My husband and i had the most wonderful experience working with Amy. in the past 2 years we have worked with three realtors, none of which were as professional or insightful as Amy. She clearly understood our housing market and understood how to price our home so that not only would we make money, but it would sell quickly as we were in escrow on another home prior to listing our home. Within two days of listing our home- we had a full price offer. We have met and worked with several realtors and have often felt like one of many- we are not provided updates, status, ect. and it is darn near impossible to reach them. Amy never once made us feel like a number, but we always felt like her priority. We never once had to follow up with her to find out how a showing went, status on escrow, ect. she kept us informed every step of the way which was greatly appreciated and credits her professionalism. Amy is also without a doubt one of the warmest individuals we have ever had the privilege of working with. i will refer her to all our friends and family and i can confidently say we will never work with another realtor. Thank you, Amy!!

The History of Valentine’s Day: Who was St. Valentine? By Scott Brodie This history of Valentine’s Day is shrouded in mystery. While every February 14, Valentine’s Day, couples send romantic Valentines, no one knows the true history of Valentine’s Day. Many believe the history of Valentine’s Day can be found in the question, “Who was Saint Valentine?” The Roman Catholic Church has three saints named Valentine, or Valentinus. Of these three, the history of Valentine’s Day supposedly honors the first Saint Valentine. So, who was Saint Valentine? Saint Valentine was a third-century priest in Rome. He was martyred. Any further answer to, “Who was Saint Valentine?,” is speculation. Yet, there are three theories about the history of Valentine’s Day. Each attempts to answer, “Who was Saint Valentine?” Who Was Saint Valentine? A Priest Marrying Couples. According to this theory on the history of Valentine’s Day, Saint Valentine was a priest during Emperor Claudius II’s reign. Because Claudius II believed single men were better soldiers than married men, he outlawed marriage for young men. Saint Valentine did not adhere to Claudius II’s proclamation, however, and continued to perform marriages in secret. When he was
discovered, Saint Valentine was imprisoned and sentenced to death. Who Was Saint Valentine? A Priest Freeing Christians. Another theory about the history of Valentine’s Day contends that Saint Valentine was sentenced to death for free Christians from Roman prisons. This is the least romantic history of Valentine’s Day, but it portrays Saint Valentine as a heroic and strong figure. Who Was Saint Valentine? The First Valentine. According to this romantic theory of the history of Valentine’s Day, Saint Valentine sent the first valentine. He supposedly fell in love while imprisoned. Perhaps it was the jailor’s daughter who he loved. Whoever the lady was, he sent her a letter signed, “From your Valentine.” The truth is, no one can answer, “Who was Saint Valentine?” Since it remains unknown, the question for today is not, “Who was Saint Valentine?” Rather the question is, “Who is Saint Valentine now?” Whoever he was, Saint Valentine is remembered as a strong, heroic and romantic figure. It is no wonder lovers have been sending love letters in his name, as valentines, ever since the Middle Ages.

capistrano Mission PROJECT to lure back the swallows Mission San Juan Capistrano’s enterprising Swallows Vocalization Project is now underway for the fourth and final season, an effort to lure the popular birds onto the mission grounds. The Swallows Vocalization Project incorporates speakers that play swallows courtship calls and songs in an effort to lure the swallows, which migrate from Argentina each March before returning to Argentina in October. The number of swallows nesting at the mission has diminished over time because of urbanization, which has given the swallows more options to build their mud homes. The Swallows Vocalization Project idea came from swallows expert Dr. Charles Brown, who was summoned to the mission in 2012 from the University of Tulsa, where he is a professor of biological sciences. Dr. Brown’s idea has worked. Swallows that flew overhead and might not have explored the mission and considered it a place to nest are now descending to the mission grounds, where they can build nests. “The recording is of courtship songs that males use to attract females. And males would be attracted too because they are very social birds,”
Dr. Brown said. “It’s a matter of attracting them in; we know they are overhead and in the area.” The project involves a systematic program of playing the courtship calls and songs a few times a day, when the weather is good and during the times the swallows would be foraging. Dr. Brown has suggested that this be the final year of the Swallows Vocalization Project so that he can incorporate a new phase in attracting the bird. Stayed tuned for Dr. Brown’s next idea. To set up an interview with Dr. Brown, please email joe@juvecreative.com.

3 easy steps to sweeten someone’s Valentine’s Day Nearly everyone has more than one special person in their life. Whether it’s a neighbor who lets the dog out, the friend who watches the kids in a pinch or a colleague who makes Mondays a little more bearable, loved ones make our days better. A simple thank you or a small thank you gift can go a long way in showing those people just how much you appreciate them. A recent survey revealed that most people do have multiple “loves” in their lives. In fact, significant others aren’t the only ones who get Valentine’s Day gifts these days. This survey, which was commissioned by Rich Products, a leading provider to foodservice, in-store bakery and retail marketplaces, showed that Valentine’s Day now extends way beyond that one special person. Forty four percent of people said that they purchase gifts for multiple people on Valentine’s Day. When asked to identify their “other loves,” friends were at the top of the list; and surprisingly, among their favorite gifts were fresh baked goods ranging from cookies, cupcakes and other sweet treats. So to sweeten your relationships all year round, small thank you gifts are both welcomed and appreciated. And keep in mind it’s not the size of the gift that matters. Survey results show that good things come in small, personalized packages.Give the gift of deliciousnessTo get started, remember showing your appreciation doesn’t have to be expensive and time consuming. Gifts can be purchased on your weekly (or daily) trip to the grocery store then personalized and decorated with things that you have around the
house. You can stock up on these inexpensive supplies at your local craft store. Here are some simple, low-cost steps to show someone you care: Step 1: Visit the bakery department in your local grocery store for a variety of fresh and delicious options. From frosted cookies, to cinnamon rolls, cupcakes and doughnuts, you’ll find a treat to please everyone on your list - and there’s no baking involved. Step 2: Personalize each gift by selecting a baked good and using basic art or wrapping supplies (think ribbon spools and tissue paper leftover from Christmas) that you have around the house to dress up your gifts. Step 3: Attach a personalized, handwritten note on a piece of construction paper or cardstock. Cut the paper to size, punch a hole
to thread a ribbon through and tie it to your gift.Other ideas for a quick and easy do-it-yourself ways to dress up your gift: * Homemade gift bags: Cut hearts out of construction paper and glue onto a lunch bag. * Decorative plates: Find inexpensive, seasonal or colored ceramic plates at your local discount store and wrap with cellophane and a bow. * Sweet surprise: Grab a small gift box, place some tissue inside, add your selected baked good and tie with a colored bow. Make sure that the baked good is secure in the box. You don’t want it to crumble. For more simple and creative gifting and packaging ideas, visit the Bakery Because Pinterest board at www.pinterest.com/bakerybecause.

Great Gifts for Your Valentine. Online Valentine’s Gifts that Are Sure to Please Flowers and candy are great, but wouldn’t it be nice to surprise your valentine with something unique this year. Check out the suggestions below for memorable ways to say “I love you.” 1. The Sweethearts Photo Collage Frame is a unique, personalized gift that is appreciated by all. Inside the handsome frame a mat in this frame is cut to order with the letters of your names (you and your sweetheart) with a heart cutout between. 2. Give the gift that keeps on

Above all, remember, it’s the thought that counts, but it’s better to have a nice gift to go along with that.
Share Some Love with Cupcakes
Five Decadent and Easy Chocolate Desserts for Valentine’s Day By Freida Thomas I can’t think of anything better than treating your sweetheart with a homemade dinner and an easy decadent dessert this Valentine’s day. I’ll leave the dinner up to you, but below are five sweet and delicious suggestions for desserts to make for your Valentine this year! Simple but Yummy Brownie Sundae The key to making this common dessert special is to cut your favorite baked brownies into individual hearts with a 3 ½ inch heart shaped cookie cutter. To assemble, use a white plate and squirt some raspberry sauce in a decorative pattern. Place a scoop of strawberry ice cream on one side of plate. Lay your heart shaped brownie up against the ice cream. Make the mood more romantic by slowly feeding this delish dish to your valentine! Chocolate Fondue What would Valentine’s Day be without chocolate fondue? Serve while the fondue is warm. Load up skewers with fruits of all kinds: bananas, strawberries, pineapples, apple slices, pear slices, and marshmallows. This dipping dessert is only limited by your imagination. Page 6
The possibilities are endless! Brownie Heart Cupcakes This is simple yet will convey your love on Valentine’s Day. Bake your favorite cupcake and brownie recipes. Use a 1 ½ in heart cookie cutter to cut heart shapes from the brownies. Frost your cupcakes with a pink Basic Butter cream Icing recipe. Then carefully place your heart shaped brownie on top of the cupcake. Optionally, you could place a cherry on top of the brownie! Chocolate and Banana Waffle Panini (perfect to serve your Valentine for breakfast in bed) This is an easy recipe, but will make a big impression. Simply take 2 frozen waffles, spread 1 side of each waffle with butter. Place sliced bananas, and 1 oz. of chopped chocolate in between the non-buttered sides of the waffles. Heat the waffle Panini, buttered sides out, in a medium skillet, covered, until he chocolate melts and the waffles are crisp and done, about 2 minutes per each side! Chocolate Drizzled Nuts with Sea Salt If your Valentine is a nut lover (notice I didn’t say nut), but a lover of nuts, try this sweet and salty recipe to
The San Clemente News
have with a glass of wine after your romantic dinner. You can make this with a single nut of your choice or a can of lightly salted mixed nuts. I prefer the mixed because I’m a lover of all nuts! Line a rimmed cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread out 2 cups of nuts on it. Next melt ¼ pound of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is
melted and smooth. Drizzle nuts with the chocolate and ½ teaspoon flakey sea salt. Place the cookie sheet with the nuts in the refrigerator until set, about 15 to 20 minutes. Break apart into pieces before serving. Any of these five easy yet decadent recipes will be appreciated by a chocolate lover, especially if they are made and presented with a kiss and an “I love you.”

Top Ten Valentines Gifts for Women By Debra Proctor Choose from the top ten Valentines Gifts for women and you can’t go wrong. Women place much more importance on Valentine’s Day than men do, so the last thing you want to do is gloss over this important day. Show her she’s special by giving her one of the best Valentine’s gifts possible. Here’s a list of the top ten Valentines gifts for women to give you some great ideas. #1 - Get Away Trip For the Valentines experience of a lifetime, treat her to a romantic getaway trip. You can go all out and book a trip to St. Maarten or Belize or stay local and have a romantic weekend at a bed and breakfast or spa. Either way, she’ll know she’s special with a gift like this. #2 - Flowers There’s not a woman alive who doesn’t appreciate flowers and now giving flowers is easier than ever. You can go the traditional route and order from your local florist or save some time and order online. If you love the idea of giving her flowers but need to save some cash, most grocery and discount stores have live bouquets. Pick a pretty bouquet, choose one of the vases, add a pretty bow and you’re all set. #3 - Handcrafted Gift Are you handy? If you are, think about your hobby and how you can use it to create a one-of-a-kind gift. If you’re not so handy, shop local stores that sell handcrafted items. You’ll usually find these tucked away in shopping strips or in the historic or tourist section of town. If you prefer to shop online, try Etsy. com. This entire website is filled with all handcrafted items for you to choose from. #4 - Personalized Gift When you give a personalized gift, it tells the woman you love that you went the extra mile and actually put some thought into the gift. Shop websites like www.ThingsRemembered.com or www.PersonalCreations for items you can have engraved, monogrammed or to have a special picture turned into a canvas print. #5 - Jewelry Jewelry is right up there with candy and flowers. Your decision here revolves around your budget and what kind of statement you want to make. Fine jewelry shows a woman that you are getting pretty serious while less expensive fashion jewelry is just fun to receive. Shop for fine jewelry at stores like Jared.com, Zales.com and Kay.com. You can find a good assortment of pretty fashion jewelry at any major department store. Necklaces and Page 8
bracelets are easiest to buy as you don’t have to get a certain size. #6 - Breakfast in Bed If you want to really impress the women in your life, treat her to breakfast in bed. Clueless about what to cook and how to do it? Let AskMen. com give you some help with their breakfast in bed article. #7 - Love Letter Writing a love letter might make you feel silly, but your loved one will be thrilled. For those of you who need help doing this (and who doesn’t?) read this article on How to Write a Love Letter> for step-by-step instructions. #8 - Romantic Dinner Do you have a special restaurant as a couple? Where did you go for your first date? Make reservations at your special restaurant or recreate your first date and relive the memories. Women love taking trips down memory lane. #9 - Creative Dates If the love of your life is adventurous, dinner and a movie won’t impress her. Instead, give her the thrill of a lifetime by planning something adventurous and exciting. Look creatively at the area you live. What are the special tourist attractions? Do you live in wine country? Take a tour of a winery and have a picnic complete with wine and cheese. Is it warm in your part of the country on Valentine’s Day? Try whitewater rafting. For thrill seekers, set up a date for bungee jumping, hang gliding, hot air balloon or a helicopter ride. #10 - Candy Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but let’s face it, all women love chocolate. Wow her with a gourmet chocolate assortment like Godiva Gold Gourmet Chocolate Gift Basket
The San Clemente News
or Homemade Gourmet Chocolate Candy Bars. The main thing to remember about giving a gift that makes a lasting impression on the woman you love, is the thought. The special woman in your life will be happy as long as
she knows you put some thought into choosing the gift and that it comes from the heart. Use this list of top ten Valentines Day gifts for ideas and you’ll soon find the perfect gift for that perfect woman in your life.

A Night with Gatsby Benefits Local Foster Youth at the 2015 Anaheim Ducks Jubilee Photos by Ann Chatillon Ducks team captain Ryan Getzlaf with Tracy and Mike Bilek Flapper dresses, top hats, and tails abounded at The Colony House in Anaheim in support of Orangewood Children’s Foundation. A sold-out crowd of 500 guests joined the Anaheim Ducks for their Great Gatsby style “Ducks Jubilee” casino night, bringing a roaring ‘20s retrofit to the annual fan-favorite costumed cocktail event. Ducks players, dressed in tails, top hats, and gold bow-ties and pocket squares, mingled with the crowd, posed for photos, and joined guests at the gaming tables. The event committee was led by Orangewood’s 44 Women for Children auxiliary members Kelly Bozza and Stacey Kinney, and the title sponsor was The Klein Family (Bill and Jenny Klein and daughter Whitney were in attendance). Guests enjoyed ‘20s style cocktails which included the Gin Rickey, Manhattan and The French 75. There was also a champagne tower, various buffet stations, catered by 24 Carrots Catering and Events the buffet stations located throughout the venue had a Great Gatsby Inspired menu which included International cheese display, grilled petite lamb chops, shrimp cocktails, phyllo-encrusted spinach stuffed mushrooms, gorgonzola crusted beef tenderloin crostini, mashed potato martini station and a carving station with prime rib. At the floating dessert display guests enjoyed Salted caramel tart, crème brulee spoon, a yummy deconstructed snickers in a Ducks player Corey Perry, Michele Ryan and Tim Ryan (Ducks EVP shot glass, chocolate pot de crème, mini lavender bars, key lime tarts and & COO and Orangewood board member) pecan bourbon tarts The musical entertainment, Blazing Pianos, got the crowd out on the dance floor, dancing to cover tunes from the ‘20s to today. A jazz trio provided themed background music for guests in “The Captain’s Club” casino room, where Vegas-style games of Blackjack, Craps and Roulette were offered. An extensive variety of silent auction items were available for bidding. Guests could also purchase tickets for five opportunity prizes. Up for grabs were Anaheim Ducks Autographed Wine Package Item; a basket with an Anaheim Ducks #10 Corey Perry Autographed Jersey, Edmonton Oilers #4 Taylor Hall Autographed Jersey and four (4) Plaza Level tickets to the April 1, 2015 Anaheim Ducks vs. Edmonton Oilers game. There was also a Toshiba Slim LED 40” TV; a Strider Paddleboard package from Jimmy Styks including one paddleboard, adjustable paddle, leash, fin and storage bag with 2 paddleboard sessions/ 1 Kayak During a brief program, Ducks Head Coach Bruce Boudreau welcomed the crowd. Boudreau drew laughter and applause when he commented on his top hat and tails attire, saying, “It’s been suggested that I bear a striking resemblance to a board game character. But, no, I am not the Monopoly man!” Orangewood CEO, Chris Simonsen, thanked the crowed and the Ducks organization for supporting the Foundation, saying “Thanks especially to Ducks player Matt Belesky, event co-chair Stacey Kinney and Ducks the Ducks players who are so generous and gracious with their time at player Devante Smith-Pelly tonight’s event.” Also in the crowd were Ducks co-owner and long-time Orangewood supporter, Susan Samueli (founding chair of the Orangewood’s 44 Women for Children auxiliary and also an Orangewood board member); Ducks players including Team Captain Ryan Getzlaf, NHL 2012 All-Star Corey Perry, Cam Fowler, and goalie Frederik (Freddy) Andersen; title sponsors Jenny and Bill Klein and daughter Whitney Klein; Kelly and Jim Mazzo; past 44 Women board chair Lupe Erwin; and Orangewood board member Sandi Jackson and husband Doug Jackson. Founded in 1981, Orangewood Children’s Foundation is one of the leading providers of services to current and former foster youth. Their mission is to provide life-changing prevention and intervention programs for abused and neglected children, young adults and at-risk families through one-on-one support and community partnerships to end the cycle of child abuse. Last year they helped over 1,500 children and teens with programs that prepare them to make a successful transition from the foster care system to independent adulthood. Their programs focus on education, employment, housing, life skills and basic needs. Without the Foundation’s support and guidance, these children can become homeless, unemployed or incarcerated.

5 Gifts He’ll Love on Valentine’s Day By Alison Harrison How to pick a valentine’s gift for the man in your life? You love him no matter what. You don’t mind that he drops his shirts on the floor, can’t hear you when he watches football, and still likes to eat pizza out of the box in front of the Tivo. But choosing the perfect Valentines gift for him is hard. Here are 5 ways to show him you care on Valentine’s Day without being too cutesy (unless he likes that). A beer gift basket Beer on the Wall has a great selection of beer gift baskets and beer of the month options. This will probably delight him more than any box of Valentine’s Day chocolates. If he’s not a beer drinker, then how about some of the vinyards and wine sellers who offer wine clubs with gift boxes or monthly deliveries? Cookie bouquet There are lots of surveys stating that men actually want to receive flowers on Valentine’s Day. Uh-huh. I’m betting he’d rather have a “bouquet” of his favorite cookies instead. Try Cookies By Design for a great selection. Or if you’re feeling domestic, why not bake him up a batch?
Not sweet toothed? Many meat producers offer gift packs of bacon, steaks or jerky. Or sign him up to a farmers vegetable box delivery so he can whip up his favorite vegetarian food all year round. Personalized T’s If he’s more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of a guy than a fancy restaurant customer, try Café Press for a range of fantastic T’s or create your own with a personal message. Looking for something a little more upscale? Cufflinks or collar stays can be engraved with initials or special messages. Tickets If you have the cash, buy some front row seats to his favorite team or band. if you’re on a more meager budget this year,then try tickets to a film that he wants to see - especially if it’s a type you’re not so keen on. You get the double benefit of having bought the gift and letting him see that you’ll go out of your way to make him happy. Weekend away Just you and your honey in a cosy cottage with a hot tub and the sound of the sea. Or a swanky hotel room
in the heart of the city. Travel prices are down a little this year so splash out and make it a weekend he won’t forget. Deep down, men and women both want the same - to be loved and ap-
preciated and maybe spoiled a little. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to use your imagination but make sure that,whatever the gift,you give it with love.
A Dreamy Valentine’s Day Dessert If you’re looking for a way to cook up some romance this Valentine’s Day, skip the traditional box of chocolates and try an impressive dessert instead. This recipe for Dreamy Medjool Date Pudding Cake with Caramel Infusion uses Bard Valley Natural Delights, the popular dates grown by a small group of family farmers in the Southwest. Sweet, succulent and with a caramel-like flavor, Medjool dates were once reserved for royalty. But you can delight in these luscious fruits any time and give your Valentine the royal treatment. For more delectable recipes ripe for romance, visit www.naturaldelights.com. Dreamy Medjool Date Pudding Cake with Caramel Infusion Prep Time: 75 minutes Serves: 8 Butter and powdered cocoa, to prepare pan 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup Bard Valley Natural Delights Medjool Dates, pitted and chopped (about 10) 1 1/2 cups boiling water 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup brown sugar, packed 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 eggs 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour, sifted Caramel sauce: 1 cup brown sugar 1 1/4 cups whipping cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup butter Page 14
Preheat oven to 350°F. To prepare baking pan, brush inside of a Bundt pan thoroughly with melted butter. Liberally sprinkle powdered cocoa over butter, then turn upside down and tap to remove excess cocoa. In small bowl, sprinkle baking soda over dates. Add water and set aside for 20 minutes. In large bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, fold in date mixture and flour until well mixed. Batter will be thin. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the

center comes out clean. Allow to stand for about one minute, then carefully turn onto a plate. To make the caramel sauce, set saucepan over medium heat and add sugar, cream, vanilla and butter. Cook, stirring often, until sauce comes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 more minutes. While cake is still warm, use a wooden skewer to make holes all over the top of the cake. Pour half of the warm sauce over the warm cake. Garnish with glace cherries, if desired. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Cut into slices and serve with remaining sauce. Serve immediately.

Valentine Sayings About Love By David Searm Mere words put together, when expressed with love and profound emotions transpire into “notes of love”. They are simple yet all expressive, all romantic! You know it when you see the spark in your lover’s eyes, their radiant smile as you read out one on a silent evening. Valentine sayings are exactly that. Put together your feelings into words and weave a line or two on it! Not that you always have to croon your own thoughts into lines. Writers, poets and thinkers across the ages have written about love in abundance. You can seek inspiration from them and write your own notes. Else you can simply quote a line or two from Valentine Sayings written by eminent writers. A simple valentine saying not only serenades love and your beloved, but also expresses your thoughts. Pick up the ones that suit you best. Make a scroll and scribble few lines on it to give it a “Romeo-Juliet” feel. Else writing on a parchment or a greeting card is just perfect. “Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love!” from Moulin Rouge (movie)
I’m one of the famous writers from mydearvalentine. I use to write on various love and Valentine Day Recipes topics like Valentine Sayings, Valentine Quotes and Love Quotes. Know more about Valentine Day 2011 from mydearvalentine.com “Other men said they have seen angels/ But I have seen thee/And thou art enough.” By G. Moore “Soul meets soul on lover’s lips” by Percy Bysshe Shelly “When you love someone, all your saved-up wishes start coming out.” By Elizabeth Bowen “I love you - those three words have my life in them” by Alexandrea to Nicholas III ~ “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn/ Is to love and be loved in return.” From “Unforgettable with Love” by Natalie Cole “Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.” By Aristotle “What I do and what I dream include thee, as the wine must taste of its own grapes...” by Elizabeth Barret Browning “She walks in Beauty, like the night/ of cloudness climes and starry skies, And all that’s best of dark and bright/ Meet in her aspect and her eyes...” By Lord Byron
“Love distills desire upon the eyes; love brings bewitching grace into the heart.” By Euripides “What I feel for you seems less of earth and more of a cloudless heaven.” By Victor Hugo “Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one.” By John Keats “Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart.” By Alphonse Marie de la Martine “Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.” By Alexander Smith “The more I give to thee, the more I have, for both are infinite.” By William
Shakespeare “I am my beloved, and my beloved is me.” From the Song of Solomon “To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.” By Karen Sunde “Love is something eternal; the aspect may change, but not the essense.” By Vincent van Gogh “Here are fruits, flowers, leaves, and branches, And here is my heart which beats only for you.” By Paul Verlaine When you want to say more and you are wondering how, share a romantic Valentine saying with your partner. Let it work out the fairytale romance for you!

Depending on your serving needs, you can make one large heart-shaped meatloaf or several smaller sized ones. You can then top the meatloaves off with tomato sauce, ketchup or another red sauce of your

Any information obtained will be used for that purpose. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien 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 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.
