Moving into the GraniteBay View offices overthe last few weeks has

been quite a transition.I came here from the news

desk at the Auburn Journal, asister publication of the View.For the last five years I editedstories, wrote about Auburnnews and designed the paper.

My new job puts me a lotcloser to my home in Roseville.

But if you think about it, a lotof people spend most of theday at their desk. It becomes asort of second home.

I had that realization whilecleaning out my desk in

Auburn for the big move. I hadaccumulated five years ofnewspapers, business cards,dried-out pens and fast foodsalsa packets. Ick!

So I find it quite apropos thatthe theme of this months Viewis home dcor and springcleaning. There are many tipsand trends in this issue that I

will be keeping in mind as I tryto make this new 13- by 11-foot

space my own.The office definitely needs a

touch of greenery (as departingeditor Susan Belknap took herlush ferns and palms with her).

Im also toying with pops ofcolor, perhaps orange. I was

excited to read my colorinstincts are spot-on according

to design students at WilliamsSchool of Interior Design inRoseville (see page 14).

While sorting through oldpaperwork and newspapers, I

wish I had the advice of profes-sional organizer Susan May-field to make the task easier.

You can read her top 10 tips forreducing clutter on page 12.

If youre in a design rut, thereare many ways to remake yourspace. Interior designers andremodelers share the trends

youll see in home design thisseason (page 4 and 19).

Im sure youll find plentymore ideas for your space inthis issue, which features adsfrom many local designers andremodelers along with our reg-ular advertisers.

Since Im pretty much set-tled in now, give me a call ordrop me a line. Id love to hear

what you think of the GraniteBay View.

Designers say bouncingaround from house-to-house or moving up to a

bigger and better home is out.Staying put and creating beau-ty where you are is in.

Julie Smith, of Julie Smithand Associates in Granite Bay,says her clients, who a few

years ago would have built anew house, are now upgrading

what they have.She says if they are building

a new home, theyre doing lesssquare footage. Whether itsnew construction, a remodelor redecorating, Smithbelieves a designer can help

homeowners pull their looktogether.Its important to ensure all

of the elements match. Itswhat makes the project sing,Smith says.

Local interior designers haveinsider tips on how to get thelivable look you want in thehome youre in.

David Leinberger, owner ofLaunch Design in Granite Bay,says, There are no hardcoretrends this year. People want

comfort and a more casuallook. Everything and anythinggoes.

Warm, inviting and com-fortable, is how Bob Hag-mann, of House2HomeDesign in Roseville, describesthe current look people aretrying to achieve.

Designer Lisa Smith, daugh-ter of Julie Smith, says thehome design trend this year isnot to be trendy. She says thelook should be classic.

functions.My clients want to be comfortableentertaining in a room or just spendingtime with family in the same room,Hagmann says.

Julie Smith explains that classic interi-or design does not necessarily meantraditional. She says no matter whatthe style is modern, country French,etc. it needs to be done with furnish-ings and dcor that dont go out of style.

Decorating in an authentic way, inwhatever style you like, creates a classiclook, Julie Smith says.

She says examples of classic style arecounters in natural stone, cabinets in a

whitewashed oak or faux finish, and oil-rubbed bronze or antique brass fixtures.

The designers all recommend gettingrid of the clutter and creating a room-by-room game plan.

People buy too much stuff and it cre-ates clutter. Theyd be better off spend-ing the same amount of money on onenice piece, Lisa Smith advises.

Leinberger stresses to keep it simple,



Julie Smith says earth tones, such as those in her showroom, are hot right now.

HOME DCOR: WHATS HOTAND WHATS NOT

HOT: Earth tones, tone on tone, cognac, red,mocha,sage, says

designer Julie Smith of Julie Smith and Associates in Granite

Bay.

Black,rubbed out blues, bigger molding are in this season,

says Lisa Smith of Julie Smith and Associates.

Blues and florals,red as an accent color are on designer

David Leinbergers hot list.

Natural woods and stone, bamboo flooring are big right now,

says Bob Hagmann.

NOT: Oversized furniture

Visual overload

Only one wall painted in a color

Cutesy country or grape themes

DESIGNDOS AND DONTS

DO: Listen to professionals

Have a decorating game plan

Paint ceiling same color as walls

Use the same paint color in light, medium and

dark throughout home

DONT: Spend too much money on small stuff

Think more is better

Paint every room a different color

Undertake a home dcor job if youre not

good at it

Julie Smith of Julie Smith Interiors says that instead of moving to a new home with a nicer kitchen, homeownersare upgrading what they have.

less is more.Each of the designers express dis-

may over what television shows andmagazines try to convince their audi-ence is good design.

People see things in home maga-zines and think that its the law, LisaSmith says.

Leinberger says the televisionshows on interior design give viewers

some bad advice.A lot of what they show is notgood design. It is design that looksgood on television, not in real life,he says.

On the topic of paint, the designersagree that painting only one wall in adifferent color is not good design.They recommend painting the entireroom in that color, including the ceil-ing.

A white ceiling looks unfinished,explains Julie Smith.

Leinberger advises against creating

an Easter egg village look by paint-ing every room a different color.

Choose one color for the entirehouse and then use a light, mediumand dark shade of that color, hesays.

Lisa Smith claims white is the newblack. She says shes used it forkitchen cabinets, trim, or even walls.

Leinberger says his favorite accentcolor is red and he likes pops of col-or, surprises of color.

Its important to ensure

all of the elements

match. Its what makes

the project sing.Julie Smith, Julie Smith and Associates

with so many choices to build your very

own signature burger, you may be tempted

to write down the exact combination ofingredients to delight your taste buds

again on your next visit, but why spoil thefun?

If youve ever cooked turkey burgers,

you know that they tend to be blander thanbeef, calling for a creative use of

seasonings or toppings. The

mouthwatering turkey burger at CounterBurger is the non-turkey-burger eaters

turkey burger, with satisfying flavors that

kick it into culinary orbit. Burgers here are

all natural chicken and turkey, 100 percentnatural Angus beef or vegan veggie.

fries. Make your selection easier and

choose from the Market Selection Menuthat highlights favorite choices or new

special flavors. The new Artisan bun is a

keeper and also holds your burger andtoppings in tact but you can also go

spot in Santa Monica and has grown to

more than a dozen locations throughoutCalifornia. It has expanded into several

other states, and now you can find it

abroad, as well. This successful burgerspot was honored on Oprah Winfreys

Top 10 burgers before you die show and

rightly so, since theres not a bland burger

in sight here. General Manager Brandon

Quality and flavor flourish at Tandoori NightsFor owner Muhammad Ejaz, Tandoori

Nights Authentic PakistaniIndian

Restaurant is the crowning achievement

of many years of hard work. With morethan 10 years of hands-on experience in

his native Pakistan and at the popular

family-owned Pakwan Restaurants in theBay Area, great food quality and

consistency come as second nature.

He opened his Roseville location nearlya year ago to showcase the authentic

Pakistani-Indian specialties. The menu

includes an appetizing array of dishes thatrepresent the cuisine he grew up eating in

Pakistan that came from both sides of theborder. And good food is what you get atthis no-frills small local spot, where you

can help yourself to utensils and water

from the refrigerator while your food isprepared in the open kitchen.

Muhammad is the spice expert in the

kitchen. Each dish gets a distinct andbright flavor as he carefully adds each

spice to achieve a flavorful balance.

Though the restaurant excels in meatdishes and serves a delicious Tandoori

chicken leg, there are many other dishes

to explore, such as the fragrant curriesincluding Nihari, a very special traditional

boneless beef curry. Another specialty is

the Kadahi chicken, a traditional tomatobase curry from north Pakistan delicately

cooked in a pan. Tender, tangy marinated

lamb comes extra spicy in a curry withroasted peppers. Quiet down the flavors

with a yummy Mango Lassi yogurt drink.The menu also offers a wonderful fillet of

sole, very lightly spiced and cooked on

skewers in the clay oven. More than fiveversions of Nan (Tandoori oven baked

bread) are offered ranging from garlic

Nan to Nan stuffed with potatoes oronions or ground beef.

You could also dine happily on

vegetarian delights served here including

the Began Bhartha, roasted eggplantcooked with onions and tomatoes and

Aloo Palak, which is a tasty combination

of spinach and potatoes. The vegetable

curry blends a tasty combination ofseasoned vegetables in a light curry sauce

and the Chana Masala elevates the tasteof garbanzo beans with fragrant warm

spices.

The daily lunch special is quite a dealhere and includes an entre, salad, rice,

side dish and Naan all for only $6.47.

Sunday brunch has recently been addedfeaturing traditional Halwa Puree and

Beef Paya. Catering and free delivery are

available. Call the restaurant foradditional details.

Every few years we paintthem, and they sure domake a convenient spot

on which to hang our flat pan-el TVs. But how much do wereally think about our walls?

Walls are, arguably, thelargest decorator element in

your home. Many of us, how-ever, rarely venture beyondusing them as background forour furniture and accessories.

With a little courage and cre-ativity, walls can be turned intoa bold design statement in

your home. Maps can reflect our her-

itage or interests and areappropriate in virtually anyroom of the house. Love Italiancuisine? Consider placing amap of Tuscany in your break-fast nook. Proud of your

African heritage? Grace a fam-ily room wall with a floor-to-ceiling map of the continent.

Pictures may be worth athousand words, but one hottrend turns words into graphicart to grace your walls. A sim-ple phrase or quote dear to

your heart can be turned into agraphic element in your roomif you render it in decorative

script and colors that enhanceyour overall theme. The quotenot only makes a visuallyappealing focal point for theroom, it tells visitors some-thing about who you are as

well. When you think about the

importance of fabric in a room,are you just thinking furnitureand window treatments? Fab-ric can be an exciting substi-tute for wallpaper. Or, it canadd punch to decor as a piece

of textile art, like a tapestry.

Few wall treatments makeas definitive a statement as amural, and thanks to moderntechnology wallpaper muralsare easier than ever to installand maintain. For a few hun-dred dollars you can choosefrom an array of themes travel, sports, nature and more or have your own custommural created from a favoritephotograph.

Wall color will always beimportant. Fortunately, sometrends also show signs ofdesign longevity, like usinginteresting neutrals on walls tocreate a pleasing, complemen-tary background for yourdecor. Designers agree thatgray is the new beige, and themost interesting color is onethat mixes the tones gray andbeige to create the ultimateblend of warm and cool for aneutral.

Across our culture, therecession has Americans doingless with more. An emergingdesign trend incorporates afew big, bold pieces of walldecor in an otherwise mini-malist setting to create maxi-

mum impact with a minimumnumber of pieces. Our penchant for all things

green is showing up indesigns that evoke the natural

world and bring nature insideour homes. You can achievethis with a simple print of a for-est, some artfully framed bam-boo shoots or an eco-friendlyart piece made from recycledglass bottles and reclaimed

wood.

Sacramento area professionalorganizer Susan Mayfield offers

these 10 tips to reduce chaos inyour life:

10. Look at what isworking in your life andwhat isnt

If youre going to commit togetting organized, you need toreally take stock in how youvebeen handling routine tasks.Look at what systems are

working and which ones couldbe adjusted for simplicity.

9. Write down yourvalues and goals

Its important to get downin writing whats important to

you, otherwise youll be flyingby the seat of your pants. Youshould really look at where

youre spending your time and weigh whats important toyou.

8. Prioritize and planactivities according toyour values and goals

Once you figure out yourpriorities, it will be easier todevote more time and energyto them. If family time is a bigpriority for you, put it at thetop of your list.

7. Use calendarsand to-do lists

Avoid mental clutter. Tryingto juggle tasks and appoint-ments in your head will onlycause more chaos. Using writ-ten planners can help you see

which days are busiest, givingyou more of a visual.

6. Schedule timeto get organized

If you dont actively sched-ule organization time, like you

would a doctors appointmentor lunch with a friend, its notgoing to happen. The morespecific you get about some-thing, the more likely you areto do it.

5. Get rid of things youdont want, need or use

Most of our homes havemore things we dont use than

we do use. The average persononly uses 20 percent of whatthey have in their living space.Dont be afraid to get rid ofthings if theyre only going toadd clutter to your life.

4. Set up task areaswith all the neededitems easily accessible

Youre not going to keep your toothbrush in the hallcloset. The same theory shouldbe applied with other thingsand tasks. For example, keep

all of your bill-paying materialsin the same place. That way

you dont have to hunt foritems spread across thehouse.

3. Set up systemsfor routine tasks

If you dont do this, thingswill quickly get out of control.If you develop a system andstay consistent, youll avoidclutter build up. Just like laun-dry, if you dont have a systemfor washing clothes, youregoing to end up with a big pileand no clean ones.

2. Have a placefor everything

When you designate a placefor the things in your home,

youll spend less time trying tolocate them and less time fig-uring out where they go. It alsoprevents mental clutter.

1. Routinely clear clutterand schedule time tomaintain systems

Visual clutter causes men-tal clutter. Once you can get ridof clutter and maintain sched-uled systems, youll be readyfor life when it happens.

BY MEGAN WOOD

GRANITE BAY VIEW

In 2004, having taught interior design at local col-leges, Barbara Williams decided it was time to openher own school.

One of the things I really wanted to focus on wasthe practical knowledge of interior design that someschools just dont teach, said Williams, founder andowner of the Williams School of Interior Design inRoseville.

Practical skills such as creating business plans,writing up contracts and proposals are just a few ofthe business savvy skills Williams emphasizes so thather students are well on their way to owning theirown business after graduation.

I think thats important to be able to show my stu-dents that this is a service that can be a lucrativebusiness if you know how, Williams said. Thatsalso why I am still an active designer, I can bring myown experiences into the classroom so the studentshave real world examples to learn from.

Small classrooms and class sizes allow students toget the most one-on-one time with Williams andcollaboration time with each other to work on proj-ects.

With more than 30 years experience in the interi-or design field, Barbara Williams has seen her shareof trends, themes and color schemes.

Its a very dynamic industry, its always changing

These students at Williams

School of Interior Designhave some serious style.

ALISON HIRSCH, ROCKLIN

Why did you decide to goback to school?

I have my degree in com-munica-tions and

journalismfrom theUniversityof Arizona,but I never

enjoyedmy jour-nalismclasses. Tenyears ago, I was going toschool at the Academy ofArt University in San Francis-co for interior design butthen I got married and start-ed my family and figuredschool could wait. Now thatmy kids are a little older thisis something I can do as abusiness that Ive alwaysloved but I can still be a

mom and be with my fami-ly.

Time to prune your trees and be ready forspring!


What is your specialty?Ive been doing a lot of kids

rooms lately, and those are alot of fun. Right now Im work-

ing on a young girls room andwere doing a Hawaiian theme.Shes getting into her earlyteens and moving away fromthat little girl phase so its achallenge to find somethingthat will carry her through toher college years and havelongevity in design, it needs tobe able to adapt and be practi-cal. But Im also looking at spe-cial accreditations for senior liv-ing, or kitchen design for mybusiness.

What colors do you foreseebeing trends this spring?I see a lot of turquoise being

used with black and white, alsoyellows and oranges. Brightcolors. Whether using shadesthroughout the design, orusing accents of the color thatreally pop in a monochromaticroom.

Where do you get inspiration?My daughter and I watch a

lot of HGTV we love ColorSplash, Divine Design andMy First House. I think a lotof people love those kinds ofshows because people see a bigtransformation for not a lot ofcost and its fun to dream ofways to improve your environ-ment.

TANYA URATA, GRANITE BAY

What has been your favoriteproject?

I really love doing wholehouse projects. I recently com-

pletely gutted

and renovateda condo in LasVegas. Ive alsodone severalprojects inMexico. Idesigned arehab clinicand worked on

a home in Acapulco. Ive start-ed to think about doing somecommercial work like design-ing boutiques or I think salonswould be really fun.

What advice would you giveto homeowners?

Art is a must. Start withgood art, you must have some-thing that you enjoy looking atin your home. I think good artis so important and is evenmore so when it comes todesigning a room.

What design trends are younoticing?

Orange is making a come-back. Ive seen it used on furni-ture, walls and in decorativepieces like vases and bowls a

lot lately. I think Lucite furni-ture and retro designs are alsoon the way back as well asheavy lacquered furniture. Its a

throwback to vintage but witha modern take.

Whats your design philoso-phy?

I tend to lean towards amore modern, contemporarystyle myself. I like clean linesand simplicity. I think less is def-initely more, it gives you timeto think and breathe withoutall that clutter. I think anorganized room allows you tofocus on your life and whatsreally important and isnt quite

so stifling.

REBECCA COOK,FAIR OAKS

What will you do with yourinterior design degree?

I dont have plans to start myown business, getting this edu-cation was purely for my ownpersonal enjoyment, as an endto all theyears of say-ing I wish.Im retiredbut Ive

always loveddesign, I cameto schoolbecause Iwanted tolearn, not to have anothercareer.

What is your favorite project?My husband and I designed

our house without an architect.Hes a building contractor andhe and I designed the roomsand the house to be energyefficient. We have awnings

that keep the house cool so wedont need air conditioning inthe summer and we have radi-ant heating so the sun heatsour house naturally. We alsoreused and repurposed a lot ofthe materials from the originalsmall cottage that we turnedinto our home.

Where do you find designideas?

I like to look at the abstractand see how they can be useddifferently. I was at Habitat forHumanity and there was thisbeam, I dont know what it hadbeen used for before, but Idecided I had to have it. Iturned it into a floating futon-like couch that hangs from theceiling and the ends of thebeam are end tables.

Is there a designer or artistyou are inspired by?

I have always loved FrankLloyd Wright, specifically hisFalling Water home. I like hislines, very clean lines andangles.

Start with good art, you must have something that

you enjoy looking at in your home.Tanya Urata, design student, Williams School of Design

BY EILEEN WILSON

GRANITE BAY VIEW

Spring is almost here, and

with bird calls and budding

blossoms comes the seem-ingly instinctual desire to pushup shirtsleeves and really cleanhouse.

Commercial cleaning solu-tions have proliferated over the

years, but in todays cash-strapped economy, consumersare looking for inexpensive,tried-and-true tricks that really

work.Karen Buitrago, a house-

keeper who has been cleaningGranite Bay homes for more

than 10 years, knows that sim-ple, old-fashioned products aresometimes the best.

Baking soda is awesome. Iuse it to get rid of tub rings, andin the kitchen sink. I always use

white vinegar and water onmirrors and windows. shesaid. But getting glass clean isall about the towels. Its got tobe a clean towel, without lint. Amicrofiber cloth is best.

Buitrago also likes usingGreen Works products, which

she says are environmentallysafe.

Dont ever use vinegar onnatural stone, she cautions.Especially not on marble,

which will stain and GraniteBay homes tend to have a lot ofmarble.

Granite Bay resident Vanda

Borders agrees. Her motherand grandmother taught her

how to deal with stubborncleaning problems using com-mon household supplies whencleaning her own home.

All the things (cleaningrecipes) I use were passeddown from family members,

she said. With baking soda,white vinegar and ammonia,

you can basically clean any-thing.

From the basics, like usingbaking soda as a mild scouringpowder for sink and shower, tothe unusual, like using abanana peel to polish patent-

leather shoes and jewelry, Bor-ders prefers using household

items rather than chemicals toavoid harsh smells when shecleans her kitchen.

I use vinegar in the laundry

to whiten whites one quar-ter cup in the wash and I wontneed a fabric softener, shesaid, with a reminder to nevermix bleach with ammonia orvinegar.

Also, according to Borders,one wrong move with bleachcan leave a permanent markon carpet or furniture, so clean

with caution.Not everyone has time for

deep cleaning. Thats when acleaning service can come in

handy.Our business had sloweddown some, but its reallypicked back up since fall, saidDoug VanLente, owner of MaidPro cleaning service inRoseville. Spring is our busiesttime people dont have timeto clean their baseboards, their

windows, the heavy cleaning. According to VanLente, for

many families, its a quality oflife issue.

You have better things to do

with you time than clean, hesaid.

Spring clean can be inexpensive and greenCLEAN WITH WHAT

YOUVE GOT

Using common household products

as cleaners is easy. Heres how touse those items in your pantry tobanish dirt and grime:Baking soda Sprinkle generously in damp sink

and shower, wait 10 minutes thenscrub. Baking soda will scour with-out damaging surface. Add a thin layer on the bottom ofcats litter box to absorb odors.

Add one cup to toilet and let sitfor an hour to clean and deodorize. Combine with water to make apaste, use to polish stainless steel orchrome.

Add a half cup to washingmachine for cleaner laundry. Sprinkle on carpet, let sit 30 min-utes, vacuum to deodorize.

Vinegar Dampen cloth with distilled white

vinegar to clean cutting boards,stainless steel, and tile countertops.Do not use on natural stone.

Add a few tablespoons to dishwa-ter to cut grease.

Run through cycle in coffeepot toremove mineral deposits and stains.

Soak a cloth in vinegar, leavecloth on stubborn stickers and pricetags for several minutes. Wipe. Use full-strength vinegar in aspray bottle to clean windows.

Cornstarch Sprinkle on recently polished fur-niture to absorb excess oil, thenbuff with cloth.

Mix cornstarch with milk toremove ink stains in carpet. Make apaste, brush paste on stain, allowto dry. Brush off residue and vacu-um.

Rub on stuffed toys, then brushoff to clean, or place small stuffed

animals in a bag, sprinkle corn-starch, shake. Rub on walls to remove grease

stains, with a soft cloth until staindisappears.

S

o you want to move up the

property ladder, but theresno way youre going to sellyour house in this market.

The next best thing? Remod-eling, says Steve Zabetian,owner of Atlas Granite andStone Inc.

People have been hit withthe downfall of the economy,so theyre stuck in their home,he said. So homeowners say,lets at least upgrade it. Get thekitchen youve always wantedor if you have a leaking bath-

tub, do the bathroom.Now based in Rancho Cor-dova, (he recently had to closehis Roseville showroom),Zabetian said kitchens andbathrooms are the No. 1remodels he is doing right now.

And with Atlas, when theyremodel a kitchen, they doeverything including thekitchen sink.

Atlas can take care of thecountertops, the flooring, theplumbing and fixtures, even

cabinetry as the company hasits own cabinet shop.

The most attractive thingabout my company is we doeverything start to finish,Zabetian said. I dont have tohire a contractor or subcon-tractor.

Working with no subcon-tractors and having directaccess to materials also means

a fast turn around, he said.Its all done quick. A bath-

room or kitchen usually takes

two to three weeks, Zabetiansaid. We just finished a homein Granite Bay that was lessthan 18 days.

In addition to getting toenjoy your new space, Zabet-ian said remodeling is also aninvestment in your homesresale value, when you dodecide to sell.

And granite isnt just for yourkitchen countertops anymore.Homeowners are doing theirfireplaces, walls, windowsills,

even baseboards with granite.Find out the pros and cons of

the surface you select, Zabet-ian says.

Some people like the look ofmarble, but the maintenance ishigher, he said.

The Kearns Co. Builders andDevelopers Inc. does a lot ofnew home construction, roomadditions and bank repo fixer-

uppers.But whats really hot in

remodeling right now iskitchens.

Kearns Company, based inRocklin, can transform thekitchen with custom cabinets,appliances, flooring and more.Kearns Company visits the

homeowners kitchen to get asense of how he or she wants it

to look. Then, the homeowneris given three computer-draft-ed options for redesigning thespace.

The two most importantthings are the kitchen and themaster bedroom/bathroom,said President Bill Kearns.Those give you the most bang

for your buck and it will actual-ly increase the value of your

home.Updating older houses is a

major chunk of his businessright now, but outdoorkitchens, with built-in barbe-cues and countertops for foodprep, are also big.

His best advice to those look-ing to remodel is to have theprofessionals come out.

Give us a call and have ustake a look at it, Kearns said.Well draw up the options, and

see which way you like it andwhat pricing you prefer.

Getting past mentalroadblocks to fitness

As the second month of2010 comes to a close,

where do you stand withyour resolutions?

Have you made progress ordid your motivation fizzle out?

Most people wait around formotivation to strike them like alightning bolt.

Well, Ive got news: Motiva-tion isnt something that hap-pens to you its somethingthat you create for yourself.

If you dont feel motivated to

achieve your goals, it is likelydue to mental roadblocks thathold you hostage. Read the fol-lowing 21 Mindset Tips andprepare your mind for success.1. Success comes first in the

mind, so visualize yourselfaccomplishing your goals.2. Remember, you are the

only person who can hold youback.3. Forgive yourself and love

yourself despite past failures.

4. Decide what is importantin your life, and focus on that.5. Conquer each negative

thought the moment it entersyour mind, when it is weakest.

6. Give up the idea thatthings wont go right unless

you worry about them.7. If you bring the body of

your dreams to the point ofresolve, then youll soon be liv-ing in it.8.Look toward your future, if

you believe the best is yet tocome then it will be.9. You become what you

think about most.10.The margin between suc-

cess and failure is very smalland easily bridged by determi-nation.11. Start your day by accom-

plishing your hardest task first.12.Set small attainable goals,

rather than one monumentalgoal.13. Convince yourself that

exercise is fun, and it will be.14. Know your big reason

why.

15. Create a motivatingplaylist of songs to use as thesoundtrack to your workoutsessions.16. Every decision you make

leads you either closer towardachieving your goal, or fartherfrom it.17. If you think youre a fat

person, then youll stay fat. If you think youre fit, then yousoon will be.18. Once youve set your

goal, your attitude either push-es you toward accomplish-ment or failure.19. If you dont know exactly

where you want to go, you willlikely end up someplace else.20.You can have the body of

your dreams, but first youmust give up the belief that

you cant.21. You can only have two

things in life: excuses orresults.

If youre sick and tired ofmaking excuses, decide upon

your goal and take action.Its not the work thats hard,

its the discipline. Anony-mous.

Developing yourchilds characterO

ne of the most endearingthings about raising achild is helping him

develop character. We are notborn with character so itmakes it even more importantthat we take the responsibilityto cultivate it and weigh andevaluate influences. With a lotof thought and quality time, wecan make a difference in posi-tively developing the buildingblocks of our childs character.

Respect must be taughtand modeled

The child is often at the cen-ter of our attention. However, itis prudent to teach the child tobe respectful, for example, tonot interrupt. Waiting for per-mission for someone else tofinish talking is pertinent.

Even though multitaskinghas taken over our lives, oftendue to busy schedules, wemust give our child our full

attention if we want to buildcharacter. Be committed tostop, look lovingly into thechilds eyes and listen.

Family living must concen-trate on no put downs or use ofsarcasm, which eat away atself-esteem and character.

Put ourselves in our childsshoes

It isnt easy being a child.Lets take a moment to putourselves in our childs shoes.

With a tremendous amountof daily input, regardless of itsappropriateness, what ourchild sees and hears is mind-boggling. The child has to siftthrough input, make decisionsabout what he wants to doeach day and try to recall whatis expected of him so he doesnot get into trouble.

How did we feel about life athis age? What did we rely on tohelp us to cope and build char-acter? Share and discuss theseexperiences.

Teach responsibility foractions

We cannot expect our childto just automatically know

what to do or to always makethe right choices. We have toadmit as adults, scoring 100percent in making all the rightdecisions is a hefty goal.

Another example involves

knowing when to thank othersfor the simplest of things.Showing appreciation andgratitude is character building.

As adults, how do we expressgratitude? We need to take theopportunity to thank our childfor actions that demonstratehis good character

Show courageThere are times when we are

teaching character buildingthat we have to stand tall, bitethe lower lip and be strong

within ourselves and for oth-ers. We never know when thattime will come along, but

when its all said and done, thepositive feeling and enhancedrelationship are well worth theeffort.

Demonstrate honesty A good role model will do

whats right when no one islooking, such as being sincereand truthful and always stop-ping at stop signs. Withoutdemonstrating honesty, theother values are difficult tobuild and maintain. Through-

out our day, how can we let our words, actions and honestyspeak volumes?

Nuts and bolts ofcharacter

When it comes down to thenuts and bolts of character,first you have thoughts andthen they are spoken. Strongthoughts often become opin-ions and breed actions, occa-sionally regretful ones. Actionssoon become habits, good orbad, and when role modeledthey become the foundation ofour childs character.

Food for thought: In the longrun, our character can posi-tively determine our childsdestiny and character. Lookdeep inside because theanswers are there.

dent and a former educator.

Simply put, Sacramento-area residents have been hithard by the recession and thecollapse of the housing bubble.

Most of them are finding them-selves struggling to stay in theirhomes. Oftentimes, these folkscall me many months aftertheir financial trouble begins,perhaps making it harder tohelp them.

So how should they (or per-haps you) respond to suchfinancial difficulties?

Loan modificationThere are many companies,

some of them law firms, who

claim to be able to help youmodify your loan. Beware: This

industry has become highlyregulated, and some of thesecompanies are borderline ille-gal in the way they operate

The good news is that youcan negotiate with the bankson your own. However, thereare a few things you have to

know before trying this.First, the banks are frustrat-ing to work with. They willdemand a huge amount ofpaperwork. They will possiblylose your paperwork. They willeven find ways to buy timeand/or simply deny the modi-fication.

Persistence and keepingtrack of every conversation isthe key to facing the morass ofred tape. In defense of thebanks they are simply under-

staffed and overworked. Another consequence of

bank bureaucracy arises from your financial hardship. Thedelays the banks will imposebefore reviewing your paper-

work may force you intodefault on your loan beforethey will discuss modification.

Sadly, many times you haveto begin skipping payments

just to get their attention. Dur-ing this time, set money asideto serve as the seed money toget you a new payment plan.

Third, you must know thebanks purpose in giving a loanmodification. You will not get aloan modification if you have

no income, even though youneed help, since there is noway for you to be able to repaythe new monthly paymentamount. That is how the bank

will see the picture.

ForeclosureDuring the period when you

are negotiating your loan mod-ification, the bank will some-times begin foreclosure pro-ceedings against you.

This does not prevent you

from getting a modification. Infact, the debt collection law

firm that brings the foreclosureaction has no authority to set-tle the case, so the loan modifi-cation process will be one ofthe few routes allowing you tokeep your house.

Or, in some cases, the bor-rowers find a way to self-curetheir negative payments. Thismeans they borrow money orfind an alternative way to catchup on the past due payments.

Luckily for homeowners, theprocess for foreclosing on ahouse in California can be veryslow. We have heard recent sto-ries of this process taking any-

where from four to six monthsand sometimes much longer.If foreclosure proceedings

are started, do not avoid thebank notices or the collectionagencys letters. Communica-tion and understanding thelegal timelines are key!

Do you want to keepyour home?

For too many (if not all)homeowners, keeping posses-sion of their home is at least an

initial priority.Perhaps, though, the ques-

tion requires more considera-tion. Many people owe somuch more money on theirmortgage than the value oftheir home that even after amodification they will be pay-ing more for the home than anequivalent rental property.

They are, in a term that has

become commonplace,severely underwater and willlikely remain so for many yearsbarring a truly miraculous realestate comeback.

If the outstanding debt is toomuch to carry, there are choic-es on how to leave your homeafter falling behind.

One is to just walk away fromthe house and stop makingpayments. In my professionalopinion this is not the bestapproach.

A second approach is tonegotiate a short sale, whichmeans finding a buyer for what

the property is worth and thenpresenting it to the bank andasking them to waive the dif-ference. This is more proactive,and generally benefits all par-ties involved.

Whatever the case, this is your home. What I havelearned since the housing bub-ble burst and after assistingmany people through this cri-sis is that there is truth in thesaying (except I modified it alittle bit): Home is where the

heart is, not where you live!Also, always, consult with a

professional and licensed con-sultant who has your bestinterest in heart, not their ownpotential for financial gain.

Whats painted brownand white, but hasnever been touched by

a paintbrush?Tamara Coulsons stunning

paint horses, of course.Chestnut brown with shape-

ly white legs, or a dapple grey,spotted pony, the paints atCoulson Ranch are makingstrides in the paint horse

world.Coulson recently won theNovice Amateur Western Rid-ing Championship on herhorse A Subtle Impulse, alsoknown as Sudsy, a 14-year-oldgelding. The pair certainlymade an impression at the Fall

World Championship PaintHorse show in Texas lastNovember.

Paint horses, characterizedby their colorful coat patternsand bloodlines, are a popular

breed, and its easy to under-stand why.

The breed is known forbeing mild tempered forbeing really trainable, Coul-son said. The breed is justawesome.

Plenty of people agree. According to the AmericanPaint Horse Association,35,000 paint horses are regis-tered each year, and they haveregistered about one millionhorses in 59 nations and terri-tories since the association was

founded almost 50 years ago.And at Coulson Ranch, car-ing for horses is a family affair.

Between visits with horsetrainer Mike Davis, hay deliver-ies, and myriad ranch chores,the family of four keeps busy

with the hobby they love.With four horses, plus some

babies ponies that thefamily will eventually sell there are plenty of chores tokeep fifth grader Brennan andsecond grader Makenna occu-

pied.I feed horses, and I help

saddle and groom them,Brennan Coulson said.

But chores are just a smallpart of Brennan and Maken-nas involvement.

Brennan has earned two world champion titles of hisown, and recently passed hisfavorite horse, Haley, on to hislittle sister, who will competein the Walk and Trot Divisionthis year.

Tamara Coulson has always

admired the equine species.Her father had horses whenshe was growing up in South-ern California, and hes a mem-ber of a roping team, whichrequires travel to various com-petitions.

But Tamara spent much ofher youth in a figure skatingarena, not a horse arena.

My friends had horses, sowhen I was going to the rink, Ireally wanted to go with themto the stalls, she said.

The couple moved to Gran-ite Bay 11 years ago, started a

family, and purchased twoponies and an English drafthorse, also known as a Clydes-dale.

That wasnt the exact path we wanted to go, Tamarasaid. We met Julie ThompsonMartell, and ended up buyingour first paint horse from her.

Caring for horses hasbecome much more than ahobby.

We take it really seriously.Its our passion, Tamara said.This is what I do all day I getmy horses out, I ride them,and spend the day trainingthem. The kids are out a fewtimes a week, taking lessonson the horses, too.

And training the animals isserious business as well.

Mike Davis lives on site, andgives the horses 100 percent ofhis attention and the benefitof his expertise and years oftraining experience.

For every first place or sec-ond at a horse show, the horseaccumulates points, TamaraCoulson said.

And its the horses accumu-lation of points that makes itmore valuable.

Some people want tospend the money to buy a

horse thats already recog-nized as a winner, Tamarasaid.

Brian Coulson, the familypatriarch, has his hands in thehorse business as well.

With thoroughbreds in Ken-tucky and a partnership inEpic Racing, he enjoys the

family hobby and travels tocompetitions.

Tamara looks at acquiringhorses as a cycle.

Ill train horses for a coupleof years, then sell them to

make room for the babiescoming up. Then, Ill do it allover again.

Her secret wish is to makethe hobby her profession toown a larger place where thefamily would be able to takeon other peoples horses totrain as well.

Ive been doing this now for11 years, Ive learned so much,and would love to do it as abusiness, to let people share in

what I love, she said.But little Brennan has a

more simple, immediate goal.I feel like the horse is my

friend, and Im good to him,and we have fun, he said.Ive only showed my horse,Sudsy, a couple times this year,and Id really like to spendtime just getting to know him.

Were a team if hes doinggood, then Im doing good.

Theres nothing like explor-ing paradise, especially ona different continent.

Thats just what we did whenwe went to Costa Rica in 2005.In December of 2009, wereturned for a second trip toCosta Rica and a jaunt toNicaragua as well.

When you fly to Costa Rica,you arrive in the now-modernDaniel Oduber Quive Interna-tional Airport of Liberia.

A highlight of our stay andvisit to the colonial city ofLiberia was the Roca BrujaRestaurant at the Ocotol BeachResort. If you want deliciousdining under the stars seek outthe Father Rooster Restaurantin Playa Del Coco.

If you want an unbelievableroom, seek out the Four Sea-sons Resort in Guanacaste, the

Gold Coast the landscap-ing, rooms and pools arebreathtaking.

On our first trip we traveledby car for a memorable stay atLa Carolina Lodge in SanMiguel, Bijagua, in the north-

western outback of Costa Rica.Rustic and unbelievably fun

would describe this wonder-land. Their Web site depicts itsromantic nature. While admir-ing the colorful garden, we alsoobserved a slow-moving sloth

in a gigantic tree, a blue bellyiguana and rector bat, resi-dents of the lodge. Dining, we

were serenaded with soundsfrom a chirping cicada.

Being pampered, weplopped our feet up on the fire-place bricks, recounting our

jaunt in the unbelievably beau-tiful and not-to-be missed Par-que Nacional Volcan Tenorio.

After we hiked til wedropped, we cooled off in thesoothing natural pool. Back at

the lodge, reminiscing aboutthe native plants, bugs andintriguing geological forma-tions, we soaked in the hotsprings by the river. The nextmorning we saddled up for anincredible horseback ridearound the lush property madeup of a whopping 170 acres.

In 2005, we went on thePanamerican Highway for an85 kilometer ride to the Arenal

Volcano. Offering his wisdom,

our tour guide reported, Soci-ety is very happy. It is a won-derful country with food andgood weather. Our father is theU.S.

As if touched by a magical wand, staying in the ArenalObservatory Lodge near theParque National Volcan Teno-

rio, we had an unobstructedview of the Arenal Volcano.

We indulged in incrediblefood from the restaurant whiletumbling lava rocks, gases andhot lava spewed every 15 min-utes. Making a lasting impres-sion, we actually climbed onthe volcanic lava. We also tooka two-hour drive around thescenic Arnold Lake.

If you want to be indulged,and pleasantly invigorated, try

a mineral bath in the TabaconHot Springs Resort and Spa.

In 2009, we also exploredNicaragua, the land of lakesand volcanoes. We stronglyrecommend the wisdom of anexperienced tour guide and acheck on the drivers compe-tence. Our guide had unbeliev-

able driving skills, incredibleknowledge and the astutenessto get us through customs he was worth every penny.

We soon became impressedwith Nicaragua, a country ofproud, educated people wholive and breathe their cultural-ly strong folklore, music andreligious traditions.

Dramatic barely describesthe vast areas of untouchednatural beauty in its national

parks and antiquated cities.Points of interest are the cap-

ital city of Managua dontmiss the National Palace, Fine

Arts Palace and GovernmentHouse. In nearby Masaya, wevisited the Vulcano MasayaNational Park.

Standing on the ridge, we

watched the red lava burningas we smelled its pungent sul-fur. The unique museum at thepark was well worth the visit.

We also explored the churchesand old buildings of Leon andthe colonial city of Granada.

One of our best experienceswas an exciting La Isletas boattour on Lake Nicaragua. We

witnessed the small volcanictropical islands with theirgrandiose mansions. Only half

of them are inhabited.One island, La Isla de los

Monos, was loaded with petmonkeys who had beendropped off by previous own-ers. They thrived on their free-dom, begging for handouts asthey performed hystericalantics. On our travels we fol-

lowed some of the TempiscaRiver, which is 99 miles long. Itis the most important river inNicaragua. The farmersdepend on it for irrigation.

The beauty of both CostaRica and Nicaragua and thegracious nature of their peopleleave us wanting to come backfor just a little bit more.
