’t use the same skincare products for day and night. Instead, use products with protective, moisturizing benefits to guard your skin during the day. At night, switch to heavier creams that offer more hydration. Your skin will absorb this extra moisture while you sleep. For example, ChapStick Hydration Lock Day & Night contains
two distinct formulas specific for day and nighttime use. * Don’t forget the sun. Just because you’ve traded in your sunburn for windburn doesn’t mean you don’t need SPF. “UV damage can happen year-round,” says Dr. Chapas. “In fact, we are closer to the sun in the wintertime, and the sun can reflect off the snow, further amplifying its rays and causing sun damage. This makes it so important to incorporate sun protection into your skincare routine, regardless of the season.” Areas like the lips where skin is thinner will need even more attention and protection, since they are so sensitive. On those coldest days when you’re bundled in layers, remember your skin needs extra protection and these simple tips will help your skin stay healthy during the cold weather season.

Job Seekers: Resolve to Make a Better Impression in 2015 First impressions matter, particularly when you’re in the market for a new job. While a top notch resume and cover letter can help get your foot in the door, only you can seal the deal. The New Year is the perfect time to revamp your look for a smooth job search. Make a strong first impression at your next interview or networking event with these easy tips: • Be a good listener. What you say is just as important as being engaged when others are talking. Make good eye contact and ask questions to show you are interested in what is being said. • Anticipate the questions you will be asked so you are prepared with intelligent, confident and articulate responses. Define your strengths and weaknesses ahead of time to answer every hard question with ease. • Get a good night’s sleep the night before an important interview or convention. Not only will you look fresher and more alert in the morning, you’ll be thinking more clearly as well. • Know how to explain any gaps in your resume. If you have taken time off from your field to pursue a passion for travel, be ready to discuss this time off and explain how it has helped you professionally. • Prepare your 30-second elevator pitch to communicate your strengths and goals. You never know where a
conversation with a hiring manager may lead, so be sure to tailor it to each person you speak with so it does not sound over-rehearsed or unnatural. • The maxim often holds true that, “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know.” Be sure that your LinkedIn profile is up to date, showcasing all of your recent work. Connect with headhunters, friends, family, or even old classmates and coworkers to learn about opportunities you may not have heard about otherwise. • Dress to impress to be taken seriously. Denis Daly Wood, founder
of Dalys1895.com, a century-old men’s luxury designer and online retailer, recommends standing out with a unique accessory for your suit, such as a stylish tie clip, tie, pocket square, or pair of cufflinks that can break the ice and start a conversation. “A unique pocket square can finish off the look of a suit or blazer, while also helping convey that you are stylish and put together. What you wear communicates a lot about your personality and who you are,” says Wood. Seek quality accessories, such as tItalian silk pocket squares, which

Shopping Guide for Red-Hot Valentine’s Day Dresses By Stephanie Haddad Tired of wearing the same old black dress every time you’ve got a hot date? This Valentine’s Day, you could be sizzling in a hot red dress instead. With the “little red dress” taking Hollywood (and everywhere else) by storm, there’s no time like a holiday dedicated to love to pick one up for yourself. How to Choose Your Little Red Dress Buying a dress, no matter what the color, does not have to be a difficult process. Know your body type, what flatters your shape, and have an idea what you’re looking for before you shop. Here’s some basic guidelines for common body types: Heavy body types should shop for a dress that creates symmetry in the body (either minimizing the top half or bottom half for balance). For a minimizing top, look for a scoop or v-neck design and some simple flare or draping on the bottom. Pear-shaped body types will benefit from a dress with some detail work on the top half and an a-line silhouette. Ellen Tracy makes a great dress in cherry red that is figure flattering. Hourglass shapes should be the easiest to dress and can wear nearly
any style. But if you choose to even out the curves, shop for a dress that doesn’t accentuate the waistline, like a sheath dress. Rectangular body shapes need a dress that adds some curvature, like a belted or cinched-waist dress. Wrap dresses, halters, and sheaths are also good at feminizing a boyish figure. Have some fun with a chic red wrap dress by TravelSmith or a printed floral in red by Diane von Furstenberg. Red-Hot Shopping Options There are a lot of options out there for anyone in the dress shopping market. Red dresses, as well, abound. Nearly every major brand name has a red dress, some in multiple designs, patterns, materials, and styles. To find the best choice for you, have your specifics in mind and start searching! Some of the hottest trends in dresses right now include unique necklines, lace and sheers, mixed fabrics, one-shoulder, wraps, and (still) maxi dresses. Have some fun with something sexy and smoldering or chic and elegant, the choice is yours. As long as it’s red, you’ll be catching eyes wherever you go!
Colorful accents create extraordinary spaces When looking to transform your home, elements such as doors, ceilings and trim are perfect places to add color. These architectural details can create a wow factor with well-placed splashes of color. “An unexpected pop of color adds interest to a space, helping an otherwise ordinary room become warm and welcoming, or modern and luxurious,” says David Bromstad, HGTV star and celebrity interior designer. “Doors, ceilings and trim are my favorite places to introduce bold accents. And if you start with a coordinated palette, it’s easy to find an accent color you love.” Bromstad recommends a collection of interior and exterior color palettes that simplifies the process of choosing hues for home accents or accessories, so you get it right every time. Bromstad offers the following tips for using color to accent your space. * Welcome guests with statement doors. Refreshing your home, inside or out, can be as easy as a brightly colored door that welcomes visitors. Boost curb appeal by inviting guests into your home with a bold orange or red front door. Inside the home, captivate guests with indulgent, exotic hues on doors. * Rethink the white ceiling. To make a space feel expansive, or for an Page 8
unexpected touch of luxury, consider a colorful ceiling. A sky-blue porch ceiling draws from nature and helps your outside space to shine. Inside, for an elegant dining room, opt for rich hues such as black or deep gray. * Frame your space in neutrals.
The Newport News
White trim offers depth and sophistication to your home. To give your interior a twist of modern luxury, opt for white trim with a hint of gray or taupe. Outside, consider white trim with a touch of blue or green. “You don’t need to paint an entire
room or exterior to transform the aesthetic of your home. Refreshing a space, inside or out, can be easily accomplished if you start with unique accents and architectural elements,” says Bromstad.

Ocean Institute’s Jazz Festival Serves Up Success! Bryan and Jeanne Stirrat Thanks to a big help from folks who are jazz-friend fans, the Ocean Institute’s 2015 Jazz Festival was one of the most successful Ocean Institute events in recent years. The Festival, held January 23-25, 2015, featured popular jazz greats Rick Braun and Friends, Elliott Yamin and Norman Brown, as well as Latin-salsa jazz musicians DW3, who performed for an enthusiastic audience on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoon. The Saturday night Gala, with gourmet culinary dishes prepared by top chefs in the area, was a unconditional success. The weekend event brought in over 600 attendees with a $170,000 net profit. All proceeds from the Jazz Festival benefit the Ocean Institute, Dana Point to help fund their hands-on educational programs and workshops for children age K-12. The Friday night program included a wine reception and hors d’oeuvres by a selection of Dana Point area restaurants. Those participating were Luciana’s Ristorante, Gemmell’s, Vintage Steak House, Brio Tuscany Grill, The Point, Jack’s, The Wine Bistro, Lou De Stefano Catering – Inka Peruvian Carol and Tim McMahon Grill, and El Torito. Dessert was provided by Savannah Chop House with coffee service provided by The Coffee Importers. Saturday’s concert and gala included an unforgettable three-plus course gourmet culinary experience by executive chefs from the top hotels in the area. The six chefs came together to create an experience for guests that surpassed everyone’s expectations; as each course was served, you could hear the “oohhs” and “ahhh’s” that delighted everyone in the room. A live auction added to the excitement. Up for grabs were some unique and priceless items including an Executive Chefs’ Dinner for 10 in your home hosted by the six chefs of the Ocean Institute Jazz event. This gourmet 5 course meal with wine pairings from Executive Chefs Frederic Castan, Rob Wilson, Pedro Contreras, and Thomas Trevethan went for $6,250 and then there was the Presidential Suite Staycation Package at the St. Regis – this two night stay in the Presidential Suite with butler service, poolside cabana for two days for four guests and a Champagne Sunday Brunch for four went for $4,750. Other items that were up for bidding were two tickets to Rick Braun’s CEO of the Ocean Institute Dan New Year’s Eve Gala on 12/31/15 in Tucson, Arizona; a New Orleans Jazz Kajsa James with Jeff Hall and Dining experience including three nights at the Hyatt French Quarter, Stetson and his wife Roxanne brunch, VIP dinner and round trip airfare; South Africa luxury photo safari for 2; a Napa Wine Country VIP Insiders Tour with 3 nights stay at the Caldwell Vineyard’s two-bedroom guest house. What was really exciting was watching the LIVE Jazz painting being created by Eric Waugh. Waugh, painted LIVE at the Jazz Festival Gala a 36’’ x 48’’ painting that was signed by the jazz artists performing making it a priceless keepsake for one lucky winner! The impressive “Wall of Wine” featuring 30 bottles all over 90 points was the special Opportunity Drawing was another exciting item a lucky winner took home. Using the ocean as the classroom, the Ocean Institute inspires children to learn. The Ocean Institute has become nationally known for its hands-on marine science, environmental education and maritime history programs.

Lovestruck: How to give a Valentine’s Day gift perfect for her unique personality Whether it’s a couple’s first date, a pair of love birds in their honeymoon phase or a husband and wife team enjoying 50 years of married bliss, Valentine’s Day serves as a reminder of the affection shared with a special someone. For the Valentine who is truly one of a kind, find a gift that perfectly suits her unique personality. She’ll love the presents and appreciate the thought that went into finding that perfect gift, just for her. Follow these guidelines to select something so flawless, even cupid will be impressed. For the DIY designer - A unique, personalized gift is the perfect choice for the creative one who loves giving everything her special touch. Personalized home decor is a great way to show extra thought and effort. For example, an accent pillow that features a couple’s star signs is sentimental yet stylish, or a personalized canvas wall art with both couples’ names printed in script is a beautiful addition to any interior space. For the classic lady - If she embodies unparalleled style and grace, select a gift that is as classic as she is. For this personality, traditional,
tried and true Valentine’s Day gifts like gorgeous fresh flowers are the best choice. Red roses are a classic choice that represent love and affection, but if she likes the classic with a twist, consider a bouquet of multi-color roses. Orchids, an exotic flower that has long been believed to be a natural aphrodisiac, are another popular option for a classic but on-trend floral gift. A dependable floral gifting site like ProFlowers will have numerous seasonal designs to choose from. For the trendsetter - Something sparkly always catches a trendsetter’s eyes. Gifts of jewelry are extremely popular and serve as a reminder of love every time she wears it. When shopping, keep in mind her favorite colors and design preferences. Natural stones and rich metals are on trend for 2014, so go for pearls, gold and stones like garnet and blue topaz. For the foodie - Is she always cooking up a surprise in the kitchen and watching the latest food-focused TV show? If that’s her, surprise the foodie with a Champagne toast this Valentine’s Day. Make it extra special by toasting with new Champagne flutes from RedEnvelope that feature
Improve the Quality of Your Life!!! Specializing in the Treatment of Difficult Disease and PAIN!!
the word “love” in a variety of different languages - because after all, love transcends all things. For the hopeless romantic - A little pampering can go a long way on Valentine’s Day. Give her something dainty and soft, like a delicate set of cami and shorts, perfect for a romantic evening or simply lounging on the weekends. Present her with a spa basket full of luxurious goodies
like bath salts and lotions, and watch as the stress melts away and she falls in love all over again. When words aren’t enough, the right gift can show how special she is. From roses and orchids to love baubles and Champagne toasts, a few great gifts and personalized touches to the day will leave her smitten.

Valentine’s Day Ideas for Guys Valentine’s Day. It’s a day when guys pull out all the stops in love and women enjoy the ride! Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity for guys showcase their most creative and romantic appreciation for their mates. Anyone can simply go out for a nice dinner and nightcap, but guys will win extra ‘awww’ points with women if they take it a step beyond the norm and get creative with their Valentine’s Day plans. Women like to feel special and unique as opposed to a cliche or societal norm. As I have learned from countless causual conversations with women, they really do appreciate when a man goes above and beyond to impress them on days like this. Check out these 5 great ideas that are sure to sweep to anyone woman off her feet on this romantic day!
1. Candlelight Dinner - How easy is it for you to just pick a woman up and whisk her away to a nice romantic restaurant for dinner where you don’t have to lift a finger?! Instead, show your lady that you put some real thought, effort, and energy into the occasion. Surprise her by cooking one of her favorite meals and enjoying it by candlelight. This is not only a great way to show off your cooking skills but also to showcase how great of a catch you really are when you combine great conversation into the mix. To really make it romantic, dress up as if you were taking her out, splash on that cologne she loves so much, and have a small surprise gift waiting for her at the end of dinner. 2. Romantic Scavenger Hunt Want to take Valentine’s Day to the next level? Try leading your lady on a romantic scavenger hunt throughout the day that ends with a jaw dropping surprise. You can start the scavenger hunt by sending her surprise flowers to work (yes her job so everyone, not just her, can see where you’re going with this idea). Include a mysterious
you want to sweeten the deal buy her a nice comfortable pair of pajamas to lounge around in with you. Wear your most comfortable pj’s as well. Sometimes there’s nothing better than lounging around in comfy pj’s with your woman watching TV and enjoying each other’s company. Simple and sweet. There you have it, 5 great Valentine’s Day ideas to show your lady how much you care. These ideas will require a little thought, good planning, and a little extra effort. In the end when you look into her eyes, she flashes that million watt smile, and she tells you how much she loved everything, and plants a big wet one on you, you will know how much you made her day. Lastly and most importantly no matter what you do treatment. Follow this up with a nice for your lady on Valentine’s Day, be romantic dinner and it will be you who sure to look her in her eyes and tell ends up getting a surprise at the end. her how much you love, appreciate, and adore her with the utmost sincer-
note that begins the scavenger hunt with a few vague instructions for her to follow so it leads to the next part of the scavenger hunt. Make sure your notes and instructions are very short with concrete details, times, and/or locations, etc. Ex. 1219 Rose Street Downtown 4pm ask for John. As you ‘anonymously’ reveal more details throughout the day, her heart will be racing with anticipation and she will be kept on her toes waiting to see what you’re going to do next. To you psych majors, when you keep a woman guessing in a positive light about you the more her interest level in you will go up. Waaay up. 3. Massage/Spa Date - It’s no secret that women love to be pampered. Hair, nails, skin, you name it they do it. Why not surprise your lady with a romantic day at the best spa in town. Let her get everything she’s ever wanted at a spa all in the same day. She will definitely appreciate this gesture from you. Her stresses, worries, and negative energy will all melt away in these moments which will help her to relax. To make it really enjoyable, join her in the spa
4. Inside Picnic - Don’t have a lot of money to spend or don’t know your way around the kitchen? Having an indoor picnic is a great idea that guys can do for their ladies on Valentine’s Day. Make sure it’s done right: a picnic blanket and a basket of food, drinks, and some of her favorite sweet goodies should do the trick. To really kick it up a notch, light some scented candles, sprinkle the surrounding area with rose petals, and have some soft music playing in the background to make the mood even more romantic.
ity. When she hears this, it’s almost certain she’ll be head over heels or remember why she fell in love with you to begin with. Remember guys, women fall in love between their ears not their eyes.
5. Movie Night - Not too creative? Light in the wallet? There’s still hope for you. Invite your lady over, order in, and snuggle up for the night and watch some of her favorite movies. Yes that means the chick flicks. If The Newport News

Expert Answers to Common DMV Questions. By the California Department of Motor Vehicles
Do you have questions about general driving related requirements like registration, licensing and driver safety? Are you unclear about laws and restrictions related to driving? The California Department of Motor Vehicles has answers. “Save Time, Go Online,” at www.dmv.ca.gov. You can submit any DMV-related questions at AskDMV@dmv.ca.gov 1. Q. Can I just show up at a DMV field office and take a drive test, or do I need to have an appointment? A. No, DMV field offices require an appointment for a drive test. You can make a drive test appointment online atwww.dmv.ca.gov or by calling 1–800–777–0133. When you arrive for your drive test you will need your permit, vehicle registration, and auto insurance. More information can be found about drive test requirements by checking the California Driver Handbook or online. 2. Q. I read that Governor Brown signed a law that will allow undocumented people to obtain a driver’s license. Can you tell me when the law will take effect? A. You are correct, in October of last year Governor Brown signed AB 60, which requires DMV to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented drivers and becomes operative by January 1, 2015. In the meantime, DMV will adopt regulations that will detail how applicants can prove identity and California residency. DMV will also put into effect a plan to serve the approximate 1.4 million people who are estimated to apply for a license under the new law. DMV encourages future all applicants for a driver’s license, to prepare for Page 16
the written exam by studying the California Driver Handbook available on the DMV webpage atwww.dmv. ca.gov. The website also features sample tests that could be useful for the applicants. The California Driver Handbook is available in 10 languages at all DMV field offices: English, Armenian, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. 3. Q. I am going to start riding my bike to work and I know there are rules that apply to bicyclists. Where can I get information about bicycle rules and road safety? A. Bicycles on public roads have the same rights and responsibilities as motorists and are subject to the same rules and regulations. Information about bicycle rules and important safety tips are available by visiting the Department of Motor Vehicles website athttp://www.dmv. ca.gov/pubs/brochures/fast_facts/ ffdl37.htm. Since we’re on the topic of bicyclists, Governor Jerry Brown signed AB 1371, known as the Three Feet for Safety Act, which will require a motor vehicle driver passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction to pass with no less than 3 feet between any part of the vehicle and any part of the bicycle or driver. When three feet is not possible, the motor vehicle must slow to a reasonable and prudent speed and only pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist. Failing to do so can incur a fine, regardless of a collision or not. This law will take effect September 16, 2015. 4. Q. I just received my driver license renewal notice in the mail.
The Newport News
Does it make any real difference if I mail my payment or renew online via the Internet? A. Congratulations on being eligible to renew by mail, internet or telephone! In order to renew by mail, you must complete the renewal notice and send a check or money order only payable to DMV in the amount due $33. Print your driver license number on the back of your check/money order. Renew early in order to receive your new license before your current driver license expires. Renewing by mail or online is also convenient, and therefore, it’s not necessary to visit a DMV office if you’re eligible to renew by mail, internet or by telephone. No additional fee is charged for renewing your driver license or identification card online. If you renew via Internet, you may receive your license up to 3 to 4 days sooner than regular mail processing. In addition, paying online diminishes the customer’s carbon footprint by going green, saving the cost of postage (as postage is going up to 49¢ for a First Class stamp, starting January 26th). Save Time, Go Online! Visit www.dmv.ca.gov or call 1-800-777-0133 for customer service. 5. Q. My father gave me his old car as a birthday present. Since it was a gift, do I still need to get a smog inspection? A. It depends. If you acquire a vehicle that is currently registered in California from a spouse, domestic partner, sibling, child, parent, grandparent or grandchild, you are entitled to an exemption from the smog inspection due when
transferring a vehicle, unless the vehicle is due for a biennial smog inspection because renewal fees are also due. Other family members or relations are not exempt and are required to obtain a smog inspection certification. For more information on the requirements of transferring a vehicle between family members, please visit www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/ brochures/howto/htvr1.htm. 6. Q. I just bought a boat. How do I know if it needs to be registered? A. In California, every sail powered vessel (boat) over eight feet in length and every motor driven vessel (regardless of length) that is not documented by the US Coast Guard and is used or on the waters of California are subject to be registered by the DMV. The vessel must be located in California. For detailed information on registering a vessel, please visit the following page on the California Department of Motor Vehicles web site: www.dmv.ca.gov/ boatsinfo/boatreg.htm. Save Time, Go Online!Doing business with the DMV has never been easier. The DMV offers an array of services to customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through itsWebsite including online advance appointments for written and drive tests; vehicle registration and driver license renewals, selection of personalized license plates, changes of address and payment of fees via secure debit transactions.

Newport News Legal Notices NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-14-637958-CL Order No.: 140189887-CA-VOI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 6/21/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): WAYNE E. GREENERT AND CAROLE B. GREENERT, HUSBAND AND WIFE, AS JOINT TENANTS Recorded: 11/13/2008 as Instrument No. 2008000531706 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of ORANGE County, California; Date of Sale: 2/27/2015 at 12:00:00 PM Place of Sale: At the North front entrance to the County Courthouse, 700 Civic Center Drive West, Santa Ana, CA 92701 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $74,992.71 The purported property address is: 407 VISTA SUERTE, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92660-3518 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 440-211-19 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 714-730-2727 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-14-637958-CL . 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.

With amazing scenery, trails, El Prado, three clubhouses and a full calendar of events, it’s no wonder Sendero is selling so quickly and was named 2014 Best Master-Planned Community not only in Orange County—but in the entire U.S. Now, Sendero Farm is nearly here. It’s a sustainable farm, including a produce stand, your own place to plant and farm-fresh eggs from Sendero hens. There’s even a friendly community farmer overseeing it all, from carrots and kale to arugula and herbs. Farm-to-fork dinner parties and seasonal events will take place amid the fruit orchard, community toolshed, children’s garden and fields of flowers. And since Sendero is nearing sellout, now is the perfect time to put down roots. S E N D E R O N E I G H B O R H O O D S (from the $300s) LYON CABANAS From 1,006 to 1,557 sq. ft.
