Spring 2015 Wedding Dress Trends By Lauren Frankfort The Spring 2015 Bridal Runways are just wrapping up, and every season we get to witness what’s on the cutting-edge of wedding dress design. From new necklines to interesting embellishments and fashionable fabrications, each season presents a slew of exciting new trends. This spring was no different, with a handful of unexpected necklines, skirt options, colors, and accessories at play. More than most runway seasons, this round of presentations left our hearts flurrying with excitement for what’s to come in the bridal world. Off-theshoulder necklines, bold colors, tulle overskirts, capes, and collars infused many of the designers’ collections with a breath of fresh air. Off-the-shoulder necklines were a natural progression for many bridal designers like , Oscar de la Renta, and . In previous seasons oneshoulder, illusion, and cap-sleeves took control of the runways. This time, the romantic draped shoulder shined. It’s a great option for brides who want a sleeve, but don’t want to look too covered. Can you say modern-day Belle?

Next, new colors emerged in many of our favorite dressmakers presentations (hello, Monique Lhuillier). Blues, grays, and even mint green creations stole the spotlight from the blush, ivory, and of course, white gowns we’re accustomed to seeing. The most creative dresses boasted convertible skirts, particularly in tulle. Adding a playful and ethereal vibe, designers like Hayley Paige and Theia crafted new silhouettes that offer a versatile, whimsical, and modern options for their big day. Brides that want to ensure a dramatic walk down the aisle will love a cape. Whether it’s a sweet sheer illusion with appliqués like D.I.D.’s or a sweeping, full-length overcoat like Angel Sanchez’s, a cape allows you to cover up for the ceremony and helps create two looks from one. Last but not least, collars were an addition to the already-popular high illusion necklines. Just gently gracing the neck these lace tops, from Marchesa and Mira Zwillinger to Naeem Khan, give your gown a regal finish.

Prepping tips for spring outdoor projects Soon, winter will be winding down and homeowners will start planning and prepping for - a variety of outdoor projects for spring. From cleaning, repairing or replacing decks, to creating raised beds for veggies and flowers, now is the time to start gearing up for those spring projects. Cleaning up Start with spring cleaning existing structures. Take a weekend to clean decks, gazebos and pergolas of dirt, debris, mold and mildew. For structures made of naturally durable Western Red Cedar, a broom, garden sprayer and hose, plus a little bleach are all you need. Sweep winter debris such as twigs and leaves from decks, taking care to clean between planks on horizontal
surfaces. This facilitates airflow and drainage, and can help prevent a buildup of moisture when spring showers arrive. Next, use a garden sprayer to apply a-mild oxygen bleach solution to kill mold and mildew. Be sure to leave the bleach solution on the wood surface for approximately 30 minutes, and then rinse with water. Never use a pressure washer as it can damage the wood. Maintenance and repair Carefully inspect outdoor structures for wear and tear. While Western Red Cedar contains natural preservatives that make the wood durable, all outdoor structures require annual care, including those made of pressure-treated lumber or composites. Check planks, beams and boards for cracking, warping or rough spots and repair accordingly. Replace damaged wood, and be sure to examine hardware to ensure it’s working properly and free of rust. New projects If you’ve always dreamed about lounging on a lovely deck on a summer afternoon, or savoring a spring morning beneath the shade of a decorative pergola, now’s the time
to start planning the project. A great deck is the showpiece of an inspired backyard, and spring is a prime time to add one. To ensure your deck affords you the most value and enjoyment, consider using an online deck planner to help you envision your deck before you begin building. As gardening grows in popularity, you might consider adding raised planting beds to your landscaping. Raised beds not only make caring for and harvesting your garden easier no bending required - they can also function as a decorative enhancement to your outdoor environment. The material you choose will influence the longevity, beauty and enjoyment of your structure, so carefully consider your options before deciding. “Many homeowners choose Western Red Cedar for its beauty and natural durability,” says Paul Mackie, western area manager, Western Red Cedar Lumber Association, or “Mr. Cedar” as he is known in the industry. “It has a deep, rich luster that other woods and man-made materials just can’t match. Plus, it’s a greener choice because it’s renewable and recyclable - unlike composites - and
doesn’t require chemical treatment as non-durable wood species do. It’s naturally rot and insect resistant, and you can stain it or leave it natural, depending on your preference.” The green qualities and durability of Western Red Cedar make it a great choice for virtually any outdoor structure - including those popular wooden playsets that begin appearing like wildflowers in backyards across the country every spring. Whatever project you’re dreaming of this spring - from building a new deck, pergola, or planting beds to refurbishing an existing outdoor structure or palyset - careful planning, cleaning, maintenance and the right materials can ensure your project adds value and beauty to your home environment.
Tips for making the most of your wedding registry As you busily prepare for your walk down the aisle and make countless decisions regarding every flawless detail, one task on your to-do list will help you see beyond your wedding day and into your future life together the wedding registry. And though few things could be more enjoyable than a day of shopping with your beloved, there’s also a bit of strategy that goes into building a complete registry. Registry recommendations When making registry selections, be sure you’ve listed a variety of items at different price points - high and low. This way, guests can purchase gifts they can afford but they also have room to exercise some creativity. According to theknot.com, you should aim to have at least twice as many items on your wish lists as attendees at your wedding. Having two to three registries is common and completely manageable. Consider including a department store, a national chain and an online retailer. Registering for items that are available at nationwide locations and online is convenient for outof-towners. Be sure to check store return and exchange policies in case you receive duplicate items. Some retailers offer completion programs, providing coupons or discounts to purchase remaining items on registries after the wedding. Wherever you decide to build your Page 4
wish list, make the most of it by segmenting your needs into separate, distinct categories. Kickstart your kitchen Cooking together is a simple way to bond with your spouse and have some fun in the process. Now is the perfect time to think about upgrading your kitchen essentials, including dinnerware, silverware, glassware, cookware, bakeware, cutlery, gadgets, storage containers and barware. Love hosting holidays and events? Opt for at least eight place settings and mix and match with complementary serving platters, bowls and serving utensils. Choose versatile pieces that can go from cooking to serving, saving space and adding convenience. If you’re looking for a kitchen appliance that can do the job of several, consider a high-powered blender. The Vitamix Professional Series 750 offers five pre-programmed settings, including a self-cleaning option. It has the ability to chop, cream, blend, heat, grind, churn and more - without any attachments. Other appliances that shouldn’t be forgotten include a slow cooker, coffee maker, toaster or toaster oven and microwave. Hone in on home basics Since you won’t spend all of your time in the kitchen, the rest of the home should be included in your registry. An assortment of matching
The Newport News
linens, such as towels, rugs and shower curtains for bathrooms, plus bedding sets with extra blankets and pillows add comfort and style to your master suite and any guest rooms. Decorative pillows, ottomans and throw rugs are nice transitional pieces to tie a room together, especially if you are blending items from each of your previous, unique spaces. Don’t be afraid to register for a few larger items, such as chairs, tables or storage pieces. Lamps, wall art, picture frames, candleholders and vases will help round out your home decor. Think outside the home If you’ve already found the perfect starter home and have an outdoor area, why not register for items that will extend your living space? An
outdoor grill is a perfect choice for the couple who loves to cook, and fire pits are ideal for summer get-togethers and relaxing weekends. If you enjoy al fresco dining, add a patio furniture set to your wish list. Consider other accessories such as hammocks, umbrellas and outdoor games. Creating gift registries is a fun way to bond with your better half and make your house into a home. Use them as a tool to plan how you’ll be spending your future together. Cater your registries to your own unique interests and don’t worry if your wish list isn’t 100 percent conventional, as long as it fits your needs. With some careful planning, creativity, teamwork and a bit of fun, your wedding gifts will be used for many years after saying “I do.”

Shedding for the wedding Summer is often synonymous with wedding season. For most of us, wedding season means looking forward to drinking, dancing and cake. But for the bride (and groom), it means tightening, toning and trimming to get in shape before the big day. Michelle McCormick, personal trainer at Life Time - The Healthy Way of Life Company knows the pressure brides and grooms often feel. She understands that all eyes are on the couple from the moment they walk down the aisle until the last dance of the night. “When I work with brides and/or grooms-to-be, I tell them it’s usually best to start thinking about their health and fitness goals about three months before the wedding day to allow plenty of time to set goals, establish a regular routine and adjust to a healthier diet,” says McCormick. “Crash diets or extreme exercise programs are not something I ever recommend given the risks for injury or illness before the big day.” McCormick, who believes that shedding for the wedding is a great opportunity for the bride and groom to support each other, suggests a fourweek plan broken up in increments. Weeks one to four: Nutrition and exercise education Focus on creating new and healthy habits. Nutrition is key when trying to lose weight, decrease body fat, or increase your overall health. Begin with a fitness program that incorporates weight training and cardio intervals. Start with two or three days of weight training, two or three days of cardio and one day of Pilates or Yoga. McCormick recommends couples lay out a nutrition plan that consists of carbohydrates, protein and healthy fats with each meal between 300 and 600 calories. Carbs should mostly consist of
fruits, vegetables and complex carbs such as lima beans, squash, sweet potatoes and black eyed peas. Try to avoid simple carbs made with refined sugars such as candy, fruit juice, sodas and packaged foods. Proteins should be lean and free of hormones and antibiotics whenever possible. Try chicken, almonds, turkey, fish, flank steak or even tofu. A good protein powder can also be used in the morning, throughout your day or after a workout to add protein to your diet. Make sure to get monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats, known as “good fats” into your diet. These fats help increase your good cholesterol while lowering your bad cholesterol and boosting your immune system. Incorporate olive oil, sunflower oil, coconut milk, avocados, soybean oil or flaxseed oil to your recipes for a healthier meal. Weeks five to eight: Creating momentum for your wedding day In this phase, McCormick suggests focusing on switching up exercise and cardiovascular routines. Working with a certified personal trainer might be a good step - or for those on a tight budget, group fitness classes are a great way to shake up a workout routine. Try personal training or group fitness one or two days every other week and continue with a healthy nutrition schedule. “Remember, 80 percent of your success will be from your healthy food choices,” says McCormick. Exercise should include one to two weight-training exercises per body part once or twice a week. Try to continually switch up the amount of weight and the number of repetitions to help stimulate change within your body. Continue this routine two to three days per week and add in another day of Pilates or Yoga. Focus on having three to five meals
throughout the day. Weeks nine to 12: Sleep, relax, and enjoy In the final weeks before the wedding, it is important to continue the fitness and nutrition routines you have developed over the last few months. However, a new focus on rest and relaxation is key as the big day approaches and life can start to feel a bit stressful. Try taking a Yoga class in the evenings to help you sleep better at night and use a sauna for 10 minutes at least three days a week. Remember, you can eat well and exercise perfectly but without sleep, stretching and resting, your adrenals have a higher chance of not functioning efficiently. Exercise should consist of cardio coaching three to four days per week, weight training two to three days per week and Yoga or Pilates one to two days per week. At the end of four weeks, brides and grooms will feel great and be ready to face the world as a married couple. “I get such joy seeing the progress brides and grooms-to-be make as they prepare for their big day and to live a healthy way of life forever,” says McCormick.

Wow guests with original wedding reception touches Most brides have a vision of a beautifully decorated and themed wedding reception. Luckily, it is easy to achieve the wedding decor you see in your mind’s eye with a few easy and inexpensive do-it-yourself projects. Tables they’ll talk about You don’t have to settle for the same old table settings and centerpieces when it comes to putting your mark on your reception. Find knick-knacks or trinkets that mean something special to you and then use spray paint to turn them into a coordinated collection perfect for sparking dinner conversation. For example, paint mismatched candlesticks and Christmas bulbs
with Krylon Shimmer Metallic and ColorMaster spray paint in your wedding colors to create a glistening and glamorous centerpiece. Similarly, turn lovebird figures and plain tins into one-of-a kind favors that are sure to please. Novel napkin rings Napkins are a necessary dinner table accessory, so what do you do to make them stylish and add another personalized touch? Custommade napkin rings are just the right detail. Wood or metal rings are often available at your local craft store. Then make them your own by gluing on personalized tokens, such as small decorations ornaments or initials, and spray painting to coordinate with your other table decorations for a completely classy look. Table numbers Numbering the tables at your reception is an easy way to direct guests to their seats. It’s simple to add an elegant touch by creating your own table numbers using inexpensive photo frames. Whether you purchase frames from a store, garage sale or by collecting them from around your own home, you can create a cohesive and classy collection in no time. Once you have your frames, purchase house numbers (like those used to show an address) that will fit within the glass area of your picture frames. Remove the glass and wipe all surfaces with alcohol to achieve a clean surface. Spray paint the
frame and numbers the color of your choice. Metallic paints create a classy look that complements your main wedding colors. While those items dry, spray the glass with Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like spray paint. Once all the pieces are dry, reassemble the frames and use an adhesive to bond the number to the front of the glass. When setting up for your reception, nest these numbers among your other table decorations for an exquisite presentation. Card catcher

Inject fun personality into a wedding ceremony When planning a wedding, you’ll receive plenty of advice via todo lists in bridal magazines, from friends and coworkers who’ve already been through the wedding process and even from professionals in the industry who have helped many couples achieve their “I dos.” The advice might feel a bit overwhelming, but most brides and grooms figure out how to sift through the stories of wedding successes and disasters to personalize all the final touches on their special day. By showcasing their personalities through different aspects of the wedding, guests will remember the special day for years to come. Here are some ways to inject your personality into a wedding ceremony and reception: * Tell or show your story. Every couple has the “how we met” and “how we got engaged” stories, and often they can be incorporated quite easily into the ceremony or the reception. For example, if you met at a sporting event, consider using sports paraphernalia as table centerpieces. Or if he proposed in a beautiful field of wildflowers, incorporate wildflowers into the decorations for the ceremony or the
bouquets held by the bridesmaids. A couple of ways to tell personal stories are with a small write-up in the wedding program or a picture slideshow during the reception. * Incorporate personal details. Every bride has a style. Some brides create an elegant wedding, while others prefer the edgy urban style. Some brides want an outdoorsy look to their weddings, and some think the vintage look matches their personalities perfectly. No matter your style, look for ways to incorporate that style in the details of the wedding. For example, start off with your wedding invitations. Invitations by Dawn has laser-cut wedding invitations to match your personality. Elegant lace, romantic flowers, creative fonts and delicate cutout shapes allow brides to hint at the wedding theme and show off their personality from the very beginning. All wedding invitations can be personalized online with fonts and colors, allowing a couple to match the wedding style perfectly. In a rush? Invitations by Dawn can process and deliver wedding invitations in a week. * Write your own vows. Personalized vows allow a couple to share with each other, and their guests, how much they love each other, and how

they plan to spend the rest of their lives together. The Internet has many examples to help a couple get started, and your guests will be impressed by the creativity and individuality that goes into the vows as you pledge your love to each other. * Play some favorite tunes. If you’re planning a religious ceremony, ask the minister performing the wedding if there are any restrictions on music played. Churches typically will ask that music performed or played during the wedding ceremony be religious or classical, but the music played during the exit march can often be secular. For example, if the couple loves Star
Wars, they could exit the church while the Imperial March is played. If the church is not open to secular music at all, another option is to play a favorite secular tune during the grand march into the reception venue. With these simple touches, you’ll be able to inject plenty of individuality into your wedding ceremony and reception, allowing the guests who are celebrating with you to connect with your joy and excitement of matrimony. The personal elements will have everyone talking about your wedding for many anniversaries to come.

“Cheers for Literacy” Raises Funds to Help Kids Read! The Literacy Project’s (TLP) “Cheers to Literacy” bar battle was held to help raise funds to spread the gift of literacy to struggling readers in elementary school classrooms across Southern California. The fun-filled evening was held at one of Orange County’s most scenic restaurants, 3-Thirty-3 Waterfront, located right on the water in Newport Beach. What a battle it was as guests mingled enjoying delicious appetizers and sipping on fun and fruity cocktails mixed up by our two teams of contenders! The place was packed for an exciting night full of friendly faces and generous hearts. Many devoted community leaders, philanthropists and passionate advocates of education all showed their support through generous tip donations and constant cheer for the bartenders during the battle. The first team to compete featured Crystal Cannon and Ashley Zarlin. Crystal Cannon is a full time Model Manager for Rockstar Energy for the US, Canada and Australia. Cannon’s partner, Ashley Zarlin, is the head designer and Chief Executive Officer of her upcoming brand, Cheeky Minx. Cannon and Zarlin kicked off the battle with undeniable charisma as they energized the crowd. The second team following Cannon and Zarlin were Miles Kirchner and Brett Lawrence, who brought just as much energy and passion for sealing in the win with the most tip donations. Miles Kirchner is the marketing coordinator at Tavik and specializes in market managing, event coordinating and artist relations. Kirchner’s teammate, Brett Lawrence, is the Chief Executive Officer of the scenic estate of Rancho Las Lomas, a premiere resort that offers special events, weddings, wine tasting and brewery. Cannon and Zarlin inched ahead of competitors Lawrence and Kirchner at the finish line, but the joint effort by both teams was the true win for The Literacy Project. As the night wrapped up, guests and contestants were all smiles and joyful to have spent an enjoyable evening supporting The Literacy Project. “There is nothing better than engaging our own children in a worthy cause like The Literacy Project that helps those of great need with the least means. Hopefully learning about giving back at this pivotal age will develop a lifelong passion for philanthropy,” said Sue Grant. The Literacy Project’s (TLP) mission is to enable at-risk and disadvantaged youth to increase their reading skill levels and to become self-sufficient, productive and contributing members of our society. Founded in 2009, TLP’s vision is to bring the gift of literacy to children as a foundational learning element to help achieve their personal dreams. To accomplish its mission, The Literacy Project (TLP) accesses and enhances key phonic skills among struggling readers; promotes learning in a fun, social and interactive environment; uses proven methods to maximize the learning experience; and fosters self-sufficiency and economic success through academic achievement. To-date, The Literacy Project has helped more than 3,000 struggling readers throughout Orange and Los Angeles counties, as well as the Coachella Valley. By providing its signature reading program, at “no-cost” to students or the school, TLP has proven to be incredibly effective.

Top fashion tips for spring and summer Spring is just around the corner - time to start planning your warmweather wardrobe updates. To help you stay on top of the trends for spring 2015, the experts have plenty of advice to share. Lynne Riding, who is the fashion coordinator at The Art Institute of Charleston, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta, and Dr. Courtney A. Hammonds, who has the same role at The Art Institute of AtlantaDecatur, a branch of The Art Institute
of Atlanta, offer some pointers. Q: What are the top five trends for spring 2015? A: “Look for clean, simple lines,” says Riding. “You’ll also see pleats, sheers and lace, and prints - both floral and graphic.” Hammonds agrees that pleats, especially knife pleats, will be big this spring. “Graphic prints are a major trend, using written words embroidered or printed across ready-to-wear garments,” he adds. “We’ll also see accessories with
metallic touches in gold and bronze this year.” Q: What are this spring’s top colors? A: Both experts agree that lilac and other pastels are the most important color story for spring. Greens, especially mint green, are also big. “Muted and sophisticated tones predominate, although brights are also seen, particularly when paired with metallic touches,” Hammonds says.
Q: What one piece should everyone consider adding to her wardrobe to be on trend for spring? A: “A poplin dress shirt in white, lilac or mint green is a great spring/summer addition,” says Riding. “It could either be a long wrap shirt without buttons or a long shirt worn on the hips with a belt.” Hammonds recommends adding a modern accessory, such as a metallic bag or clutch, statement eye frames, or even a metallic shoe that can go from day to night. Some other ideas to give your wardrobe the fashion edge this spring? Consider a longer skirt (midcalf or upper ankle length), wearing a classic shirt untucked with the bottom several buttons undone, or an accessory with fringe. And be sure to hang on to fashions with color blocking. Riding says this trend is continuing to be popular. Whatever you do, Hammonds advises, dare to be edgy and always be true to yourself and your personal style. Riding adds, “A trend only works if it works for you. Does it fit your style, your lifestyle, what’s flattering? For instance, if lilac is not your color, don’t add a lilac dress to your wardrobe. Instead, choose a flower print that includes lilac or wear a print skirt with lilac tones along with a crisp white shirt.”

Hosting a bridal, baby or graduation party? Clever food shortcuts big on taste, low on stress It’s that time of year - bridal showers, baby showers and graduation parties are likely dotting your calendar. If you’re the lucky host of one of these milestone events, you might feel excitement paired with a bit of trepidation as you start the partyplanning process. The good news is, there are some simple ways to be the “hostess with the mostest” and limit stress at the same time. 1. Make a plan Sit down and brainstorm your ideas. Record them on paper or
electronically. Once you have a list of themes, decor, food and activities, you can start narrowing your options down to what really aligns with the guest of honor’s tastes and preferences. Remember, you want the party to reflect you since you’re the host, but make sure it speaks to the person whom the party is being hosted for. 2. Accept help Planning a party can be timeconsuming and costly. If the mother of the bride or best friend of the mother-to-be offers to help, don’t turn her away. The best way to ensure you get the help you need and no one oversteps boundaries is to assign specific tasks. For example, assign someone to make a dessert, plan an activity or stop at the store to pick up colored napkins and cutlery. 3. Determine a menu The warmer months beg for fresh party fare, so be sure to highlight healthy foods and everyday favorites in your menu. Salads, fresh veggies and fruit are light and versatile. Furthermore, you can highlight the best of your region’s seasonal produce by visiting your local co-op
or farmers market to select items that were locally grown and made. 4. Think dips With your menu focused on lighter, fresh fare, you need to add extras to complement those items, and nothing works better than a classic variety of dips. Luckily, you don’t have to rely on fatty sour cream-based dips anymore. Consider serving Simply Organic Greek Yogurt Dip Mixes, which are easy to make and taste great. Plus, by replacing sour cream with Greek yogurt there’s zero fat and more protein, meaning guests will feel healthful and satisfied. Other popular dip options include fruit dip and guacamole. Visit www.simplyorganic. com for more ideas. 5. Decide on drinks Make sure you provide a variety of drink options for guests, especially if you’re hosting your event outdoors. Always stock water, but be sure to add other beverages to your menu also. For example, lemonade and sweet tea is perfect for afternoon parties. A popular trend is to select a specialized drink to serve - for example, you might serve pink rose tea for the gal expecting a baby girl or
create a tropical concoction for your friend who will be honeymooning in Hawaii. For recent graduates, you can’t go wrong with fruit punch in the school’s color. No matter the type of party you are hosting, a few trendy touches and cleaver food shortcuts will wow guests and keep them raving long after it has ended. Above all else, have fun and enjoy these special moments with loved ones because the memories will last a lifetime.
Rest Easy, Wine Lovers - Perception Is Easily Fooled
HAPPY GRAPES
By David White One glass of Cabernet Sauvignon was described as “powerful and heavy.” Another was described as “subtle and refined.” The only difference? The music that was playing while people drank the wine. A few years ago, Adrian North, a psychology professor at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, tested the impact of music on taste perception by pouring wine for 250 students. Some tasted the wine while listening to music identified by others as “powerful and heavy,” while others listened to music that was “subtle and refined,” “zingy and refreshing,” or “mellow and soft.” Other students drank without any music. After enjoying their wine for five minutes, the students were asked to rate how much the wine tasted like the musical descriptions.
The conclusion, as put simply in the British Journal of Psychology? “Background music influences the taste of wine.” When North’s study came out, oenophiles were infuriated. Here was yet another academic calling wine appreciation into question. Rest easy, wine lovers. Perception is easily fooled. Widespread derision of wine criticism began in 2001 when Frédéric Brochet, a University of Bordeaux psychologist, poured one glass of red wine and one glass of white wine for 54 oenology students -- and then asked them to describe each wine in detail. Students described each wine with the laundry list of descriptors one would expect for reds and whites. What Brochet didn’t tell the students? Both wines were the same. The white in one glass was simply dyed red. Ever since, the media has jumped at any opportunity to call baloney on oenophilia. But psychologists have long known that humans are easily tricked, especially when relying on taste buds. Consider a 2012 study from Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab. By giving an extreme makeover to a Hardee’s, researchers discovered that people will eat less but enjoy their food more when at a fine-dining
establishment instead of a fast-food joint. A 2006 study led by John Bohannon, a biologist and science journalist at Harvard University, found that most people can’t distinguish pâté from dog food. Does this mean that Michelinstarred restaurants should replace pâté with Purina Puppy Chow and start serving Hardee’s Patty Meltdowns? Of course not. Expectations matter. Heck, confirmation bias dictates that expensive wines taste, well, expensive. And food, like wine, is unpredictable. But please hold the Puppy Chow; I’d rather eat pâté. And if I’m dropping serious coin on dinner, I hope it’s prepared by a Michelinstarred chef and not a Hardee’s line cook. I’m confident in my palate, but I’m also confident enough to admit that sometimes, I’m wrong. Plenty of people have dedicated their lives to wine producing it, serving it, studying it, selling it. Plenty more simply enjoy wine and have opinions on what they drink. Sure, some people are particularly gifted tasters. But wine appreciation is a subjective pursuit for everyone who imbibes. And just as it’s perfectly valid for a moviegoer to proclaim her preference for Batman over Birdman, it’s perfectly valid for a wine enthusiast to proclaim
his preference for a light bodied Syrah from St. Joseph in France over a weighty Shiraz from Coonawarra in Australia. Misleading a wine connoisseur by filling an empty bottle of First Growth Bordeaux with Two Buck Chuck might be fun, especially if he’s insufferable. But it only proves that humans are fallible and easily tricked, especially when an environment has been manipulated. That’s nothing to worry about. David White is the founder and editor of Terroirist.com, which was named “Best Overall Wine Blog” at the 2013 Wine Blog Awards. His columns are housed at Grape Collective.

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 PROCEEDINGS AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. On April 13, 2015 at 09:00 AM, Auction.com Room, Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Anaheim - Orange County, 100 The City Drive, Orange, CA 92868, MTC Financial Inc. dba Trustee Corps, as the duly Appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded on February 24, 1999 as Instrument No. 19990133633 of official records in the Office of the Recorder of Orange County, California, executed by WILLIAM A. LOCKHART AND GRACE M. LOCKHART, HUSBAND AND WIFE, as Trustor(s), in favor of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 204 VIA QUITO, NEWPORT BEACH, CA 92663 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $336,579.42 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the
payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. 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. 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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Web site address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA08005938-14. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
