Women’s style: Expert advice for dressing and feeling more confident A variety of factors play into a confident appearance, but many women are unaware of simple ways they can come across as more poised and self-assured every day. Bobbie Thomas, national style expert and author of The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow, shares her advice on quick and easy ways to look and feel more confident. Get in touch with your personal style: Pull the inside out. This is the key to self-expression and the
definition of true style. To do this, women should ask themselves, “What do I want to say? Attract? And what is the most important thing I want others to know about me?” Then, take an honest look in the mirror and make sure their reflections match that message. Lastly, women need to invest in themselves - learn their best colors, most flattering cuts for their body types, and then take the time to edit their closets according to their goals. Consider your body language:
Women’s confidence comes from within, but it is just as important to be conscious of messages communicated nonverbally, as they are important to other people’s perceptions. A woman’s body language speaks louder than words and says a lot about her comfort and core confidence. What can make a huge difference? Focusing on posture and standing tall, making eye contact when speaking to people and even smiling can communicate confidence. Stretching every morning or practicing yoga are also great ways for women to learn how to balance and improve the way they carry themselves. Plus, not only does good posture help with exuding strong selfconfidence, it can also contribute to overall health and even make your clothes look their best. Pay attention to the details: Most women have
mastered their everyday beauty routines, but often neglect caring for their armpit skin. Underarms require the same attention as the rest of the body and can make a major difference in the way women feel when wearing sleeveless attire. The Dove PitiCure will help women give their armpits the care they need in three simple steps. First, exfoliate the area with a gentle exfoliating wipe to draw out impurities in the skin. Second, use warm water to rinse the area clean and pat dry with a soft towel. Finally, I recommend using New Dove Advanced Care to moisturize the skin because it is the only Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant formulated with NutriumMoisture and is proven to make underarm skin softer and smoother in just three days. Plus, women can expect 48hour odor and wetness protection for long-lasting freshness. As simple as it may seem, underarm care can have a significant impact on a woman’s style choices. With one less thing to worry about, she is more likely to feel strong, powerful and self-assured in her own skin, which will cascade throughout all aspects of her life. Visit Dove.com for more information on New Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant with NutriumMoisture.

Last September, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in coordination with the City of San Clemente began construction of safety improvements and an audible warning system (AWS) at seven crossings along the San Clemente Coastal Trail. The trail has remained open for recreational use, and OCTA has coordinated the project to ensure minimal disruption to trail users and residents in the area. The construction work was timed to minimize disruption to the rail line and trail users, with the majority of the work taking place at night. Most of the flat work (grade crossing modifications) has been completed. The current work is mostly focused on communications and signals, which is not visible to the casual observer. This includes work on the signal houses and installing cables through the conduit that was undergrounded earlier in the project. The project team tested the AWS system earlier this week. The AWS system has been installed and tested as per the
contract and as required by the grant though the system will not be utilized at this time in lieu of train horns at the at-grade pedestrian crossings due to a November 2013 State Supreme Court ruling. The City is currently evaluating options, including seeking legislative changes to quiet the train horns.
The construction trailers and restrooms will be removed from the North Beach parking lot once the project is completed in early to mid-March. The City appreciates the public’s cooperation during construction of the project, which will further improve safety for citizens at the crossings along the trail.

Metrolink Initiates Demonstration of Life Saving Positive Train Control In Commuter Service
Metrolink becomes first commuter rail system to implement I-ETMS® interoperable predictive collision-avoidance technology Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congressman Adam Schiff today joined other dignitaries at Los Angeles Union Station as Metrolink launched Positive Train Control (PTC) in revenue service demonstration (RSD) under the authority of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad. Other dignitaries in attendance included California State Transportation Agency Deputy Secretary Chad Edison, California High Speed Rail Authority CEO Jeff Morales, Metrolink Board Chair Pat Morris and former Metrolink Board Chair Richard Katz, along with representatives from the Federal Rail Administration (FRA) and the BNSF Railway. “I have spent my entire life around the rail, but this is unequivocally the most instrumental piece of technology ever implemented for train safety,” said Morris, who worked his way through Stanford Law School at the ATSF Railway. “PTC will undoubtedly make Metrolink the safest commuter rail system in the country; the invaluable partnership between Metrolink and the BNSF has made today a reality.” PTC is one of the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) top ten most wanted transportation safety improvements. It involves a Page 6
GPS-based technology capable of preventing train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, unauthorized incursion into work zones and train movement through switches left in the wrong position. PTC monitors and, if necessary, controls train movement in the event of human error. PTC may also bring trains to a safe stop in the event of a natural disaster. Metrolink now has the ability to implement PTC on specific trains. The FRA has authorized Metrolink to operate PTC RSD on BNSF territory using Wabtec’s Interoperable Electronic Train Management System (I-ETMS)®. Wabtec’s I-ETMS® PTC System was selected by the four Class One freight railroads and by Amtrak outside of the northeast corridor as well as Metra and Coaster. Metrolink’s PTC service on BNSF track will be implemented on select trains on the Metrolink 91 Line (between Riverside-Downtown and just east of LA Union Station), Orange County Line (between Fullerton and just east of LA Union Station) and Inland Empire-Orange County Line (between San Bernardino and just east of Anaheim Canyon). PTC capability on Metrolink territory is expected to be available later this year, while the entire service area is anticipated to be complete well before the Rail Safety Improvement Act (RSIA) mandate of December 2015. Today, Metrolink operated PTC
The San Clemente News
RSD on Orange County Line train 686, while the first revenue service train to offer the advanced technology was 91 Line train 700 on Monday morning. Metrolink will implement additional trains into PTC RSD in the coming weeks and months. As part of its 512-mile system, Metrolink also operates on track owned and dispatched by the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and the North County Transportation District (NCTD). Metrolink, BNSF, UP and NCTD, along with Amtrak trains, will all have to install and implement an interoperable system for PTC to be complete in the region. The RSIA became law in 2008 after a contractor engineer operating a Metrolink train failed to stop at a red signal just north of the Metrolink Chatsworth Station. This action led to a head-on collision with a freight train resulting in 25 passenger deaths and more than 130 injuries. “Commuters across the country deserve the safest trains and routes possible, and the adoption of Positive Train Control (PTC) by Metrolink will make Los Angeles one of the first in the nation to adopt this lifesaving technology,” said Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank), sponsor of the Rail Collision Prevention Act, which required implementation of Positive Train Control on passenger trains. “With human errors accounting for forty percent of all rail accidents,
PTC will save lives and the rest of the country needs to adopt these systems as soon as possible.” The estimated cost for developing, installing and deploying PTC on the Metrolink system including the expansion of the communication network to support the PTC System is $216.3 million. Metrolink secured full funding from local, state and federal sources with the funding split at 50%, 42%, 9% respectively. Nearly 30 grants were secured. Metrolink’s PTC program calls for installing a back-office system (BOS), replacing the current computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system, installing on-board PTC equipment on 57 cab cars and 52 locomotives, installing systems to stop a train at 476 wayside signals, and implementing a sixcounty specialized communication network to link the wayside signals, trains and a new 24,000 square foot security enhanced building to house the command and control equipment and personnel to dispatch the railroad at all times. The Metrolink Operations Center (MOC) is the dispatching hub for rail providers in Southern California, including other passenger and freight carriers, making it one of the nation’s busiest and most complex rail networks.

International Art Exhibition Bridges Centuries and Continents with Realist Paintings
Realism without Borders: Russian Academy meets Russian Impressionism at LCAD ON FOREST LAGUNA BEACH, CA. What started out as a group of artists and professors who shared a strong common vision for art, has now become a successful international traveling exhibition of museum quality works: Realism without Borders: Russian Academy meets Russian Impressionism. Exhibiting side by side, paintings by Soviet and contemporary Russian, American, Ukrainian, French and German artists, Realism Without Borders (RWB) aims to connect two centuries and two continents via the commitment to realist painting traditions. This show features artists who have emerged from the well-founded tradition of the Russian Academy. The featured artists hold true to the Peredvizhniki (Itinerants) tradition of making Russian art accessible to the people through traveling exhibitions. These works depict natural settings, intimate portraits, light palettes and open brushstrokes reminiscent of the French Impressionists. Founded by Akhmed Salakhly of Repinart, and artists Antonin Passemard and Vanessa Rothe, the group has grown to 25 core artist

members. “We share an admiration of realist art, especially Russian works, because they were the only ones to keep up the realist tradition while the rest of the world was embracing modernism “ says Akhmed Salakhly group curator. This diverse and talented group of painters from all over the world have had impressive traditional training from such schools as the reknown St. Petersberg Academy of Arts, (Repin Institute), Penza Art Institute, the Kharkov Art Institute, and the Beaux Art school of Auxerre, France. They have shown in top exhibitions worldwide from St Petersberg, to Paris, to Los Angeles and have impressive résumés as well as strong bodies of work ranging from classical academy works to painterly impressionist pieces. The group is honored to now include Famed Author of Soviet Impressionism, Vern Grosvenor Swanson who joins RWB with his vast knowledge of the works and historical aspects of their creation. A former Director of the Springville Musuem of Art, Mr. Swanson will give a lecture on the importance of the works and put the contemporary works into perspective of the art world today. The lecture will be at Laguna

Big Brothers Big Sisters of OC “Jazzes Up” Mardi Gras and Raises $110,000 Photos by: Fotograafe Studio More than 350 members of Orange County’s professional community put their casino gaming skills to the test and helped to raise $110,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County during the 13th Annual Mardi Gras Party, at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen located in Downtown Disney in Anaheim. An event directly benefiting Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County’s youth mentorship programs, the Mardi Gras-inspired event offered a full evening of live music, authentic Cajun Cuisine, casino gaming and opportunity drawings. A nonprofit organization that helps youth to realize their potential and build their futures, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County provides over 2,000 children facing adversity with professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships to change their lives for the better. “We are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support we received from business leaders and community supporters during the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County Mardi Gras Party,” says Melissa Beck, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County. “In addition to the incredible generosity of event attendees, we were also thrilled to recruit 10 dynamic and motivated volunteer “Bigs” for local youth in need of a mentor.” Guests were treated to Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen signature appetizers including Blackened Filet Mignon on Crostini with Caramelized Onions and Horseradish aioli, Sweet tomato and basil bruschetta with mozzarella, Coconut Crusted Shrimp with Pepper Jelly Sauce, Mushroom & Goat Cheese Tartlets and Pulled Pork Sliders. VIP’s were privy to Mini Crab Cakes with Ravigote Sauce, Lamb Lollipops and Spicy boiled Shrimp with Creole Cocktail Sauce. On tap for all was also Jambalaya and Begnets and for a little fun, a cotton candy machine! An opportunity drawing presented prizes such as a Viva Las Vegas package including credit towards hotel, airfare, Vegas poker chips and more (valued at $2,500), a Designer Experience package including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Gucci and other designer grabs (valued at $2,500), and the chance to win one of five $1,000 gift cards. American roots-driven rock and roll band “Rumble King” shook up the evening with bringing high-energy, vibrant tunes reminiscent to early styles of American music as guests played poker, blackjack, craps and roulette. Supporters in attendance included Auction.com Chairman Rob Friedman; Wohl Investment Company President Peter Desforges; Eagle Four Partners Principal and International Bay Clubs LLC CEO Todd Pickup; Disneyland Resort Vice President of Communications John Nicoletti; Allergan, Inc. Senior Corporate Counsel Tim Andrews; Squar Milner Chief Financial and Administrative Officer Scharrell Jackson; Performance Research Laboratories, Inc. CEO Dr. Edward Lieskovan; New American Funding President Patty Arvielo; A. Gary Anderson Foundation CEO Erin Lastinger; and Walt Disney Company Senior Manager of Corporate Alliances Larry Lenihan. The Mardi Gras Party was made possible by generous sponsors Albert J. Crosson Family Foundation, Merrill Lynch, Merrill Edge, Plaza Bank, Towers Watson, Balboa Bay Club, Balboa Bay Resort, Susan and Jeff Hamar, Disneyland Resort, CareerBeam, Metro Estates, Orange County Business Journal, Squar Milner, Cox Communications, Aon, Mercer, ICU Medical, Inc., Littler, Apriem Advisors, SA Recycling, CommerceWest Bank, Fidelity Investments, Universal Protection Service, Kaufman Hunt, Cornerstone Relocation Group and Tarantino Landscape, Inc. For more than 100 years, Big Brothers Big Sisters has operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life. Most children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters live in single-parent and low-income families, or households where a parent is incarcerated. As the nation’s largest donor and volunteer supported mentoring network, Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”). Providing a system of ongoing evaluation and support, Big Brothers Big Sisters is proven by independent studies to help families by improving the odds that “Littles” will perform better in school and avoid violence and illegal activities, and have stronger relationships with their parents and others. In 2013, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Orange County served over 2,200 children. For more information, visit http://www.bigbrooc.org/. Page 12

New Home Decorating Trends Add Wow Factor Whether you like nesting at home or throwing big parties, you want your house to look its best and make everybody comfortable. This season’s decorating trends allow you to use your home as a blank canvas for self-expression, creating an atmosphere you and your guests will enjoy. Unexpected Twists Many homeowners are opting to use traditional home furnishings in unexpected ways. For instance, furniture is being incorporated in the bathroom. With the popularity of bowl sinks, homeowners are embracing vanities resembling tables and dressers. If you go this route, think realistically. The old dresser at the antique store is eye-catching, but if you’re looking to hide a plumbing system within it, make sure there’s enough space inside. Lighting, too, is being used in new ways. For its part, the chandelier need not be limited to dining rooms and foyers. Designers are bringing the fixture into bathrooms, bedrooms and even closets. Live Green Green has become ingrained in
our lives, and eco-friendly options abound for home decor. But savvy homeowners don’t just want to protect the environment; they want to look good doing it, and it’s a triple bonus if they can save money. “Growing in popularity are stylish LED lighting products that use 70 percent less electricity than traditional incandescent lighting and offer longterm energy and cost savings,” says Jeff Dross, senior product manager at Kichler Lighting, which offers a variety of ultra-efficient LED solutions. “Homeowners don’t just want energy savings, however. They want style and flexibility so they can light their spaces their way. We kept this in mind when designing our new Design Pro LED linear lighting, which features a string of light ‘pods’ that bend around corners and tight spots to light cabinets, toe kicks, tray ceilings and more,” he adds. Wallpaper is Back Unlike grandma’s floral schemes and duck-patterned bathrooms, today’s wallpapers integrate modern textures and textures. Don’t be afraid to go bold, but make sure other elements in the room, such as lighting fixtures and furniture patterns, are

Sea-inspired hues are the colors of the year. While some are designing complete rooms against this scheme, others are implementing the trend through accents, from throw pillows to candles to table lamps. Kichler Lighting, for instance, recently introduced several flirty table lamps centered on sea-inspired palates, including Blue Casade, a collection of lamps combining glossy blue hues in a soft, wispy pattern. Remember, when updating your home, decorating is about expressing yourself and incorporating your own personal style.

more subtle. Chic Casual Today’s homeowners want relaxing spaces without compromising style and sophistication. Materials that were once deemed formal, such as crystal, are finding new life in casual applications. Even traditional Tiffany lighting fixtures are trending casual with art glass applications integrating softer hues in relaxed designs. On the countertop front, quartz stone is gaining in popularity, incorporating innovative colors and patterns. Some even bind crushed glass within the solid, smooth surfaces. Embrace Blue

PACIFIC SYMPHONY ANNOUNCES 2014-15 HAL AND JEANETTE SEGERSTROM FAMILY FOUNDATION CLASSICAL SERIES
Pacific Symphony announces what is perhaps its most significant season to date for the 36-yearold orchestra—the 2014-15 Hal and Jeanette Segerstrom Family Foundation Classical Series and special events, celebrating Music Director Carl St.Clair’s 25 years at the helm. Filled with giant stars and giants of the repertoire that have moved listeners for centuries, the season is pure St.Clair—embracing and celebrating all that great music can mean to the human heart. This milestone anniversary season has been carefully handcrafted by the maestro, steeped in music with deep meaning for him, as he is surrounded by friends who also happen to be some of the classical music world’s biggest luminaries: Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Bell, to name just three. The biggest season ever— it includes more special guests, stellar 21st-century composers and some of St.Clair’s greatest mentors and dearest friends. While the theme of the season, “celebrating St.Clair’s 25 years on a journey of illumination,” reflects the maestro’s quarter of a century at the helm of the orchestra—bringing light, understanding and appreciation to music throughout his tenure—it also envisions the future. Page 14
The season is rich with inventive and forward-thinking projects. Among the many highlights that are undeniably part of St.Clair’s legacy— the Symphony, for the fifth year in a row, offers three new innovative Music Unwound programs, designed to contextualize and enhance the musical experience: “Cathedrals of Sound,” “For the Love of Bernstein” and “Fire & Water.” The highly popular opera and vocal initiative that began three seasons ago—“Symphonic Voices”—continues with Bizet’s “Carmen,” and special attention is given to the Symphony’s relationship with the Pacific Chorale and the Southern California Children’s Chorus. Additionally, the critically acclaimed American Composers Festival enters its 14th year by focusing on one of today’s most iconic musician-composers: André Previn. Other contemporary composers playing a role in the season include Christopher Rouse, James Newton Howard, Laura Karpman and Narong Prangcharoen. “I don’t need to be celebrated,” insists St.Clair. “I want to know that the values I possess and, in turn, the Symphony’s core values are being celebrated, and that the orchestra’s future is secured. For me, it’s a time to pay homage to our community,
The San Clemente News
a chance to say thank you to our patrons. “The Pacific Symphony musicians and the role they have played in the success of orchestra are the true heroes of our story. It is our partnership that is the real legacy of the past 25 years. I also want to express my gratitude to our board of directors for their unwavering support. The backbone of the Symphony is the subscribers, ticket buyers and donors, who make our work possible. The greatest gift to me on this occasion is for many new patrons to subscribe to the classical season.” “The board of directors is proud to share Carl’s vision of musical excellence and innovation,” says Pacific Symphony Board Chair Michael Kerr. “We are stepping forward to invest and support his ambitious programming that enriches our community in countless ways.” Pacific Symphony President John Forsyte adds, “It is no surprise that so many illustrious figures in the classical music world are coming to celebrate. This is a nationally significant milestone. Few music directors achieve such longevity with an institution, and Carl can be credited with putting Pacific Symphony on the map. With his bold vision for community education, thematic
programs, new commissions, and collaborations, Pacific Symphony has been regularly cited for its contributions to the orchestral landscape. This announcement is just the start. During the coming months other initiatives to expand service to Orange County and the region will be unveiled. Personally, I am proud to have collaborated with such a wonderful man for the last fifteen years.” For more information or to purchase season tickets for 12 classical concerts: $270-$990; for 14 concerts—including Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman: $360-$1,340 ($2,350, Box Circle); and for four Sunday Casual Connections, $85$325; call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.

America’s Unquenchable Thirst for Wine and Exploration HAPPY GRAPES
By David White “The wine world is a big, fabulously diverse place, and arguably the greatest pleasure that oenophilia offers is the pleasure of discovery -- of finding new grapes, regions, and wines.” These words appear in The Wine Savant, a new book from Michael Steinberger, the former wine writer for Slate and a current columnist for Men’s Journal. He’s right. The pleasure of discovery is what drives wine enthusiasts. Those of us who obsess over wine aren’t just looking for something tasty; we’re looking for an experience. This concept is firmly taking root in America’s wine culture. And it belies the notion that Americans are intimidated by wine. Books with titles like “Wine For Dummies” and “Great Wine Made
Simple” line bookstore shelves. The media perpetuates this assumption, eagerly reporting on every study that “proves” oenophiles are full of baloney. But the numbers tell a different story. New data from the Wine Market Council, an independent, nonprofit trade group, show that Americans are increasingly comfortable with wine. And we’re thirstier than ever before. Last year, the nation consumed 297 million cases of wine, a 27-percent increase from just ten years ago. From the upscale wine bar to their local 7-11, consumers can now purchase wine from more than 522,000 different outlets. Across consumer goods with more than $1 billion in annual sales, only wine, coffee, and snacks have experienced consistent growth over each of last five years, in both dollars and volume. For more evidence of America’s wine confidence, look no further than your closest grocery store. Thirty years ago, the local market sold little more than jug wine like Gallo’s Hearty Burgundy -- if wine was even stocked. Today, the average upscale supermarket carries 1,500 wine selections or more. The number of breakfast cereals pales in comparison. Specialty wine shops also illustrate how the wine market is changing. Across the country, boutique retailers
are filling their shelves with interesting, small-production wines -- and helping consumers learn. More and more wine bars are also sprouting up, providing opportunities for people to explore. High-end restaurants have responded to the nation’s selfconfident wine culture by changing their approach entirely. Whereas sommeliers were once glorified sales agents who intimidated guests by pushing expensive, predictable wines, today’s sommeliers are wine educators, eager to share their passion and palates. This list could go on. The nation has clearly embraced wine. The United States is still a nation of beer drinkers, of course. Of every dollar spent on alcohol, $0.49 goes toward beer. But wine is catching up. In 2002, six in ten alcoholic beverages consumed were beers. Today, it’s one in two. Unsurprisingly, a recent Gallup survey found that Americans are equally divided between beer and wine when asked which they drink most often. Even though Baby Boomers spend the most money on wine, millennials are driving the market. This generation of consumers -- those between 20 and 37 -- already makes up 30 percent of drinkers. And its participation is having a profound
impact, as millennials take great pleasure in discovery. In fact, the Nielsen survey asked consumers to react to the following statement: “I love to keep ahead of what’s happening. I love trying new things. I often tell others about them.” And more than any other generation, millennials agreed. It’s no wonder that millennials “frequently” purchase wine over $20 per bottle and are more willing than Boomers to purchase imported wine. Today’s wine drinkers are an adventurous bunch, confident in their own palates and willing to explore the unknown. As the purchasing power of millennials increases, more and more Americans will pursue the pleasure of discovery.
Three tips to extend the life of your smartphone
We sit on our smartphones, toss them into a purse and sometimes, quite accidentally, douse them in the toilet. And that doesn’t include what grimy-fingered kids do to smartphones as they play games. Generally, we are not very nice to the technology that has become central to our lifestyles. “Most smartphones are pretty durable, but they are not tanks,” says Iza Perez, a product marketing manager for Sony Mobile. “Smartphone damage is typically user-inflicted but they can be usercorrected just as easily.” Here are three tips she recommends to reduce wear-andtear on smartphones to extend their life: 1. Water salvage Let’s be honest: 75 percent of us use our smartphone in the restroom, according to marketing firm 11Mark. And software-maker Plaxo found that nearly one in five people drop their phones in the toilet. Hey, it happens. So what do you do if you’re one of those unfortunate souls that wets their phone? (Don’t forget rain storms and swimming pools.) First and most obvious: Dry it immediately
with a soft, absorbent cloth. Second, remove the battery and place the damp phone and battery separately into an uncooked bag of rice to absorb the moisture. Don’t be in a rush to put it back together. And if that doesn’t work, well, you’ll likely need a new phone. Fortunately, many case makers and smartphone makers are introducing water-resistant features to help minimize water damage. The Sony Xperia Z, for example, can stay submerged in 3 feet of water for 30 minutes, which should be plenty of time for a long bathroom break. 2. Keep it clean Smartphones are germ magnets because they are constantly touched with unwashed hands. Did you know that the average smartphone user checks their device 110 times a day?That’s according to a 2013 study by Locket, an app maker, who checked how often its 150,000 users activated their phones by swiping the screen or tapping a home button. To reduce germs from clinging to your phone they can live up to 48 hours, by the way - regularly clean your phone with microfiber cloth and a spritz of sanitizing screen-cleaning solution. Likewise, you can remove dirt and
grime build up in crevices with a microfiber cloth or a cotton swap and a touch of solution. If you have a case, remove it every once and a while to thoroughly clean that as well. 3. Battery preservation Aside from the cool touchscreen, the battery is a smartphone’s lifeblood. There are a few simple things you can do to extend battery life on a daily basis that will help reduce the number of times a recharge is needed. Dimming screen brightness and reducing the number
of alerts you receive - particularly those that vibrate - will save a lot of juice. Closing apps when finished is also a plus, particularly those that use location features. Apps running in the background doing nothing still suck battery life.- Also, check your settings menu for battery saving features. Most phone makers now include software to automatically adjust usage - but not close opened apps. When shopping for a new phone, consider one with advanced battery-saving features.

Top 10 home decor trend s for 2014
Renew. Rejuvenate. Reinvigorate. The same objectives people have when making their personal New Year’s resolutions can be just as easily be applied to their homes. There’s no better time to give a home a fresh look, whether it’s incorporating a new color palette, adding accessories, repurposing furniture or putting something interesting up on the walls. A kaleidoscope of color Residential interior designer Gary McBournie recommends happy hues such as turquoise for a kitchen, chartreuse for a dining room and coral for a bedroom. Roger Hazard, a Sharon Springs, NY designer who starred in the Emmy-nominated “Sell This House,” agrees that color palettes will embrace a variety of bold, punchy accent colors but also notes a seismic shift in neutrals from the “brown fatigue” of browns and beiges to bright gallery whites and truly neutral grays. Purples can be paired with accents of copper and well-worn leather in a masculine den; layered with gold, gray and white for an elegant bedroom; or highlighted against subway tile and chrome fixtures for a statement master bathroom. Every wall has a story Todd Imholte, president of Murals Your Way, predicts that wall murals will be even more popular next year as more homeowners and business owners embrace this unique, distinctive way to transform any room. Simple to install and remove, Murals Your Way’s more than 750,000 images, along with the ability to create a personal mural from a photograph, make wall murals an attractive and affordable design trend. It’s only natural Miami-based ASID and IIDA award-winning interior and furniture designer Bea Pila sees natural elements increasingly created into Page 18
luxurious furnishings. Look for lamps embellished with geodes and natural gems, feather-adorned pillows and sharkskin as a rich table finish. Stone and stone veneers make for an interesting organic interior wall covering, says Debbie Wiener of My Designing Solutions, as do sticks gathered in groups as triptychs or propped up against the wall. Lighten up Lighting can make a key difference in a home by setting the atmosphere of a room or helping showcase decor elements. LED bulbs deliver the same warm glow as traditional incandescents but use 84 percent less energy and last up to 20 years, according to Maxwell Ryan, founder and CEO of Apartment Therapy. Interior design expert and InStyleModern.com executive Maria Samuels suggests multi-tiered chandeliers and other ornamental fixtures using LED lights to give a modern twist instead of traditional artificial illumination. The furniture forecast Pila notes that 60s-inspired acrylic furnishings can be timeless when designed into a classic silhouette, with the pureness of the acrylic’s clearness creating a striking effect. Washington, DC designer Darlene Molnar predicts that velvet sofas will be a top trend in 2014, with jewel colors or gray bringing a soft elegance to rooms after years of sharp clean lines. And furniture designer Clint Parker notes that Earth-friendly, sustainable eco-furniture is gaining steam, with new composites and fabrics such as hemp and sorghum making the concept more accessible. Accessorize the positive Anything goes in the world of accessories. Pila notes an African influence in lamps made of horn and Kuba cloths fashioned into pillows, rugs and blankets, while Ian Kennedy
The San Clemente News
of Ruby + George touts Native American-inspired artwork, rugs and antlers passed down from generation to generation. Wiener suggests gasfired home “fire walls” under a wallmounted big-screen television that can serve as a source of warmth and an art focal piece. The simple life Internationally recognized artist and award-winning Austin designer Pablo Solomon sees a continuation of uncluttered, simple, practical, multifunctional and renewable designs. He recommends adopting the mantra “less is more” to focus on quality, not quantity, when it comes to art, rugs and furnishings. Tie interior design with outside landscape views to evoke a feeling of openness and flow from the inside out. What’s old is new again Los Angeles-based Linda Brettler, AIA, suggests finding creative ways
to repurpose, recycle and reuse by relocating pieces from other rooms in the house or seeking out older, better-made items from architectural salvage sites. Salvaged or antique tiles can give an authentic patina to a historic home, and Brettler recommends mixing tile and stone so the look isn’t so intense. Finding your comfort zone According to Elissa Morgante, principal at Morgante Wilson Architects in Chicago, people are moving toward much more casual and interactive living.-This translates into making all rooms in the home inviting and multifunctional, to foster togetherness in comfortable spaces that will actually be used. Hazard adds that practicality and individuality will dominate next year, with upholstery expected to bring presence and sophistication while still delivering all-day comfort.
