Mrs.California America Pageant Finalists at Del Mar Racetrack Written by Ilene Schneider Photos by William Casper From the time the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club opened in 1937 with owner Bing Crosby there to greet the first fan, its spectacular views, balmy climate and warm ambiance have made it a destination for celebrities, equine aficionados and anyone else seeking elegant entertainment. Located in Del Mar, California, on the 340-acre Del Mar Fairgrounds 20 miles north of San Diego, 100 miles south of Los Angeles and “just a good chip shot from the Pacific Ocean,” it is easily accessible from anywhere in southern California. The venue is the home to horse racing, concerts, beauty pageants, fine dining and more. Del Mar leads U.S. race tracks in attendance and continues to set records. When fans and owners gather in the paddock where the horses are saddled and paraded, they savor the elegance of a bygone era and the excitement of the competition. They can enjoy the fast-paced races and spend leisurely hours at the many restaurants at Del Mar. Steeped in history, Del Mar has attracted many famous jockeys – Bill Shoemaker, Johnny Longden, Laffit Pincay, Jr. Many successful trainers Charles Wittingham, Farrell Jones, Robert Frankel and Bob Baffert have made it their home base as well. Del Mar has also been the vacation spot or getaway for many Hollywood legends, such as Dorothy Lamour, W. C. Fields, Paulette Goddard, Edgar
Bergen, June Haver, Ann Miller, Don Ameche, Ava Gardner, Red Skelton, Pat O’Brien, Robert Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck, Jimmy Durante, Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball. More recent sightings include entertainers Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza, actress Phoebe Price, former Miss California Carrie Prejean and ABC’s The Bachelorettes. Del Mar continues to attract the Mrs. California - America pageant annually. The winner will go on to the Mrs. America pageant in Las Vegas. There are concerts on the Seaside Stage every Friday night through September 4. The focus is on fun in an ideal environment. This year the track protects the horses too as Del Mar goes in a backto-the-future direction being taken by many racetracks around the country. While the Polytrack synthetic racing surface that had been at Del Mar for eight years led to fewer complete breakdowns, some horsemen said it sometimes resulted in soft-tissue and hind-end injuries and other problems. The Polytrack state-mandated synthetic racing surface was removed in favor of El Segundo sand, a soil found in the area around Los Angeles airport which also has been installed at Santa Anita racetrack. For five months during the winter, construction crews reconverted the one-mile oval and its two chutes back to the same kind of dirt the horses at Del Mar raced on from 1937 to 2006. Del Mar has two racing seasons (July 16 through September 7 and

Break These Rules for Better Summer Grilling It seems like there are rules for just about everything, even grilling. According to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association, 80 percent of Americans have an outdoor barbecue, grill or smoker which means there are a lot of people following a lot of rules. Summer is in full swing, so now is the perfect time to throw caution to the wind and break some long-standing grilling adages. Doing so will help you get the most out of your grilling and more importantly, enjoy your food. Russ Faulk, author of the cookbook “Cook: Out” and grill master for Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet, and Meathead Goldwyn, of Amazingribs. com, offer four grilling rules you can break with alternative methods. Only flip once While many avid grillers stick by the “only flip once” rule, Faulk advises grillers to flip as often as they want. “Especially with steaks and chops turning more frequently can lead to more even cooking. You’ll also create an all-over browning effect rather than a simple set of grill marks. You can build up a very flavorful crust,” he says. Just don’t flip too early. Be sure to wait for the food to release itself from the grill grate. Oil the grill grates To prevent food from sticking, many opt for the rule of spreading oil right on the grill grates. However, this can be ineffective particularly with high-power grills that reach soaring temperatures. Instead, as Goldwyn recommends, brush oil on your food, not the grates. He explains that when the food is placed on the grill, the oil will penetrate the small crevasses in both the food and the grates, creating a smooth and slippery surface that will
help to prevent sticking. Load up the grill It may be tempting and seemingly efficient to put as much food on the grill as possible at a big cookout with lots of people. “Keep at least 25-30 percent of open space on the grill with no fire below it,” said Faulk. This space can be used to move food when the action heats up, which he calls the “safety zone.” Grill the food above the fire Break this rule all you want. By mixing direct and indirect grilling you’ll get more flavorful food. Try out your new rule-breaking skills with this recipe from Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. For more recipes, visit www.kalamazoogourmet.com. Blueberry Pork Chops Servings: 4 4 pork loin chops, preferably bone-in, about 1 1/2 inches thick Extra virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon smoked salt, plus salt for the chops 1 pint blueberries 1/2 cup maple syrup 6 ounces pancetta, cooked crisp and broken up Preheat grill for combination direct and indirect cooking. The indirect zone should be around 500°F. While grill is heating, lightly brush chops on all sides with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Leave chops sitting at room temperature while grill is getting ready, up to 20 minutes. Wash blueberries and measure out other ingredients. Grill pork chops over direct heat about 2 minutes per side and transfer to indirect cooking zone. Close grill and cook chops about 20 minutes,
turning once halfway through, until instant-read meat thermometer measures 155°F when inserted away from bone. Once chops are moved to indirect zone, combine maple syrup, blueberries and smoked salt in large saucepan (although ingredients would easily fit in smaller pan, broader bottom should help reduce sauce more quickly) and bring a strong simmer over medium heat. Stir sauce frequently and avoid a rapid boil. If bubbles begin to build on top of bubbles, lower heat to avoid burning sauce. When cooked to 155°F internal temperature, remove chops from grill and transfer to plates. Let chops rest 3 to 5 minutes. Stir cooked pancetta into blueberry sauce. Top chops with sauce and serve.

DIY tips to check windows and doors and save on utility costs year-round With temperatures dropping, now is a good time to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Drafty windows and doors can dramatically increase heating and cooling costs. That’s why it’s important to perform a walk-around now, to verify that your windows are in working order, or if they need replacing. The typical American household spends $2,200 a year on energy bills, with nearly half spent on heating and cooling costs, according to ENERGY STAR. Updating your home with more energy-efficient window options like Pella’s 350 Series vinyl windows and patio doors can help protect your home from cold weather and save on costly repairs down the road. “Completing an annual home walkaround is a great way to check for potential maintenance needs and home improvements,” says Kathy Krafka Harkema, spokesperson for Pella Windows and Doors. “Look for leaks, feel for drafts, and replace or repair worn or broken items to help avoid more costly damage.” How to inspect windows and doors * Inspect interior and exterior finishes and the space around them. Is the paint or stain in good condition? Signs of flaking and peeling, or water stains may mean
that it’s time to refinish or replace the window or door. * Check windowsills and door tracks for dirt and debris, like sand, leaves, insects or pine needles that could hamper the operation and performance of windows and doors. Remove debris by gently sweeping out the area with a soft, dry brush and vacuuming. * Check weather stripping around windows and doors, reattaching or replacing loose or torn pieces. * Feel for uneven sliding and sticking when you open or close a window. Use a non-oily lubricant, like paraffin wax, on the opposing surfaces to help reduce sticking. * Replace broken or inoperable windows and doors with safer, more energy-efficient ones. Those that do not open and close easily could be a safety risk, especially in the event of a fire. Here are 10 signs it’s time to replace your windows or doors * Overall poor performance: Windows or doors are difficult to open or close and air leaks in, out or around them. * Fogging: Condensation or fogging occurs between panes of glass. * Chipping: There’s chipping, peeling or deterioration of the finish
on or around the window or door. * Single-pane: Single-pane windows are less energy-efficient than double or triple-pane options. * Water logged: Telltale water stains remain on or around the wall or floor area surrounding window or door. * Out-of-date: Replacement parts for older windows or doors can be hard to find or non-existent. * Energy inefficient: Drafty, leaky
windows and doors can make it more costly to warm your home in the winter and cool it in the summer. * Draftiness: Drafts can be felt through the window or door when it’s closed. * Unable to open: Windows or doors are painted or nailed shut. * Won’t stay open: The window or door won’t open easily or won’t stay in place once opened.
5 health improvements you can make today that will pay off for a lifetime Improving your health and wellness can seem like a daunting task, especially if you know you have some bad health habits to break. But, several improvements you can make today can result in tremendous health benefits. It starts with you. You have more control over your health than you think you do. Here are five steps you can take today that can have a positive impact on your overall health and wellness. Stop smoking Everyone knows smoking is bad for you. In fact, people who smoke have by far the greatest risk of lung cancer -the number one cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. and increased risk of a cardiac event. But, many people don’t realize that changes in the lungs caused by smoking can actually improve over time once a smoker quits. Even if you’ve smoked for many years, you can reduce your lung cancer risks just by quitting, says Howard. And this isn’t just about your own health. Smoking puts the ones you love at risk, because even second-hand smoke can cause cancer. So, quitting is a win-win for you and those you love. People who want to quit smoking do better when they set a target date to quit. She also advises working with your primary health care provider who can actually individualize a stop-smoking plan for you. Getting support from others is a crucial part Page 6
of the battle. Increase your water intake Sixty percent of your body weight is water. Your body depends on water to carry nutrients to cells and to flush toxins out of vital organs, so getting the right amount of fluids each day is crucial. Men should drink 3 liters, or 13 cups, per day. For women, the recommendation is 2.2 liters, or 9 cups, per day. If that recommendation seems tough to follow, divide it up throughout the day. Make sure you have water with every meal and also drink water at least once between each meal. That divides up your fluid intake and can make the amount seem less daunting. You don’t have to stick to water. Milk, coffee, and other drinks that contain a lot of water and not a lot of calories count towards your daily fluid intake. Exercise Exercise reduces your risk for chronic disease, improves balance and coordination and helps with weight loss. Exercise is a key part of living a healthy life. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise, or 90 minutes of vigorous exercise a week, for adults. That sounds like a lot, but, if you break it into 15 or 20-minute daily workouts it’s much easier to fit into your schedule. You don’t have to

spend hours at a time in the gym to reap the benefits. Recent studies have shown that even short bursts of exercise can be helpful. Adopt the Mediterranean diet The Mediterranean diet is a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, nuts and fish. The results of numerous studies show long term health benefits to adopting the diet. This is a diet filled with antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. This diet has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer when adhered to long term. Weight loss and improvement in cholesterol can be seen after just a few months. Have your cholesterol checked You might be surprised to learn that you should begin having your
cholesterol monitored by a doctor at age 20. But since coronary artery disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S., it’s a recommendation you should take seriously. There is no reason to avoid having your cholesterol checked. If your cholesterol levels aren’t where they should be, you can change them. Levels that are too high can be controlled by diet, quitting smoking, exercise, and even prescription medication. There are so many things we can do to improve not only the length of our life, but the quality of those years. Don’t wait. Commit today to making a few small changes, and see how they improve your health over time.

Summer Fun for Kids Activities that foster a love of reading While it may seem easier to let kids beat the heat by spending lazy days in front of the television or tablet, parents should take advantage of the many learning opportunities the summer offers. Why is learning so critical this time of year? During the summer months, many children will lose some of the skills they obtained during the school year. Students who lose reading ability over the summer rarely catch up. In fact, research from the Annie E. Casey Foundation shows that 75 percent of students who are poor readers in third grade, a critical grade for literacy skill building, remain poor readers in high school. Improved learning, one child at a time To help children keep and develop this essential skill, Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) has joined forces with Macy’s to help keep kids laughing and learning with enriching summer activities and children’s book favorites. The key to helping children maintain and even improve their literacy skills over the summer is providing access to quality books that they can choose based on personal interests. When children have books readily available to
them, they are motivated and empowered to read, helping improve their overall success in school and life. Macy’s is helping to ensure children have access to highquality books through its Be Book Smart campaign. The store invites customers nationwide to give $3 at their local store to help provide a book for a child in need. As a thank you, customers get $10 off a purchase of $30 or more, plus 15% or 20% off storewide. 100% of the proceeds go directly to RIF to provide books and learning resources to children who need them most. Customers not only give children the opportunity to build their literacy skills, but also the opportunity to experience the magic and power of books. Inspire your reader As a parent, you can help increase your child’s reading ability. Whether it’s playing games, singing songs or taking a trip to the local library – use this time to create new experiences together. Adopt some of these everyday activities to help your children thrive during the summer months: • Boost your child’s vocabulary by talking about everything
under the sun. Visit the library and check out books for the entire week. Pick one about birds or insects and go on an adventure walk to see if any live in your neighborhood. • Reading is contagious, so let your kids see you reading books, magazines and even cereal boxes. • Have books available in your child’s reach. • Play the alphabet game by finding letters starting from A-Z while in the car or on a walk. • Play easy word or rhyming games with your child. • Use sidewalk chalk to make a mural with your family. Don’t
forget to title your masterpiece. • Have a “book-nic.” Grab a blanket, snacks and books to celebrate a beautiful summer day. Help your kids retain the essential skills they learned in the classroom and plan for a season full of new adventures in reading. You can also provide books and reading adventures for kids who need them most by visiting your local Macy’s store this summer and giving $3. Visit www.macys.com/rif for more details.

Kaitlyn Van Konynenburg and Wish List Gallop to the Victory in the 2015 U.S. Junior Hunter National Championship
Wish List and Kaitlyn Van Konynenburg in the Winners Circle. Over the previous two days, when the horse show grounds are usually quiet in anticipation of the next show, the green grass of the Del Mar Horse Park Grand Prix Field was dressed in flower boxes, walls, stone rolltops and white poles, setting the stage for the 2015 U.S. Junior Hunter National Championship - West Coast. After a Classic Round on Monday, and an Under Saddle and a Handy Round on Tuesday, it was seventeen year old Kaitlyn Van Konynenburg aboard her Large Junior Hunter, Wish List, that earned the Grand Champion cooler. The honorable judging panel included Bucky Reynolds, Scott Williamson and Chris Wynne, all hailing from the East Coast. Greeted by typical weather for the ‘right’ side of the country, the air was slightly humid after a tropical storm doused Del Mar over the weekend. Joe Lombardo designed a Handy Round that included a trot jump on the hill early on, a long hand gallop to a single oxer as fence #6, followed by a rollback turn to an in-and-out at the in-gate, finishing with another rollback to a fence facing the in-gate. As can happen on Handy day, mistakes and mishaps caused changes in the rankings. Not coming into the day as the leader, a fantastic Handy round with Page 8
scores of 86, 85 and 84 took Van Konynenburg and Wish List to the top in the class, the division and the overall event with a grand total of 245.5. She has had the 12-year-old Hanoverian gelding for about a year and a half. Showing their style on the field in this prestigious event, the pair have also been successful Indoors, earning Champion at the National Horse Show last year. Of the Handy challenges, she said, “Usually I’m a little nervous with the hand gallop jump on him, but this time, it was right there and very nice. I was really surprised.” The Junior was pleased with her mount. “I had a lot of fun on him - he was really good, really solid. I’m just super happy with how consistent and smooth he was.” Starting her senior year in high school soon, Van Konynenburg is ending her summer at the Menlo Charity Horse Show in August and will head back to Indoors in the fall. Reserve Overall Champion with a total score of 244.8, less than a point off of the leader, went to Ashton Alexander riding Krave (owned by Mountain Home Stables). Riding Café de Colombia to Grand Champion honors in 2014, the East Coast Junior returned to the West Coast and came close to repeating the feat on Krave. Once again, the talented Café de

Colombia, this year ridden by Morgan Dickerson, earned the Small Collection Perpetual Trophy, Iwasaki & Reilly’s award for the highest placing mare in the Championship. Café de Colombia and Dickerson scored a grand total of 243.4.

Angels Host Readers in the Outfield for Literacy Project Foundation Chuck Finley and TLP student As a collaborative effort to promote literacy, Angels Baseball and Angels Alumni Association hosted 100 second grade students at The Literacy Project’s (TLP) 2ndannual “Readers in the Outfield” event, which was held at the Diamond Club in Angel Stadium. Over $11,000 was raised to help TLP continue to provide their proprietary 30-hour reading program at no cost to struggling readers in elementary school classrooms throughout Southern California. All of the students in attendance were given an Anaheim Angel’s hat and drawstring backpack by Master Teachers from TLP as they boarded the buses to Angel Stadium. When they arrived, they were warmly greeted with high-fives and welcoming smiles by Angels Chairman Dennis Kuhl, Angels Alumni Rod Carew, Bobby Grich, Chuck Finley, Clyde Wright, and other high profile sponsors and supporters of TLP. The second grade students were grinning from ear to ear as they were entering the venue, eager to see what the day had in store for them! The memorable afternoon began with a tasty lunch sponsored by Legends, while the students listened to inspirational stories from Angels Alumni about the importance of reading and becoming literate adults. Rod Carew stated, “Education is power. It will allow you to be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do.” The alumni stories motivated TLP’s students to focus on becoming better readers, so they can achieve their personal dreams one day. After lunch, the kids quickly cleaned up to play the literacy board game that had helped them raise their reading scores from far below basic to class average in English proficiency. It was an incredible and heart-warming scene to be able to see these kids show off what they have learned from this program in front of high profile executives and Alumni baseball players in attendance. Bobby Grich former second baseman stated, “It was one of the best charity, kid, goodwill functions I’ve been a part of in my 13 years as one of the Angels Alumni Ambassadors.” As the day came to a close, the best was yet to come. Each student received four tickets to an upcoming game, which was generously donated by Angels Baseball. As one student picked up his backpack, he shouted, “This is the best day ever! I feel so lucky!” The Literacy Project’s offers a comprehensive instructional program that improves both academic and attitudinal levels of students performing well below English proficiency standards. The academic segment utilizes The New Phonics Game™, a proprietary reading product which was co-developed by The Regents of the University of California. Aligned with Common Core and collaborative learning methods, TLP conducts a 30 one-hour session with up to six students in five one-hour sessions per week during each six-week program cycle. The program is administered by TLP’s Master Teachers who are highly credentialed as reading and language arts specialists. The program is provided at no cost to both the school and at-risk students in the second grade. The program teaches the fundamental principles of phonics and literacy in all three learning modalities auditory, visual and tactile—critical to children with varying learning styles.

TREKKIES ALERT! PACIFIC SYMPHONY REVIVES 2009 HIT MOVIE, “STAR TREK” Pacific Symphony’s 2015 Summer Festival propels its audience across the universe, when it embarks on a thrilling and music-fueled adventure aboard the USS Enterprise for “Star Trek.” On the big screen boldly going where “no man has gone before” is J.J. Abrams’ 2009 blockbuster film starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto as a young Captain Kirk and Spock in an alternate reality many years before the original television series. On stage, the Symphony performs Academy Award-winner Michael Giacchino’s epic score live, beneath the stars, providing the ideal backdrop for the intergalactic film. It’s an immersive concert experience and the perfect evening for music lovers, film-goers, science-fiction fans and anyone who loves the cult films and television series or wants to introduce them to someone new. Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman leads the orchestra in this symphonic night at the movies, which takes place on Saturday, Aug. 22, at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre ( f o r m e r l y Ve r i z o n W i r e l e s s Amphitheater). The film begins at 8
p.m. and guests are encouraged to pack a picnic and arrive at the venue as early as 6 p.m., dressed in their best “Star Trek” gear. Concert tickets range from $25 (lawn seating) to $107 (orchestra). For more information or to purchase tickets, call (714) 7555799 or visit www.PacificSymphony. org. Abrams selected Giacchino to compose the scores for “Star Trek” and “Star Trek Into Darkness” (2013) after years working with him on the television shows “Alias” and “LOST.” Abrams’ first interest in Giacchino’s music came from his years writing scores for video games, including “The Lost World: Jurrasic Park.” Giacchino’s credits feature some of the most popular and acclaimed film projects in recent history, including “The Incredibles,” “Ratatouille,” “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and “The Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.” Giacchino’s 2009 score for the Pixar hit “Up” earned him an Oscar, a Golden Globe, the BAFTA, the Broadcast Film Critics’ Choice Award and two Grammy Awards. This summer, Giacchino has three major films in theaters: Disney’s
“Tomorrowland,” Pixar’s “Inside Out” and Universal’s “Jurassic World.” “What an honor it is for me to be a part of the ‘Star Trek’ legacy,” says Giacchino. “I was a huge fan of the series when I was a kid. For this opportunity, I must thank my friend and collaborator, J.J. Abrams, who made these films incredibly fun to work on. J.J.’s inspired new vision of the ‘Star Trek’ saga brought me immediately back to my childhood, as if I were watching Gene Roddenberry’s brilliant creation for the first time on television. J.J. and I are among the lucky few who get to hear the world’s most talented musicians bring a score like ‘Star Trek’ to life in person. But now that’s all changed. For me, the most exciting aspect of the ‘Star Trek’ film with orchestra concerts is that audiences now have an opportunity to experience the films in a way that can’t be replicated in their living rooms with a full orchestra.” The original “Star Trek” series was created by Gene Roddenberry in 1966 amid the “space race” of the Kennedy era. Not only was the talented TV writer deeply inspired by the “new frontier,” but he also made
sure to develop characters and plots that shared his values of humanism, inclusiveness and tolerance. The crew aboard the starship Enterprise was fueled by faith in human goodness and the joy of discovery. Despite its short run of only three seasons on NBC, the show was syndicated and from there gathered a loyal following and zealous group of fans who call themselves “Trekkies.” It spawned a wide array of cult films, cartoons, comics, novels and spin-off television shows.
Look 10 years younger with expert anti-aging tips Do you have friends or family members who seem to never age? No matter how old they get, their appearance is youthful and glowing. While genes play a role in how the body ages, they are not the only factor in aging gracefully. In fact, erasing years from your appearance is actually simpler than most people think. “When a person is young, it’s easy to have clear, translucent skin. Keeping it that way is a lifelong commitment,” says Veronica BartonSchwartz, a leading expert in skin care with more than 30 years of experience and owner of Veronica Malibu Skin and Body Care Center in Malibu, California. “Age is just a number when it comes to good skin care. My skin at 66 is better than it was at 30. I believe that all of us can age with grace and help delay the onset of age-related disease with a healthy lifestyle.” Barton-Schwartz’s clientele includes everyone from surfers who have sun-damaged skin to aging Hollywood actresses who are trying to maintain an edge in their career. She notes that repairing skin must happen from the inside out. Here are her top recommendations for maintaining that coveted youthful glow: Steer clear of skin saboteurs “Smoking and sun damage accelerate aging and put you at risk for certain cancers,” says BartonSchwartz. “Apply sunscreen faithfully. Opt for broad-spectrum formulas with
antioxidants, such as vitamin C, to offset ultraviolet light. Be sure to wear a 4-inch brim hat, UV sunglasses and UV clothing when in the mid-day sun.” Stay hydrated “I can always tell when someone isn’t drinking enough water from the condition of their skin,” says Barton-Schwartz. “Water protects cardiovascular health, keeps the brain in top working condition, facilitates weight loss and promotes detoxification. Water also transports oxygen to our cells, removes waste and protects our joints and organs.” Eat smart “What benefits the skin the most is eliminating sugar and white flour from your diet. You should also increase your consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables and lean protein, “ Barton-Schwartz says. “Then, add in an omega-3 supplement every day. Most associate omega3s with cardiovascular health, but the benefits go far beyond the heart. Omega-3s benefit brain and cognitive function, joint mobility, eye health and healthy skin and hair, too. My skin looks better and I feel better when I take my omega-3 supplements.” Exfoliate regularly “A weekly buffing of the skin gets rid of dead skin and stimulates cell turnover,” says Barton-Schwartz. “This helps your skin produce new collagen, leaving your face and body feeling smooth and refreshed. I recommend nonabrasive peels.” Break a sweat
“Exercise improves circulation, increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells and tissues, and it also reduces wrinkle-causing inflammation,” Barton-Schwartz says. Apply food-based nutrients “Research has shown that many food-based nutrients provide antiinflammatory and antioxidant activity when applied topically,” says BartonSchwartz. “Topical antioxidants work synergistically to enhance the natural health of the skin alongside a healthy diet and supplements. Our most popular antioxidant moisturizer contains ingredients like grape seed oil, orange flower, neroli, chamomile, sage, bergamot tea, avocado oil and soy.” Sleep well Barton-Schwartz notes the term
“beauty sleep” actually has some science behind it. “Certain hormones are released during specific stages of sleep. A lack of consistent sleep disrupts the normal release of those hormones, impacting every single biological process,” she says. “This leads to an increase in inflammatory substances in your blood stream that damage your skin on a cellular lever, as well as accelerate aging.” Prioritize oral health “Poor oral health is linked to everything from heart disease to rheumatoid arthritis,” BartonSchwartz says. “I work with a dentist in Malibu and when someone thinks they need a facelift, what they really need is to get their teeth fixed. Nothing is more youthful than a healthy, beautiful smile.”

Simple Meets Special for Summertime Brunch Gathering with friends and family for brunch is a fun and budget friendly entertaining alternative. To transform a brunch celebration from average to outstanding, follow some simple tips from Hollywood chef and caterer Paul McCullough. “Brunches are the entertaining solution for any occasion. They’re great for baby showers, birthdays, family reunions, weddings, or just gathering for fun. There’s something revitalizing about friends and family coming together in the late morning, enjoying great food, coffee and conversation,” says McCullough. To get started, plan the menu around one of McCullough’s simple, yet crowd-pleasing recipes: Coffee Granita: Brew two cups of double strength coffee. Pour into a bowl and stir in a quarter cup of sugar until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Mix in one-half cup half and half. Place in an 8-inch square dish and freeze two to two and a half hours. After the first hour, use a fork to scrape up the coffee crystals; scrape again at the second hour mark. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve. For an upscale presentation, serve in a martini glass and top with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Super Hero Scramble: Mix one pound sautéed spinach, one
pound browned and crumbled turkey sausage, and one-half cup julienned sundried tomatoes, then set aside. Scramble eggs until almost done but still soft. Fold the spinach mixture through; then sprinkle with eight ounces of seasoned feta. “A brunch should incorporate elements of breakfast and lunch with harmony. Contrast sweets like blueberry muffins and coffee-glazed scones with savory elements, like smoked salmon with capers and onions. Or try a scramble with new flavor combinations like chicken and asparagus or crab and avocado with a dollop of sour cream and chives,” McCullough suggests. Once you’ve decided on the menu, set the stage for a special morning with these fresh presentation ideas: * Liven up bread baskets by lining them with fresh rosemary for added color and aroma. * A cheese board makes for an attractive and functional display. Create the perfect mix of flavors with this twist on a familiar adage: Something old, something new, something smoked, something blue (e.g., aged cheddar, fresh bocconcini mozzarella, smoked Gouda and blue cheese). Water crackers and sliced baguettes will round out the presentation nicely. * Create centerpiece arrangements

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 the resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may contact Trustee’s Assistance Corporation for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit its website salestrack.tdsf.com or call 888-958-6736 for information regarding the sale of this property. 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 website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the schedule sale. The beneficiary of said Lien hereto executed and delivered to the undersigned, a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the County where the real property is located, Date: August 10, 2015 Association Lien Services, as Trustee P.O.
