More Secure Shopping Ahead Following several high-profile security breaches in recent years, consumers have more reason than ever to be concerned about their privacy when using debit and credit cards. Fortunately, an effort is underway to implement new technology across the United States that will better protect shoppers and their private information. The Europay, Mastercard and Visa (EMV) card is widely used overseas and can be found in the United States. You may have an EMV card in your wallet without knowing it. In fact, according to EMVCo, 45 percent of the total payment cards in circulation globally include EMV chip technology. New guidelines being rolled out in the United States will hold banks or retailers that have not implemented this new security liable for fraud, so by late 2015, consumers can expect to see these changes closer to home. What is EMV? The Smart Card Alliance describes EMV as a set of specifications for smart card payments and acceptance devices that provide strong transaction security features and capabilities not possible with traditional magnetic stripe cards. The EMV chip in the payment card is an embedded microprocessor that keeps your money and financial information from falling into the wrong hands.
What makes EMV more secure? EMV offers greater security than the traditional magnetic stripe debit or credit cards. An important distinction is that data is stored on a chip rather than the familiar magnetic stripe, making it nearly impossible to counterfeit an EMV card. “As opposed to magnetic strip technology commonly used in credit and debit cards throughout the country, the EMV chip is extremely difficult to crack by hackers,” said Philippe Benitez, vice president of business development for secure transactions for Gemalto, a digital security company that provides the EMV technology. “The card also contains a unique ‘stamp’ that prevents your personal and financial information from being used fraudulently in the event that your card is stolen or lost.” From a technology perspective, EMV boosts security through: The chip: A smart card chip is a small computer (or microprocessor) that has its own data storage, processing power and application software. A unique code: EMV cards generate a unique code that is validated by your bank for each transaction and cannot be re-used. A transaction using a fake card with stolen data couldn’t happen at an
EMV terminal because it wouldn’t be able to generate the proper code. Advanced cryptography: EMV s e c u r i t y i s b a s e d on str ong cryptography, which is used to generate the unique transaction code that allows the terminal to authenticate the card. How will EMV change my shopping experience? Instead of swiping your card, now you’ll “dip” your card into the payment terminal, holding it in place to allow the transfer of data. Shoppers should expect that this process will take slightly longer than the traditional quick swipe of a magnetic card. EMV technology also enables contactless payments, so shoppers may instead
“tap” their contactless EMV cards, which are just as secure and speed up the check-out experience. Card issuers (your bank or credit company) will determine whether you are required to enter a pin or sign to verify your purchase. Initially, cards will include both EMV and magnetic stripe technology, so you can be assured your card will work whether the retailer has adopted the new system or not. For more information about EMV and how it will affect your future card-based purchases, visit www. thatsemv.com or www.gemalto.com/ emv. Photo courtesy of Getty Images.

This Holiday, Give More During this hectic holiday shopping season, the best gifts for friends and family are not only wonderful to receive, but also give back to children who need help. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to save and improve children’s lives, providing medicine, clean water, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. This year, the organization is proud to announce the launch of its inaugural UNICEF Market, an online holiday marketplace which benefits the organization’s work for children, featuring gifts from around the globe, from hand-crafted jewelry, home accents and accessories, to books that will inspire readers. Give an inspired gift For a truly unique gift experience, shoppers can purchase UNICEF Inspired Gifts in their loved one’s name. From packages providing lifesaving nutrition to vaccines and mosquito nets, you can find more ways to help children at www. inspiredgifts.org. The organization also offers a variety of boxed holiday cards ($10 to $20) that can be purchased online and through Pier 1 Imports, IKEA, Barnes and Noble and select Hallmark Gold Crown stores. Pier 1 Imports and IKEA will donate 100% of the purchase price from the sale of each greeting card to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. To shop online, visit market.unicefusa.org. The perfect gift for the book lover, Caryl Stern’s memoir “I Believe in ZERO: Learning from the World’s Children,” takes readers on journeys through Africa, South America, and South and East Asia to experience the lives of women and children. The author has chosen to donate 100
percent of the royalties she would have received to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. Other ways to support For more than 20 years, Pier 1 Imports and UNICEF have held a greeting card contest with the winning design being reproduced as the organization’s official greeting card. The winning card is sold exclusively at stores nationwide and on pier1.com with 100 percent of the purchase price going to the organization. IKEA’s global “Soft Toys for Education” campaign has raised more than $90 million to help provide a quality education to 11 million children in 46 countries. From November 9 to January 3, for every soft toy or children’s book sold in IKEA stores, the IKEA Foundation will donate one euro (approximately $1.30) to support UNICEF and Save the Children’s global education programs. The Soft Toys for Education collection includes a wide range of woodland and fairy tale creatures with accompanying story books. The 2014 collection includes newcomers such as KATTUGGLA the soft toy owl and PIPHARE the soft toy rabbit. For more information, visit www.ikeafoundation.org. K.I.N.D: Kids in Need of Desks offers desks ($65 each) for children in schools in Malawi, where four out of five students do not have a desk or chair. In addition, the fund is providing scholarships for girls in the country. A donation of $177 delivers one year of education, and is available for purchase at http://inspiredgifts. unicefusa.org/shop/schools. This holiday season, as travelers visit loved ones around the globe, they can use their spare currency to make a difference in the lives of children in need. Through UNICEF’s Change for Good program on American Airlines,
travelers can make donations of foreign and domestic currency on select international flights or at Admirals Club and Flagship Lounges. Through Delta’s SkyWish program, SkyMiles® members can donate their unused frequent flier miles to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for travel in support of UNICEF’s lifesaving work for children. As part of a long-standing partnership of over a decade between the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and Delta, this is a simple way for SkyMiles® members to put their unused miles to good use this holiday season. For more information or to donate miles, visit www.delta.com/skywish. Through Dec. 31, 2014, donations to UNICEF’s education programs in Syria will be matched one-for-one by Western Union, aiming to raise a total of $100,000 to support education programs in and around Syria. As part of its broader Education for Better Fund, Western Union has committed a minimum of $50,000 to support UNICEF’s efforts to provide education to children in Syria and neighboring countries. In the U.S., donations can be made via westernunion.com using a credit card or debit card. For more information or to donate, please visit www.westernunion.com/donate.

Unique, Fun-ctional Gifts for Kids If you’re looking for a unique alternative to the traditional trucks and dolls, a holiday gift that is both fun and functional is an ideal way to treat the kids on your shopping list this year. A present that is fun and has a purpose lets you get creative as you tackle holiday shopping, and feel good about giving a gift that can be used rather than being added to the already overwhelming mountain of toys and gadgets gracing most kids’ bedrooms. Start by gathering some basic details about the kids you’re buying for: favorite colors, sports teams, activities and so on. Ask parents for ideas that fall more toward “needs” than “wants” and you’ll be on your way. For some added inspiration, consider these unique but usable kid-friendly gift ideas: Bedding: For a child who has recently transitioned from a crib to toddler bed or toddler bed to bigkid bed, sheets are a way to honor this exciting milestone. Choose an appealing design, such as a beloved character, to maximize the fun factor. You can easily find sets under $30 at nearly any major retailer. Pain management: Help soothe little ones’ pain and reduce fever in a lovable, non-threatening way with kid-friendly cuddly cooling and huggable heating packs. Thermal-Aid Zoo stuffed animals are available in seven different familiar animal characters that kids will embrace when it comes time to treat an ailment. Find your favorite zoo animal at http://www.buythermalaid.com; a current promotion lets you get two for about $15 plus shipping and handling. Storage: You can now find a wide range of storage solutions that appeal specifically to kids.
From canvas cubes bearing funny critter faces to brightly colored bins and shelves, there are numerous options that help contain kids’ stuff in fun and funky containers. Prices vary widely, but can range from as little as $10 or less and up to $100 for larger units at most big box retailers. Outdoor gear: After months back in school, the holiday break may be the first extended period the kids on your list get to spend outside. Send them out to the elements in style with outerwear appropriate for your climate, such as matching scarf and gloves, new snow boots or a warm and cozy coat. You’re sure to find what you need at nearly any price point, from $5 for gloves up to $50
or more for a quality coat at most general retailers, clothing or sporting goods stores. Activity books: Make learning fun with ageappropriate books that offer interactive activities such as connect-the-dots, coloring, mazes and more for toddlers, and phonics, math and other subjects for the older kids. For an added touch, throw in a whimsical set of markers or crayons (parents will thank you if they’re washable). A book or two will run less than $10 at most major retailers. Regardless of your budget, you can find fun and functional gifts for the youngest kids on your holiday shopping list that they’ll be excited to receive and you can feel good about giving.
Tips to spruce up your home for the holidays
Holidays are when most people open their homes for friends and family. Sharing the season’s greetings is always the priority but these gatherings are also an opportunity to show off improvements made during the year. This is one of the reasons that autumn is a popular time for home improvements. Fifty-two percent of homeowners plan to make home improvements this fall, according to the leading real estate website Zillow. It is also a great time of year for deals as retailers unload inventory to make room for new styles. Creating a warm and inviting atmosphere includes much more than just poinsettias and Santa Claus centerpieces. There are a number of affordable steps homeowners can take to add a real “wow factor” to their holiday entertaining. Kitchen updates The kitchen is commonly one of the busiest rooms during the holidays. Since guests often gather there, it makes sense to make the space the focus for a few improvements before the holidays. Simple and inexpensive updates, such as adding new knobs and handles to cabinets or installing a new backsplash, will make a big difference. Stylish new light fixtures can also give your kitchen a quick facelift that will impress your guests. Page 6
Install hardwood floors The warmth and beauty of hardwood floors can transform the look and feel of your home to create a space that will stun your guests. And unlike carpet, hardwood floors do not stain or wear as easily from inevitable spills and foot traffic that the holidays bring.-Moreover, carpet traps dust, pollen and other particles that can cause allergies and respiratory issues. Visually unique flooring options such as Lumber Liquidators’ Bellawood Bamboo bring together
The San Clemente News
both the aesthetic and practical advantages of hardwood flooring. This flooring carries a 100-year transferable warranty that assures these benefits will be sustained for a lifetime of holiday gatherings. De-clutter It’s important to create inviting open space for guests to enjoy. Decluttering bookshelves and removing miscellaneous furniture can help make a room feel larger and more open, and will allow room for festive seasonal decor. Spending time to organize the refrigerator will make
space for any holiday dishes a guest brings. Improve the entry The front entry provides the first impression of a home, so it’s important to create a stylish, cared-for and welcoming look. Homeowners can complete small projects outside, such as updating house numbers, painting the front door and creating holidaythemed arrangements. Simple decor updates just inside the door - such as adding family photos and new rugs will add a warm and personal feel.

ANNUAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION “HANDEL’S GLORIOUS MESSIAH”! Rejoice in the inspired melodies and theatrical mastery of “Handel’s Glorious Messiah” when Pacific Symphony performs the Baroque masterpiece as a festive prelude to Christmas and the celebration of Christ’s birth. A holiday tradition across the world, “Messiah” has been performed for more than 250 years, but with each new conductor, orchestra and soloists, it becomes a fresh and newly invigorating experience. Austrian conductor Christoph Campestrini leads the Symphony along with Pacific Chorale and a host of globally distinguished soloists including soprano Katherine Whyte, mezzo-soprano Claire Shackleton, tenor Steven Tharp and baritone Richard Zeller. Full of exciting choral writing, thundering timpani and blazing trumpets, “Messiah” energizes its audience and leaves them singing, “Hallelujah!” Handel’s popular oratorio takes place at the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 3 p.m. Tickets are $25-$99. For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 7555799 or visit www.PacificSymphony. org. “It is always a great joy for me to conduct this beautiful masterpiece,” says Maestro Campestrini. “It is such a moving experience to tell together with the soloists, the chorus and the orchestra the ancient story of Jesus’ life, expressed in this most personal artistic statement of Handel. He had just recovered from a stroke when he set these words to music, and the gratitude for having regained his health again is deeply felt in this music.” Handel was born at the peak of the Baroque era, and he produced many operas before creating “Messiah,” which he compiled solely with biblical references. He was known as the “master of sacred and secular music,” and his talent of composing for voice and instrument shines in this most famous oratorio through the telling of Christ’s narrative. His talent in this piece seems as though it is “divine inspiration,” with a clear message of religion and exclamation of God’s glory. “This work has the great spiritual depth of a liturgical masterwork, but as Handel was also one of the most prominent opera composers of his time, it also contains the drama and excitement of a fascinating and thrilling story,” says Campestrini. “In a performance, it can be a uniquely moving experience when performers unite in one musical spirit and reach Page 8
out to the audience.” In this year’s rendition, Campestrini aims to keep the piece sounding new by studying past interpretations to gain a better understanding of Handel’s great work. Just like there are different versions of a movie, every conductor gives his unique take on a piece. It is an exciting experience to hear how a new conductor chooses to interpret the music, and how his past experiences are observed in the present performance. “To keep a musical work of the past fresh is one of the most important challenges for any performer,” says Campestrini. “With repeated performances of a work such as in this case, I study the circumstances of its composition more in depth each time, so that the interpretation as a whole will benefit. In Baroque music it is also quite fascinating to study what early music groups have done in their exploration of this repertoire and to incorporate some of these elements also in performances of traditional symphony orchestras. The combination of both of these worlds can be a wonderful experience.” Campestrini has conducted more than 120 orchestras across five continents, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Moscow Radio Symphony, Vienna Radio Symphony, Prague Philharmonia and the Queensland Philharmonic in Australia. He is also an accomplished opera conductor and has worked with well-known soloists Julian Rachlin, Rudolf Buchbinder, Alisa Weilerstein and Julia Fischer. In the past few years, Campestrini has proven his talent in the United States, and currently leads orchestras reaching from Philadelphia to Chicago. Along with these, he has performed with the Vancouver Symphony and the Calgary Philharmonic. He has previously performed with the Orchestre Symphonique de Quebec and Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra on a return invitation, and toured Austria multiple times with the Polish National Radio Symphony Katowice and the Wiener Concertverein, along with debut performances in Taiwan and China. Campestrini furthermore recorded music for labels and radio stations in Munich and Heidelberg, Germany; Austria; and the Czech Republic. Soprano Katherine Whyte has performed in her native country of Canada, the United States and Europe. Her most recent performances include the role of Donna Anna in “Don Giovanni,” as well as a solo-
The San Clemente News
ist in Beethoven’s Mass in C Major and Handel’s “Messiah.” Whyte has sung with many groups, including the Vancouver Opera, Houston Symphony, and the National Chorale and New Chorale Society. She made her debut as the title role in Canadian Opera Company’s “Iphigénie en Tauride.” Previously, she performed Strauss’ “Die ägyptische Helena” with the Metropolitan Opera as well as “Le Nozze di Figaro” with the Virginia Opera and “Rigoletto” with the English National Opera. She performed Mozart’s Requiem and Handel’s “Messiah” with the Houston Symphony, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the National Chorale and Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and Brahms’ “Ein deutsches Requiem” with the Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Costa Rica. Whyte won the Alice Tully Recital Competition and played a solo recital at Weill Hall in 2008. Mezzo-soprano Claire Shackleton earned her master of music degree at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where she played roles consisting of Der Komponist in “Ariadne auf Naxos” and Dorabella in “Cosí fan tutte.” Shackleton also performed Ravel’s “Shéhérazade” and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in concert at the conservatory. She is praised for her colorful tone and eye-catching stage presence. Her appearances for the 2014-15 season include Mercédés in “Carmen” with the New Orleans Opera, Annio in “La Clemenza di Tito” with Opera in the Heights and Bach’s Mass in B Minor with the Louisiana Philharmonic. She was recently named Young Artist of the Year at Central City Opera in 2013, and has received awards from the Shreveport Opera Singer of the Year Competition and FrancoAmerican Vocal Academy Grand Concours de Chant. Tenor Steven Tharp is recognized worldwide for his knowledge in a wide variety of repertoire and his sweet-
sounding voice. Noticed by The New Yorker and Opera News, Tharp’s voice has been called, “sweetness,” “strong, free and…lyrical in utterance.” Some of his previous performance repertoire includes the roles of Jaquino in “Fidelio,” Nemorino in “L’Elisir d’Amore” and Lysander in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” He has appeared in concert with orchestral groups such as the New York Philharmonic, Royal Philharmonic and Cincinnati Symphony. He has performed more than 50 operatic roles, although his strength lies in pieces by Mozart and Handel. To further his success, Tharp’s world-premiere recording of Edward MacDowell songs, accompanied by James Barbagallo, earned him a Grammy-Award nomination, and he is soon to record a classical piece by Schubert on CD. Tharp has even added stage direction as one of his accomplishments in productions such as the Manhattan School of Music’s Handel Project, which included “Alcina” and “Ariodante.” Baritone Richard Zeller is commended globally for both his concert and opera roles. Some of his better known roles are Marcello in “La Bohéme,” Ernesto in “Il Pirata” and Eddie in “A View from the Bridge.” He has worked with the Scottish Opera, Hamburgische Staatsoper, Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the San Diego Opera, performing operas such as “La Traviata,” “Boris Godunov” and “Andrea Chénier.” His appearances on stage include Mendelssohn’s “Elijah” with the Chicago Symphony, “Les Troyens” with the Boston Symphony, Handel’s “Messiah” with the Philadelphia Orchestra and “Carmina Burana” with the Buffalo Philharmonic and Huntsville Symphony. In this 2014-15 season, Zeller rejoins the Oregon Symphony to perform Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 as well as “Elijah” with the Park Bach Festival.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of OC Raises over $900,000 to Benefit Youth Melissa Beck and Moustafa Imam Referred to as the “premier networking event in Orange County,” nonprofit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County celebrated its 50th Annual “Gourmet Dinner” black-tie gala at the Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach with more than 450 of Southern California’s top business and community leaders, who helped to raise over $900,000 to benefit the organization’s professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships to change atrisk youth lives for the better. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s largest annual fundraiser offered a swanky and rat pack-vibe and featured liquor tastings, including with a monogrammed ice sculpture, a hand rolled cigar bar, and beautiful, luxury cars. Attendees had the opportunity to also don Black, Starr & Frost diamonds in the liquor and cigar lounge. Dinner by classically trained executive chef Vincent Lesage was served, including an entrée of pan-seared filet mignon with truffle perigourdine sauce and béarnaise with gratin dauphenoise and green asparagus, and dessert of salted caramel macadamia nut torte with espresso anglaise. During the event, Auction.com Chairman and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County Board Member of 25 years Rob Friedman was honored with the Joel K. Rubenstein Award, which is presented to those who have demonstrated loyal and profound passion for Big Brothers Big Sisters and made a lasting and permanent impact on the organization. A Newport Beach and a Nellie Gail Ranch resident, Friedman is a major financial supporter of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County, including with Irvine-based Auction.com being an ongoing presenting sponsor for the nonprofit’s events, such as the Gourmet Dinner. More so, he also provided the first challenge gift for the nonprofit’s capital expansion campaign, and through Auction.com is donating $750,000 for a new building which will enable the organization to grow its mentorship services by 100% over a decade. Additionally, Friedman has been the principal funder of the “Big” recruitment campaign, recognizing that one of the largest needs of the organization is finding dynamic and committed male volunteers. “We are deeply grateful to our supporters who help us provide the priceless experience of a mentorship match to our “Littles,” and thrilled to have celebrated our 50th anniversary of our largest annual fundraiser, the Gourmet Dinner,” said Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County CEO Melissa Beck. “We are especially excited to have honored Rob Friedman with the much-deserved Joel K. Rubenstein Award. If I could clone one person, it would be Rob Friedman. He is an invaluable supporter of our organization and cause and has positively impacted countless at-risk youth in the county over nearly three decades of support.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s “Honorary Big” program raised more than $228,000 at the event. The nonprofit’s version of funda-need, each $1,000 Honorary Big pledge funds one year of a mentorship match for one child. Attendees bid between $1,000 and $25,000 to support the program, with presenting sponsor Auction.com and Friedman capping off the excitement with a $100,000 match pledge should the “Honorary Big“ donations hit a total of $100,000. All proceeds from the Gourmet Dinner benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s youth mentorship programs. A Tustin-based nonprofit organization that helps youth to realize their potential and build their futures, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County provides over 2,400 children facing adversity with professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships to change their lives for the better. Youth (“Littles”) are matched with volunteer mentors (“Bigs”) to develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on their lives, with results including: in 2013-2014, 98% of “Littles” graduated high school on time, with 70% of “Littles” being the first in their family to receive a high school diploma. More so, 83% of “Littles” enrolled in college and 100% said their “Big” was their biggest influence to pursue a higher education for a better future. For more information, visit www.bigbrooc.org.

Hits Just Keep on Coming for Local Restaurateurs David Hall and Jaime Benson Urban Grill Expands Restaurant’s Gorgeous New Cocktail Bar
Co-owners David Hall and Jaime Benson seem pleased with success of their Urban Grill restaurant and cocktail bar. As the sun sets slowly over the Saddleback mountains overlooking Foothill Ranch, crowds of hungry diners from as far away as Newport Beach, and locals from nearby Coto de Caza, Dove Canyon, Rancho Santa Margarita and Mission Viejo are headed for the popular Urban Grill at 27412 Portola Parkway Foothill Ranch. What drives the locals to fill the seats of this popular upscale restaurant is most likely the combined 45 years’ experience in the restaurant business shared by co-owners David Hall and Jaime Benson who know how to please the crowds with succulent servings of USDA Prime steaks, fresh fish, as well as tasty yet affordable (some say best) burgers and sandwiches in all of South Orange County. Although they opened from scratch just two and a half years ago, co-owners David Hall and Jaime Benson have been dazzling their diners with extraordinary food and a couple of other well-kept secrets. “Just what is the secret to your incredible success? “asks the newspaper reporter. “I’m not afraid to tell you,” says co-owner Jaime Benson. “It’s not like anyone can steal this secret. It’s training, training, training and training! Both my partner David Hall and I are constantly training what we now consider to be a superb staff of thirty two employees. Our service staff knows the menu from top to bottom and they are well trained in what our Chefs are doing back in the kitchen to make

irresistible food together with every entrée and its’ accompanying side dishes.” He adds” this extra level of staff training reveals itself in the quality of customer experience. We know what makes the customer come back. “Customers love to see the confidence of our staff, “adds co-owner David Hall while holding a glass of boutique wine. “As you see, we have recently expanded our wine bar to more than 100 bottles of fine wine and twenty prestigious beers. Now we are pleased to be pouring a full array of all of the popular custom crafted cocktails, martinis, in addition to several popular non-alcoholic beverages.” Co-owners David Hall and Jaime Benson have a passion for food and wine and enjoy professional hospitality and service. “What else do you offer at Urban Grill?” asks the reporter. “Is it ok if we mention that we have Happy hour daily from 3-6pm and we open Sunday all day for NFL Football? Urban Grill Wine tasting Wednesdays every month. Intimate Patio dining is available all year round. We also cater all events from Weddings, holiday parties and office lunches.

Turkey Croissant
FAMILY FEATURES
A
fter the big day has come and gone, most holiday hosts find themselves still talking turkey. What to do with all that leftover bird? During the long weekend following the holiday, you can put those leftovers to good use. Recipes that incorporate turkey in deliciously unique ways will help you use up those leftovers and clear out the fridge before you know it. To ensure the tastiest dishes you can feel good about serving your loved ones, look for the USDA-verified seal on your turkey’s packaging to know that your turkey was raised with no growth-promoting antibiotics by farmers who care. One good option: Honeysuckle White, the first major turkey brand to supply turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics and without charging a premium price. For more recipes and preparation tips, visit www.honeysucklewhite.com.
Holiday Minis
Servings: 48 pieces Prep time: 15 minutes Bake time: 15-20 minutes 1 pound (or 3 cups) chopped Honeysuckle White turkey (dark and white meat) 1 package (14 ounces) cornbread stuffing mix 1 jar (16 ounces) turkey gravy 1 can (6 ounces) cranberry sauce with whole cranberries Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray mini muffin pans (as many as needed to make 48 bites) with nonstick cooking spray. Chop freshly cooked
Servings: 12 Prep time: 20 minutes Total time: 25 minutes 1 pound (approximately 2 cups) of leftover Honeysuckle White whole turkey, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 cup toasted pine nuts 1 cup diced celery 6 tablespoons chopped fresh chives 6 tablespoons diced red bell pepper 1 cup low-fat mayonnaise 2 tablespoons lemon juice 12 croissants
Combine turkey, pine nuts, celery, chives and red pepper in medium bowl. Stir in mayonnaise and lemon juice. Split croissants and place generous helping of turkey salad on bottom half of each, top with remaining half and serve. To toast pine nuts: Place nuts in dry skillet in single layer and toast over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent burning. Because pine nuts can burn easily, it is a good idea to watch until they are golden and fragrant, which means they are toasted.
Turkey, Spinach and Swiss Quiche
or leftover turkey into 1/4-inch pieces. In large bowl, prepare stuffing mix as directed on package. Add turkey to stuffing mixture. Stir in 1 cup turkey gravy.

In skillet, saute onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 2–3 minutes. Add cooked turkey and 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper to desired flavor. Set aside. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large stockpot on low. Saute celery, carrot, garlic and reserved 2 tablespoons onion for approximately 10 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Add yellow peppers, potatoes, stock and 1 tablespoon salt.

1 (9-inch) pie crust, unbaked Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.

Pour egg mixture over top. Bake approximately 50 minutes, or until center is set.
Darrell Glaser, a sixth-generation farmer from Texas, along with his mother, Jeannette, and wife, Shannon, started raising turkeys more than 20 years ago. Today, his four sons also help on the family’s farm. “We do everything we can to produce a quality product that other families would be comfortable eating during the holidays,” Glaser said. Glaser, who has raised nearly 14 million turkeys, says this starts with keeping the birds healthy and comfortable. “We take really good care to ensure the environment is just right for our turkeys. This includes keeping the floors of our barns dry and making sure the birds have plenty of fresh air and good quality water and feed,” Glaser said. Glaser says if turkeys are happy and comfortable, they are generally healthy, which reduces the need to prescribe medicine, like antibiotics. Glaser and his family are one of more than 700 independent farm families who are raising turkeys for Honeysuckle White without using growth-promoting antibiotics. “We feed America and want to provide a quality food source for our customers,” Glaser said. “With consumers more concerned about their food, if we can produce wholesome turkey without growth-promoting antibiotics, then we should.”

Holiday Gift Idea for Grandparents Protect your grandchild’s future with life insurance Tired of purchasing toys that break or that her grandchildren will outgrow, 62-year-old Barbara Carlson* decided the holidays were a perfect time to purchase a gift that will continue to protect both of her grandchildren well into their futures. “I just became a grandmother for the second time, and I bought a permanent youth life insurance policy for my new granddaughter that could either one day help protect her financially if the unexpected happens or help her pay for college,” said Carlson. She is not alone. Grandparents are increasingly giving the gift of life insurance to their grandchildren for many reasons. For Carlson, it was a way of helping her son and daughterin-law during a time when budgets are tight. She purchased the two youth whole life insurance policies so the new parents could focus on more immediate concerns, such as increased childcare expenses and other necessities. “I bought both youth policies when the grandchildren were newborns
and their policies will mature in 20 years,” added Carlson. “That means when my grandchildren reach age 20, they can either keep their policy as life insurance protection or they may decide to borrow against the cash value to help pay for college.” Carlson pays approximately $15 a month for each child’s policy and those premium payments never increase. Her son maintains sole control of the policies until her grandchildren reach the age of 16, with some restrictions. Three Tips for Purchasing Youth Life Insurance 1. Consider youth policies that are whole life policies. Whole life youth policies are a form of permanent life insurance. That means the child continues to be insured, regardless of changes in her or his health condition, as long as the policy remains in force and the premiums are paid. The premium payments are guaranteed and never increase. 2. Purchase youth life insurance at younger ages. While many organizations offer youth life insurance up to age 18, typically the
earlier you purchase the policy, the less expensive it is over the coverage period. 3 . D i ff e r e n t l i f e i n s u r a n c e organizations offer additional childfriendly benefits. In addition to offering youth life policies, life insurers such as not-for-profit insurer Royal Neighbors of America, also offers its members benefits which currently include scholarship opportunities that
can help fund the costs of a college education. For more information on life insurance products or member benefits such as scholarships, log on to www.royalneighbors.org or call (866) 845-6665. * Details have been altered to ensure personal privacy. Photo courtesy of Getty Images.

7 Ways to Cut Your Holiday Expenses By Jason Alderman When it comes to holiday spending, waiting in store lines all night and jostling for discounts will mean very little if you don’t have a budget that shapes your finances year-round. With the average U.S. household spending $600-$700 in 2014 for the holidays, putting that money together shouldn’t be a game of chance. Here are some tips to get it right: 1. Before you make a list, plan. How’s your debt? Do you have an emergency fund or any savings put aside? Start the holiday season by getting a handle on what you owe and what you’re spending day-today. Then plan a holiday budget (www.practicalmoneyskills.com/ YourHolidayBudget) as early as possible that allows you to spend wisely. 2. See what spending is really necessary. It’s tough to cut young kids off a gift list, so turn to the adults. If your finances are limited, it’s worth asking adult friends and family members if they’d consider a gift swap or forego gifts altogether. They might
actually think it’s a good idea. 3. Attack your everyday expenses. Want to afford the holidays? Consider evaluating some expensive habits. Try reducing the amount you are spending on expensive nights out. Cook at home and bring your lunch to work. Use public transportation. Compare and cut your auto and home insurance premiums. Turn down the thermostat, dump magazine subscriptions, gym memberships and any other budget item you’re not using. You’ll find that savings build quickly. 4. Browse before you buy. Assuming you’ve made a tight gift list, create a gift budget (www.practicalmoneyskills. com/YourGiftLog) tracking precisely what you’re willing to pay for every item. For must-have, non-negotiable gifts, you may have to pounce before Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday and Monday for both price and selection. Also, don’t forget to budget for holiday entertainment www.practicalmoneyskills.com/ EntertainmentPlanner). It’s a potentially huge cost. Plan ahead and don’t waver.
5. Create your own Holiday Club. Online savings and money market accounts can allow you to set aside your holiday budget in small amounts throughout the year and they’ll pay better rates than the last few banks offering Holiday Club savings accounts. 6. Watch gas and shipping. Smart shoppers weigh the value of store trips versus online shopping. They also keep an eagle eye for advertised online and shipping discounts. Sign up for special deals and coupons, consolidate in-person trips to stores and make sure you review return policies at online and bricks-andmortar stores before you buy. Paying return fees or missing a window to return a gift entirely can cost big money. 7. Keep good records. Whether you track your finances on paper or on a computer, develop a system that allows you to match your holiday list to what you spend every year. Good recordkeeping not only allows you to track the numbers, but also prevents you from duplicating gifts or
overspending year to year. And it’s always a good idea to keep a list of what you get from others to make sure you’re thanking people appropriately. Finally, consider whether it’s worth making new holiday traditions that go beyond gift giving. Some families consider contributing throughout the year to a joint vacation or reunion fund to bring everyone together. You might also consider the needs of aging or needy relatives who need assistance with chores, transportation or pet care. The holidays are what you make them.
Gracious etiquette tips to survive holiday gatherings Whether you are hosting a fantastic holiday gathering or you’re the gracious guest, ask yourself this question: Are you comfortable with your knowledge of etiquette? Are you confident in your table manners or do you admit you take your cue by watching those around you? “It seems so many people only think about etiquette during the holidays and then the pressure is on to be perfect,” says etiquette coach Dubravka Vujinovic. “But proper manners should be important at every meal, whether you are sitting down to a formal gathering or casual dinner with friends.” Vujinovic is one of the etiquette experts at North Carolina-based Replacements, Ltd., the world’s largest retailer of old and new china, crystal, silver and collectibles. This time of year the company is bombarded with inquiries from
Page 16
those needing a crash course in proper social graces and entertaining. Questions range from how to set the table, to the best way to serve the perfect meal. Vujinovic offers these suggestions for your next event. * Break out the buffet Buffets settings are becoming increasingly popular. In this style of setting the host places the food, dinnerware and utensils on a sideboard or table and guests serve themselves. “I love buffets, because they are so stress-free for me as a hostess,” says Vujinovic. “Since the food is already on the serving table, I don’t have to keep running back and forth to the kitchen to keep bringing out different courses or dishes; I can relax and enjoy the evening. On the other hand, as a guest, I like buffets because this setting allows me to eat the food I want; I don’t feel obligated to have to sample everything that is being passed around the table.” If you’re hosting a s e a t e d b u ff e t , w a t e r glasses should be filled and on the table before your guests sit down to their meal. Guests should be guided to pick up their dinnerware and

place it at their individual setting. * Set the perfect table If you opt to set your table in advance or if you’re a buffet guest setting your own place setting, remember, forks go to the left, knives then spoons to the right. The sharp side of the knife blade should be turned toward the dinner plate. And remember, only include utensils in your place setting that will be used for the courses you are serving; extra pieces may confuse your guests. The bread plate goes on the left of the dinner plate, glasses on the right. Don’t panic if you aren’t sure about the proper place setting for each meal. Vujinovic says you can find “cheat sheets” or place setting guides for various meals on the company’s website, replacements.com, under the site’s “neat things” tab. * Tips for hosts and guests Remember, the host/hostess always sits last. That person will let you know when it’s OK to begin eating. They may offer a blessing or statement or perhaps start by passing a dish. Always pass food around the table counter clockwise to your right and refrain from serving yourself first. Pass the salt and pepper as a set, even if you’re only asked for one.
If you’re not sure which utensil to use with each course, start on the outside and work in toward the dinner plate. Don’t cut more than one or two bites of food at a time, and never butter an entire roll or piece of bread. Instead, pinch off pieces small enough for one or two bites and butter those first. If you need to excuse yourself temporarily, place your napkin on your chair to indicate you will be coming back. Signify you’re finished with the meal by placing your napkin to the left of the dinner plate, and your fork and knife side by side diagonally across your plate with the sharp side of the knife blade facing inward and the fork tines up. Turn your cellphone on vibrate or don’t even bring it to the table. Enjoy the company of those around you. And what if you commit a major holiday fumble by accidently breaking a piece of the host’s dinnerware? “You should certainly offer to replace the broken piece, especially if it has sentimental value for the host or hostess. If you don’t know the name of the pattern or the manufacturer, Replacements offers a free pattern identification service that is a valuable resource,” says Vujinovic.

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, this information can be obtained from one of the following three companies: LPS Agency Sales and Posting at (714) 730-2727, or visit the Internet Web site www.servicelinkASAP.com (Registration required to search for sale information) or Priority Posting and Publishing at (714) 573-1965 or visit the Internet Web site www.priorityposting. com (Click on the link for “Advanced Search” to search for sale information), or auction.com at 1-800-280-2832 or visit the Internet Web site www.auction.com, using the Trustee Sale No. shown above. 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. A-4498551 11/28/2014, 12/05/2014, 12/12/2014
