From The Desk Of...The CEOI can’t believe that another year has gone by. I love this time of year; it reminds me of the excitement and anticipation I had when I was a child, which I now see in my daughter’s eyes. It also reminds me that life is short and we need to take the opportunity to be thankful and appreciate all that we have. At the Monthly Grapevine we are pleased to continue to offer our readers and advertisers the value they’ve come to expect from us. Keeping our prices competitive, yet still delivering to reader’s mailboxes each and every month is our objective every year and an accomplishment we’re happy we’ve made, particularly this year.

For us here at the Monthly Grapevine we would like to thank our loyal advertisers, for without you we would cease to exist. Our customers see the value the Monthly Grapevine brings to the community and to their businesses. Our readers are equally as important; you see the value right in your mailboxes every month! Our readers also utilize our online coupons or our website to locate a plumber or fence repairman, a dentist or veterinarian.

On a personal note, I would like to thank my inside staff for all that they

have done to help me in my fi rst year of being CEO, and a big welcome to my new sales staff. Please make sure to thank them when you call or Facebook us and let us know you appreciate them. They work very hard to get each of our publications out on time… every time.

Happy Holidays to all!

Sincerely,

Sonya North - CEO

Finesse Limousine ServiceDecember 2012

Finesse LimoIn 1994, Mike Kerkezian, owner of Finesse Limousine Service was given the opportunity to take over the 4-year old company. So, for the past 18 years, Mike has worked hard to expand the business and make Finesse the Bay Area’s premier limousine and chauffeured transportation provider, offering complete and dependable service in the San Francisco Bay Area, Alameda, Contra Costa and surrounding counties.

For business or pleasure, Finesse Limousine Service provides Executive Sedans, Luxurious Limousines or a Cadillac Escalade SUV Limo. Their service is perfect for the business traveler going to a meeting or to and from the airport. For fun and leisure, Finesse can help make an event extra special. A trip into the City for dinner or shopping, spending a relaxing day in the Wine Country, Weddings, Birthdays or any celebration can be made more memorable with Finesse Limousine Service.

With high ratings for Customer Service and Satisfaction, Mike Kerkezian and Finesse Limousine Service have

earned an excellent reputation. Mike says the key is in the details. “We provide the best professional and personalized service to customers, ensuring a safe, stylish and no-hassle ride,” he says. Finesse stays ahead of the game by using the most up-to-date technology available in the industry. Real-time flight tracker, GPS vehicle tracking and DVD based navigation systems keep the office staff in constant communication with the chauffeurs, helping to prevent problems or handle last minute changes to client’s agendas. A few other features that make Finesse stand out are their on-line reservations, helpful office staff and knowledgeable drivers who pay attention to every detail. In addition, Mike has plans to add XM Radio and iPod hookups in all of their vehicles and supports “green” products in his business.

Since 1995, Finesse Limousine Service has been a member of the National Limousine Association. Mike is a member of the Discovery Bay and Antioch Chambers of Commerce and enjoys donating Limo rides to local schools and charities in the community.

Testimonials

This is the best limo service! I was very worried about hiring a limo for my daughters upcoming wedding because I have NEVER had a successful limo

experience. (At my daughter’s prom, the limo actually caught on fire!) Mike was great! I hired two limos and a town car for the wedding day and all three were very nice, clean and most importantly, on time! It happened to be a very busy weekend in May (proms, weddings etc.) and still, my needs were met perfectly. This is the only Limo service I will use from here on out! Thanks, Mike! -- Sherry N., Clayton

Mike & his staff were wonderful to work with. The limo was beautiful- the service exceptional!!! Finesse was so easy to work with for our last minute reservation for my daughter’s wedding. I cannot believe we forgot to order the limo sooner. The best part was he was even able to get us the white one on a Saturday with a last minute reservation. The driver arrived early & even helped out when while I (the mother-of-the-bride) was shuffling things between two other cars at the hotel as the photos were winding up and we were getting everyone off to the ceramony site. The driver looked sharp and was very friendly. Finesse was a class act!!! I only wish I had found them back when my kids went to prom....I will be keeping their phone number handy!!! – Debbie M., Tracy

TRAVEL TIME

Norwegian Cruise LineGreetings and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you! In recent issues we have been highlighting close to home coastal cruises and we want to tell you about several that NCL, aka Norwegian Cruise Line, will be doing next year.

First, the Norwegian Pearl will do a 7 night cruise on May 5, 2013 from Los Angeles. She will visit San Francisco, Astoria, Victoria, Nanaimo and complete her voyage in Vancouver. There are 2 lovely days at sea included with Balcony rooms beginning at $579 with ocean view rooms at $419.

The Norwegian Jewel will sail a 7 night cruise beginning May 8, 2013 and will visit the ports of San Francisco, Astoria, Victoria, Nanaimo and conclude also in Vancouver with 2 consecutive days at sea. Rates for this cruise begin at $629 for balcony rooms and ocean view with rates as low as $509.

Coming back down the coast in the fall of 2013, the Norwegian Sun will leave Vancouver on September 16th. She ports in Nanaimo, Victoria, Astoria and San Francisco with, again, 2 days at sea. Rates for your balcony room are $629 and ocean view rooms are $419.

All rates are per person and based on double occupancy and subject to availability. We are taking bookings now for these cruises and since it is the holiday time of year, why not give the gift of travel to that someone special in your life? There is nothing like sailing the Pacifi c coast and these cruise only take place in the spring and fall and only occasionally by several of the cruise lines that are repositioning ships between the west coast and the Caribbean.

As they say at NCL, it’s time to CRUISE LIKE A NORWEIGAN!!!!!!

Norwegian Cruise Line is the innovator in cruise travel with a 46-year history of breaking the boundaries of traditional cruising, most notably with the introduction of Freestyle Cruising which revolutionized the industry by giving guests more freedom and fl exibility. Today, Norwegian invites guests to “Cruise Like a Norwegian” on one of 11

purpose-built Freestyle Cruising ships, providing guests the opportunity to enjoy a relaxed cruise vacation on some of the newest and most contemporary ships at sea.

The Company has two 4,000-passenger vessels, Norwegian Breakaway and Norwegian Getaway, under construction for delivery in April 2013 and January 2014, along with one larger “Breakaway Plus” vessel for delivery in fall 2015. Known as New York’s ship, Norwegian Breakaway will be the largest vessel to homeport year-round in the city, sailing to Bermuda for the summer beginning May 12, 2013.

We want to wish all of you a very happy and joyous holiday with every wish for a prosperous New Year as we wipe the slate clean and start anew. We’re here as always to help you GETAWAY FROM YOUR EVERYDAY.

Be safe, stay safe and travel safe.

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

Challenge to Maintain DentitionThe trend toward maintaining teeth is an important contributor to total health and well-being and that the baby boomers are leading the charge with the intent on becoming the first generation in history to die with nearly all their natural teeth. A generation ago it was commonly accepted that when you got old, you lost your teeth and wore dentures.

The baby boomers have a different set of expectations. They intend to keep their teeth and are learning what to do to maintain their oral health. However, it is a little bit of a liability that, by having teeth they are at risk for disease, especially caries, periodontal disease and, depending on the risk factors, conditions such as cancer. Many of them already have a significant amount of dental treatment; these restorations don’t last forever, due to various reasons and they are subject to needing repair

and replacement. Oral and dental diseases have a disproportionate effect on the elderly for both obvious and less obvious reasons. In addition to years of exposure to bacteria, the teeth and related structures show evidence of wear and tear as a result of normal chewing, talking and destructive habits like clenching and grinding.

The elderly also suffer from chronic disorders that can directly or indirectly affect oral health. They often require multiple medications and a common side effect of several of the medications is reduced salivary flow, which can lead to significant problems of the teeth and their supporting structures. In addition, the elderly may also have difficulty performing routine oral hygiene because of physical limitations or disabilities. Oral infection is now recognized as a risk factor for a number of systemic diseases, like cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and respiratory disorders. It is also important to emphasize that once people have lost all their teeth and are using complete dentures, their oral health needs do not stop. Jaws are not static and may continue to resorb, leading to loose dentures. People without teeth still remain susceptible to oral cancer, mucosal diseases and alterations in the salivary flow.

A regular routine of daily oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing is very important, along with a protocol of fluoride applications and therapeutic mouth rinses. Using salivary substitutes to keep the mouth from getting dry due to medications is also a great preventative routine, as it helps to prevent root cavities and fungal infections.

We all know that periodontal disease and oral cancer are two diseases that have been linked to smoking, so smoking cessation efforts would also improve oral and general health, as well. In addition, keeping up with routine regular check-ups with the dentist is an important part of good oral health care.

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.

ON THE HOUSE

LED’s Have Come Of AgeHow times change. Since the mid-nineties everyone and his brother has raved about the energy effi ciency of the compact fl uorescent light bulb (CFL). When the CFL was introduced is was more energy effi cient than any other type of lighting that had previously been used in the home. Where old-fashioned fi lament style incandescent bulbs were good for 1200 hours of use, the public clamored to purchase CFL’s that burned for 8,000 hours and more – using one-fi fth of the energy. As staunchly as we supported the change from conventional fi lament lighting to CFL use, we are now in the midst of an even better alternative. We feel that compact fl uorescents will be fading away sooner than later. The reason is simple. The next generation of artifi cial lighting is equally cheap to operate, much, much brighter (and oh so much whiter) and longer lasting than CFL’s too. How about a life span of 25,000 hours for starters!?! Where we never saw a key chain size CFL fl ashlight an LED keychain fl ashlight is now at every

checkout counter. The light emitting diode (LED) has fi nally made its way through lighting puberty (and the fl ashlight circuit) and is now stretching its “I’m the best and cheapest lighting for your home” muscles. Just about every manufacturer of lighting is now offering some sort of household LED alternative. Big box and independent hardware stores alike, all offer an assortment of LED lighting. Don’t be fooled by the fi rst generation of solar powered LED path lights that barely offered enough light to be seen on anything but pitch-black night. We’ve discovered that LED lighting for the home is literally Amazing! And we are so glad. No mercury, no special handling, and, best of all, LED’s are recyclable

Our latest whole house remodel partly involved replacing a 70’s style recessed fl uorescent light box and other dated fi xtures with new LED recess lights. The result was brighter rooms and halls (no more putrid colored light), even lighting and lighting that is truly white. When the lighting is bright and the lighting is white the true colors used to decorate a room pop out and are more vivid and bold. Also, there is no time delay. LED’s are “instant on” bulbs.

LED’s have been used commonly since the early 1960’s as indicator lights in electronics

Morris and James Carey can be contacted at 1-800-737-2474 or visit their website at www.onthehouse.com.

and have been growing as a light source ever since. At the Greenbuild 2012 green products tradeshow we spoke with several light fi xture manufacturers who stated that LED technology had “come of age” and that LED had become “dependable enough to manufacture high end commercial lighting” for street lighting, parking lots, stadiums and just about any other conceivable use.

We strongly urge you to experiment with a good quality LED light somewhere in your home. The absence of heat, the evenly disbursed bright white light, the continued energy savings you have with fl uorescents, the compactness, the instant start up, the unbelievable lasting quality and the absence of mercury make the LED the next “safer” generation of home lighting. The incandescent was our VHS. The CFL was our Laser Disk and the LED is our DVD/Blue-ray.

LED’s are still a bit pricey, but if we each purchase one, “supply-demand” will kick in and the price will drop. Wonder what Ben Franklin would think?

Top 5 Holiday Dangers to Pets - Preventive Measures Can Save PetsThe holidays are a festive time for us and our pets. However, due to ongoing activities and constant distractions, we can easily overlook potential dangers to our four-legged family members. Take preventive measures to protect your pets this holiday season. Being aware of these top fi ve dangers could save you a trip to the veterinary emergency room.

1. Holiday Tinsel and Ornaments - Tinsel, while not toxic, is very attractive to pets, particularly cats. The shiny, dangling decoration refl ects light and can move in the slightest draft — appearing to come alive to watchful critters. The problem with tinsel is that once it’s consumed, it can cause serious injury to your pet. If not caught in time, this foreign body ingestion could actually be fatal as it twists and bunches

inside your pet’s intestines. Immediate veterinary care is required. In addition, bright and colorful tree ornaments can attract your pet’s curiosity. Place glass, aluminum and paper ornaments higher up on the tree. Pets can chew and swallow these fragile objects and not only can broken pieces form sharp edges lacerate your pet’s mouth, throat and intestines, they could also create a choking hazard.

2. Holiday Lighting and Candles - Twinkling, shiny and dangling holiday lights - such as the icicle, netting, garland, curtain, rope and candle varietal - may be another source of danger to your curious pets. Got a pet that likes to chew? Electrical shock may occur when a pet chomps down on an electrical cord, causing tongue lacerations and possible death. Check your holiday lights for signs of fraying or chewing and use a grounded three-prong extension cord as a safety precaution.

If you have candles on display, place them in a hard-to-reach spot so that your pets can not access them. Not only can pets seriously burn themselves, but knocking over candles creates a fi re

hazard and may leave a trail of hot wax that will easily burn the pads of paws and more.

3. Gift Wrap Ribbon - You may be tempted to fashion your pet with a decorative ribbon “collar” but beware that this could become a choking hazard.

4. Food Hazards - Festive events often mean edible treats — and lots of them. Unfortunately, some of the most popular holiday goodies, such as chocolate, bones and nuts, can be extremely toxic or fatal to pets. Keep your pet on her regular diet and caution visitors against giving your pet special treats or table scraps.

5. Toxic Holiday Plants - They may be pretty, but some holiday plants are poisonous—even deadly. As little as a single leaf from any lily variety of pine needles, holly, mistletoe or poinsettias is lethal to cats.

Taking precautions with pets during these festive times can help ensure that you and your family will enjoy a happy and healthy holiday season!

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

Fast-Teks Saved My Day!The time is 6:00 am on “Black Friday”. As I look out my window at a beautiful November morning, I can see the sun rising over the distant San Joaquin Delta. The weather outside is certainly not “frightful”, however it is that time of year when we hit the streets running to start our quest for the best deals on the best gifts for Christmas. Seated at my desk, I am going to check my emails for the last of my messages for ALL those “take an additional” coupons before I put on my walking shoes and head for the stores. One click of the mouse and the Christmas Grinch shows up in living color. Those horrible words “your connection has failed” keep repeating with my numerous attempts to push the mouse and I know I need someone to save my Christmas. Fortunately, my assignment this month is to peek in on Fast-Teks, our local computer experts.

With their one call promise, 24/7, I was able to talk with Jim Aster about my

dilemma. He walked me through the process of troubleshooting the problem and made me an appointment to come out personally to access the problem. Most of us home offi ce users don’t have time to hassle with bringing our computer to the retail shop and I personally would be scared start unplugging all of those wires. That is the great part about Fast-Teks; they come to your home to troubleshoot and handle the repairs for you. Now, that counts ten points in my book. Fortunately for me, my problem was pretty minor and I was still able to make it in time for those “door buster” sales.

Their repair services include a PC Check-Up which includes cleaning debris and dust from the case & fans and defragment of the hard disk drive. I didn’t have a clue about defragging the computer, but after this service alone, I was back to pushing the mouse at mach speed. They also check for unseen problems, remove harmful programs like Trojan Horse and Hijacker and walk you through some simple maneuvers you can do at home. They can also transfer fi les from one computer to another, update and install Windows operating systems and install an internal expansion card for your PC or notebook. I felt like I had met my professional specialist for my computer

Fast Teks can be reached at 925-265-8357 or visit www.fastteks.com.

and he didn’t make me feel stupid for not knowing all of those technical terms. Another ten points!

I didn’t realize that at any given time, thousands of computer viruses, worms and spyware are in circulation on the internet. Millions of users with always-on-high-speed internet connections are prime targets for email attacks, identify theft, and malicious hacker problems. Fast-Teks provides software and hardware solutions to remove and combat continuous attempts by unknown predators. Holy Cow! I didn’t realize how serious this was. Jim told me he could help us with support and updates before they become a problem. No worries there, we are defi nitely going to check in with our “specialist” on a regular basis to make sure we are protected at all times.

So Jim and Denise, this secret shopper gives you guys ten red ribbons for saving my Christmas. The Monthly Grapevine encourages all our readers to give the gift of security to your friends and family this year with a check-up from Fast-Teks in their stockings with a simple call to 925-265-TEKS. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!
