WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

actually made an appointment to come in to the office.

Just a Beautiful Smile!

It truly is the top of the morning here in the farmlands, especially with St. Patrick’s Day only a day away. The fields are green, the baby corn stalks are popping through the freshly manicured fields and the sun is shining bright. Blessed by a bit of rain a few days ago, it is certainly a good start to a wonderful Spring. With that in mind, it is a great time to look in on a local business that can bring you a beautiful smile to enjoy the season.

Dr. Ricardo Busquets, Dr. Yi Chen Liu and their staff from Orthoworks Orthodontic Group make it a priority to provide you and your family with the highest quality of orthodontic care. On assignment, I gave the office a call to see just how much information I could good get on Invisalign, the new approach to straightening your teeth, especially since I have been considering this treatment for some time. I was treated so nice and

I learned that they are an Elite Preferred Provider for Invisalign which is qualified by expert treatment, years of experience, affordable pricing and utilization of the latest orthodontic technology. Each clear aligner is individually manufactured to the highest quality, designed for your teeth, and your teeth only. Invisalign is the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life, making it perfect for any lifestyle.

The really great part about Orthoworks is they care for the entire family and they provide a multitude of services other than Invisalign. Whether you are interested in whitening, braces, or orthodontic care, these doctors are worth considering, and they will discuss affordable financing during your free consultation. That scores extra with this snoop. Please go to their website at www.orthoworks.com to find out more about these doctors and the other locations throughout the entire Bay Area.

I think the part I liked best about Orthoworks is how they handled themselves with all my questions. At no time did I feel like I was just getting the

standard answer with the big push to get me in the office for the sales pitch. I know there are lots of places to choose from when considering orthodontic care for your kids and yourself, especially since it is a large commitment of time, energy and money. I guess that is why I too, have waited so long to make my decision to consider Invisalign. That being said, I must say I am finally very excited about my appointment to have the smile I have always wanted.

So, Dr. Busquets and Liu, this secret shopper gives Orthoworks and your great staff ten silver braces for being so kind and patient with me on the phone and bringing this high caliber of orthodontic care to East Contra Costa County. And to our readers, please be sure to check out the ad in this month’s Monthly Grapevine for a special offer of $300 off with free whitening Invisalign or Full Orthodontic Treatment Fee. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

There’s only one word that can possibly sum up Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas: WOW! Newly designed staterooms, gamechanging technology, groundbreaking venues and the best dining ever are just the start of what you’ll find onboard. Plus, they have enlisted celebrity experts in fields such as design, sports & fitness, entertainment and others to be part of the Quantum Experience Advisor program to work hand-in-hand to provide their expertise to help shape interior design, key amenities and activities. By taking a quantum leap forward with the second ship in Royal Caribbean’s Quantum class, they’re holding themselves up to the promise of building ships that take you to new heights.

North Star - Take yourself to new heights with the jewel-shaped capsule that gently ascends over 300 feet above sea level.

Breathtaking 360° views of the sea and our destinations make the North Star one of the most anticipated features on this ship.

Some of the newest innovations on board include: Ripcord by iFly - Introducing the first ever skydiving simulator at sea! Experience the sheer thrill and exhilaration of flying in an air machine that lets you soar in a safe, controlled

Transformative Venues - Experience completely revolutionary spaces that transform from day to night. Play basketball, go roller skating and ride bumper cars at the SeaplexSM. Relax with a book at Two70°SM and come back at night for a spectacular aerial show.

Newly Designed Staterooms - Say hello to your home on the high seas – now with more family-friendly modular staterooms that interconnect and the first virtual balconies at sea.

Some of the dining options on board include the following. There are many others as well.

The Grande - From beef Wellington to chicken a l’orange, the world’s classic dishes come together for formal night, every night. Silk - A vibrant tapestry of Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indian cooking.

We would like you to join us on board

this wonderful and fantastic vessel in September of 2016 when we sail roundtrip from New York on a fall foliage cruise for 9 days.

HEALTH

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Teething What happens when your baby is teething?

Babies usually begin teething between four to seven months of age. This process can last up to three years allowing time for a set of twenty teeth to push through the gums. Some of the signs that your baby is getting new teeth are they may find trouble falling asleep, and can become fussy. He or she may not want to eat and your baby might start to drool more than usual.

How to make your baby more comfortable? Behaviors like fussiness, sleeplessness and refusing to eat can result from sore and tender gums. Try soothing the gums by rubbing them gently with a clean finger, a moist gauze or a small cool spoon. Letting your child chew on a clean teething ring also may relieve some of the discomfort the baby is feeling. There are plenty of numbing gels available over the counter without a prescription and the Food and Drug

Administration has issued a warning about the use of numbing gels as they contain benzocaine. The FDA recommends that parents of children younger than two years not use medications that contain benzocaine, as there are reports of a rare but serious and sometimes fatal condition called methemoglobinemia, a disorder in which the amount of oxygen carried through the bloodstream is greatly reduced. The FDA also warns parents not to use medication in which has lidocaine to treat teething pain because an overdose can cause seizures, severe brain injury and problems in the heart.

Apollo Dental Care is the dental office of Dr. Sue Padavettan D.D.S. Dr. Sue has fourteen years of experience in dentistry.

Graduated from USC with outstanding achievement award for restorative dentistry and was elected member of Honor Dental Society by the Zeta Chapter and is a active member of ADA, CDA and CCDS.

As soon as the baby gets the first tooth, schedule a well-baby visit to the dentist and this allows the dentist to check for signs of tooth decay and to talk to you about habits and conditions that can affect your child’s teeth. The dentist can also show you the proper way to take care of your baby’s teeth and care for the brand new smile.

Bright Ideas Design Center In May of 1995, Mark Sargent fulfilled his dream of becoming an entrepreneur and starting his own business when he developed Bright Ideas Design Center.

Mark’s bright idea was seeing the need for shade in the backyards of homes in the surrounding areas, including Brentwood, Oakley, Antioch, Discovery Bay and Tracy. Bright Ideas is locally owned and operated, specializing in Weatherwood patio covers and patio enclosures.

Mark chose to work with Weatherwood because, unlike real wood, it never needs painting, won’t burn, get termites, crack, peel, warp or rot. Each component of every patio cover or enclosure is engineered to assemble with flawless fit and finish. Every design detail is carefully considered to enhance aesthetic appeal and the natural wood appearance. From any angle, the patio cover reflects Bright Ideas’ commitment to the highest quality craftsmanship, ensuring a high level of customer satisfaction.

The Bright Ideas Team is well qualified to provide their clients with the best customer service possible. Full-time employees, rather than sub-contractors, do all of their installation work. Bright Ideas employees are local residents.

Pam, the Office Manager, has eight years with Bright Ideas. Lead installers, Bill and Michael, have been with Bright Ideas for fourteen years. And, most recently, Mark’s son, Mason, joined the team to learn the business. Mark and his staff stand behind their work, offering complete, reliable customer service, and the best quality products available to the area.

If you are looking to create a cool and inviting haven from the sun, contact the Bright Ideas Design Center for their expert guidance. The showroom is located at 5085 Lone Tree Way in Antioch. They can be reached at 925978-1800 or visit their website at www. brightideasdesigncenter.com.

Testimonials I had my entire back yard redone, top to bottom. I knew what I thought I wanted for a patio cover. Mark at Bright Designs was recommended so I had him come see the project plans and give us a quote. He looked at the design and walked me through the process, We are so happy, it came out even better than we hoped. The price was reasonable, the quality is amazing and best of all it looks amazing.— Michelle L., Discovery Bay I highly recommend these guys! They were excellent from beginning to end.

We went in and Mark helped us choose what we wanted and worked with us on timing it so the project was done before

my daughters 1st birthday party. This company is great also because there are two installers Billy and Michael, so you know who is going to be at your house. They were friendly and efficient they had the entire patio cover up in one day. They also were very clean and had it all blown off the concrete and swept up in no time. I would not hesitate to hire them again, in fact we are thinking of putting up another one in the future.—Kristen M., Antioch We had a patio cover installed--extra large one. We are very happy with quality and the time that it was finished in. I would recommend these guys to anyone. They installed everything-lights, fans and conduit. Billy and Michael did a great job from start to finish. Oh ya, can’t forget Mark cause without him we would not have it.

Thanks to all of you at Bright Ideas, we really enjoy it.--Dave Z., Brentwood

Bright Ideas Design Center can be contacted at 925-234-9609 or www. brightideasdesigncenter.com.

September 2014 Bright Ideas Design Center This month’s Pick of the Vine has been awarded to Bright Ideas Design Center for their outstanding customer service.

10 Things That Need Your Spring Attention Spring is a time to assess how well your maintenance work held up during the winter and what other maintenance work or repairs must be made as a result of winter. Here’s our list of spring home maintenance tasks that will keep your home humming for another season.

Gutters and downspouts: Even if you cleaned them in the fall, a mulch can collect in the gutters that can hasten rust and deterioration and make gutters sluggish during spring showers. Use a garden hose, a gutter scoop and a nylon brush to flush the gutters and downspouts. Use a wire brush to remove rust and peeling paint. Repair leaks and seal joints with a high-quality exterior grade caulk. Prime bare spots and add a fresh coat of paint.

Siding: No matter the type of siding, after a long winter’s wear, it needs a good cleaning. One of the best means of brightening dingy siding is with a thorough pressure washing with water. If the siding is chalked or streaked, scrub it using a nylon truck brush along with a mild solution of powdered laundry detergent and hot water. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water. Check for cracks, peeling paint, missing or damaged mortar and caulking, and make the needed repairs.

Roof Leaks: Inspect the roof for loose or missing shingles. Binoculars work well for making an on-the-ground inspection.

Look in the attic for water stains on the underside of the roof sheathing and on the rafters. They are telltale signs of a roof leak that might yet produce enough water to make its way to your ceiling. You don’t need to wait till it rains to check a roof for leaks. Use a garden hose at suspicious areas to determine if your roof is leaking.

Unless the roof needs replacement, damaged shingle replacement, flashing repair and roofing cement or caulking usually will do the trick.

Caulking: Caulking can take a real beating during winter. Spring is a good time to caulk around window trim and door frames, especially if you missed doing it in the fall. Do this after you have washed the exterior siding. Caulk tends to crack in concrete, foundations and basement walls.

Window and door screens: If you have trouble getting a good view of your spring flowers through your freshly washed windows, it might mean your window screens need cleaning or replacement.

Remove window and door screens and give them a cleaning with a solution of powdered laundry detergent and hot water. Brush the screens with a nylon brush and give the screens and frames a rinsing with a garden hose or, better yet, a pressure washer. Mend tears and replace deteriorating material with new fabric.

Lubricate hinges on screen doors and adjust hydraulic closers to make sure that the door closes fully.

Decks and fences: Decks, fencing and other exterior wood finishes should be cleaned and finished regularly to keep them looking good and to extend their life. Most high-quality exterior stains and wood finishes will last for two to three seasons—depending upon climate and the severity of the elements. However, a good spring cleaning is always in order.

A solution of liquid chlorine bleach, powdered laundry detergent and hot water will remove mold and mildew from almost any exterior surface. For best results on wood decks, use a commercial deck-cleaning product that won’t damage the finish. If the deck cleaner doesn’t do it, try using a commercial deck brightener. If the finish is worn, try light sanding along with a fresh coat of finish.

Landscape irrigation: April showers may bring May flowers, but after the showers are gone, a good irrigation system will keep flowers blooming and turf green all summer. Spring is the time to clean,

adjust, lubricate and tighten sprinkler heads. Most heads have an adjustment screw that will control water volume and, thus, the area covered by the sprinkler.

Most modern sprinkler heads contain a filter that can be removed and cleaned.

Replace broken filters. Clean or replace valve diaphragms to make sure that they are sealing properly. If you have an automatic timer, adjust the program to provide adequate watering time and don’t forget to replace the battery that backs up the irrigation program.

Concrete patios, paths, driveways and carports: If your driveway or carport looks like an Indy 500 pit stop, a good cleaning is in order. Clean and degrease exterior concrete surfaces with a commercial concrete cleaner-degreaser. Use cat litter to absorb as much of the grease or oil first—by grinding it into the area with the soles of your shoes. Dispose of the oil-tainted cat litter as you would paint, used motor oil or other household toxic substances.

Air conditioner: Don’t wait until the first heat wave to have your air conditioner serviced. If you do, chances are you will have a long wait. Save money and beat the heat by having a heating and air conditioning specialist give your system a good going over. Change filters, clean the coil case, check the blower, the temperature drop and the coolant pressure, lubricate the system and make sure that all components are operating to capacity.

Barbecue: Make sure the barbecue is in tiptop shape for serious spring and summer grilling. A good cleaning is all most barbecue grills need. Clean rust using a wire brush and rust solvent. Spotprime using a heat-resistant metal paint.

For gas barbecues, use compressed air to remove spider webs from burner assemblies. Clean or replace grates as necessary.

BUSINESS

LAW OFFICE OF MICHAEL PRIMUS

BANKRUPTCY GETS RID OF PAYDAY LOANS Many people wonder, what is a payday loan? Payday lenders offer small, short term loans with little or no credit check or income verification. They are usually small shops in strip malls. Typically the loans are for about $300 and are due in 14 days. Generally, the borrower writes a post-dated check for $300 but gets only $250, and in just two weeks the full $300 is due. The borrower can pay about $50 to extend the loan for another two weeks or pay the full $300. If the borrower fails to pay either the $50 or the full $300, then the payday lender deposits the postdated check. These loans are easy and convenient but carry interest rates ranging from 100% to 500% on an annualized basis. How can that be legal? Payday lenders exploit loopholes in the usury laws so that even a 500% interest rate is legal. With interest rates like that, it’s no wonder payday lenders are popping up

like weeds in the spring!

In addition to store fronts in strip malls, there are a growing number of internet lenders making payday loans with similar interest rates. With an internet loan, the borrower authorizes the lender to deduct the payment directly from his or her account in 14 days.

Most people who borrow from a payday lender have been turned down for traditional loans and only out of desperation take a payday loan. Too often, the person takes a second payday loan to pay the first and begins a downward cycle. Like quicksand, the payday loan cycle is nearly impossible to get out of. Soon the person – in dire financial straits before the first payday loan – has several loans with payments due every two weeks. Often the payments are taken directly out of the borrower’s bank account on payday, hence the name.

As the cycle continues, the borrower goes deeper and deeper in debt. Many borrowers will have 5 or more payday loans, usually from different lenders.

Soon some of the post-dated checks begin to bounce, marking the beginning of the end. As the checks bounce, the borrower incurs bounced check charges,

further compounding the problem. Often on the verge of eviction due to unpaid rent, the borrower asks “How can this craziness end?” The answer might be bankruptcy. A bankruptcy is a federal court order that gives people a “fresh start” by forgiving debts including payday loans.

At the Law Office of Michael Primus, we have helped hundreds of clients get out of debt, stop wage garnishments, and start fresh through bankruptcy. If you live in Contra Costa County and have debt problems, contact us at 925-706-9200 for a free in-office consultation. We have offices in Antioch, Walnut Creek and Hercules.

Law Office of Michael Primus can be reached in his Antioch at 925-706-9200 or Walnut Creek office at 925-934-0500 or visit www.MichaelPrimus.com.

Heard it Through the Grapevine The Monthly Grapevine has been the backbone of my advertising needs. I have tried different variations of print advertising and using the exact same ad that I am currently running (and have with very little modifications for years), the results were amazing, Grapevine produces very good results, almost 8% more than any other publication I have tried. I track the return, not only customer count but also in dollars and cents, I have had no other advertising in ANY other form that produces gross dollars like the Grapevine.

Now with their help, I have expanded to multiple Internet specific type advertising. Lets face it, not every business, nor every person uses or sees just one type of advertising. The results were interesting, 2 to 3 % comes from these type of advertising (almost 8% less), just barely gave me an acceptable return. I can always count on the Grapevine, if I was forced into only using one advertising source, hands down I have tried and proven results from the Grapevine, and the people are fabulous to work with, always professional and friendly and eager to help in any way they can.

Thank you Monthly Grapevine!

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS...

BUCKLE UP! One of the most important, immediate actions we can take as a nation to protect children and adults in motor vehicles is high-visibility enforcement of seat belt and child passenger safety laws. The American public knows they should buckle up. Despite this awareness, research shows that many are not taking the necessary steps to protect themselves and their children on every ride. We know that enforcing the law is the most effective way to change this behavior.

That is why the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Air Bag & Seat Belt Safety Campaign launch the Click It or Ticket Mobilization, a high visibility enforcement campaign that targets motorists who fail to buckle themselves and their children.
