Shadow Recruit—Entertaining
You can pine away for Alec
Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben
Affleck, all of whom have
played Tom Clancy’s roguish
and macho CIA operator…but,
I’m here to tell you, pine no
more as the vacated spot has
been filled by the very capable,
Chris Pine.
Pine actually grows into the
role as Shadow Recruit progresses and before the end titles
roll, he assumes Ryan’s persona
very well. Assisting him is his fiancé, Keira Knightley, a
serendipitous and delicate
touch to the franchise.
Kenneth Branagh does a
very credible job directing the
non-stop action and excels (of
course) as a ruthless Russian billionaire who sets his sights on
destroying America’s economy.
The fact that America can
do the job by itself is a no brainer, but the drama and intensity
of Ryan, ably assisted by his su

perior (a terrific Kevin Costner),
would not have played out as
well as it did as having Russia as
the villain du jour.
Shadow Recruit like most of
the movies of this genre, has the
usual non-sensible coincidences and haphazard silliness
to further the action. But, towards the end, there is an unconscionable chance happening that spoiled the fun I was
having until that moment. Nevertheless, it kept my interest for
a major part of the film especially since there wasn’t any gratuitous sex nor F- bombs. It was
just a straight forward entertaining movie that doesn’t take itself
too seriously.

Senior Services LA Eases Transitions For Baby Boomers And Their Parents
By Victoria Talbot
A growing number of
baby-boomers find themselves
caring for aging parents with
emerging end-of-life issues.
The health and well being of
our parents is primary, of
course, but what will happen
to their home and estate? The
reality is that when the time
comes to make those decisions, time is of the essence,
and often, our decisions are
based more on expediency
than effective marketing and
pricing strategies.
Sometimes our parents
have occupied a home for
decades, accruing a lifetime of

artifacts. As health declines
maintenance is often deferred.
Over time mementos achieve a
precious significance rooted in
personal history and reflective
of the age and experience of
the owner. In Beverly Hills especially, many seniors have
lived in their homes for
decades.
But the accumulation of a
lifetime can quickly become
an unwelcomed added burden
in the event of illness or death.

your senior in their home as

Conlon To Lecture On Britten’s Debt To English Literature
In three free public lectures
at UCLA, conductor James
Conlon, music director of the LA
Opera, will discuss the debt
British composer Benjamin
Britten owes to English literature. Britten (1913-1976) is
believed to have written more
operas based on English literature than any other composer.
He also set a variety of English
poetry to music, including
works by his close friend W.H.
Auden and John Donne.
The talks are sponsored by
LA Opera, UCLA’s departments
of musicology and comparative
literature, the R.U. Nelson Fund,
the Friends of English, the
Center for European and
Eurasian Studies, and the
Program
in
Experimental
Critical Theory.
The lectures will be at 7
p.m., Thursdays, Feb. 6 and 13
at UCLA’s Royce Hall, Room
314 and at 5 p.m., Thursday,
Feb. 20 at the school’s Young
Research Library, Room 11364.
Parking on campus costs
$12.
Conlon's lectures are part
the Britten 100/LA city-wide celebration of the centennial of
Britten’s birth. The talks immediately precede LA Opera’s Feb.
22 performance of the composer's Billy Budd, based on
Herman Melville’s final novel.
The performance concludes the
company’s three-year celebration of the English composer's
legacy.

Regents’ lecturer.

Children’s Ear Infections Cost Health
System Nearly $3 Billion A Year, Study Says
Acute otitis media (AOM),
or ear infection, is the most
common ailment among kids of
preschool age and younger in
the U.S., primarily because
these children have immature
middle-ear drainage systems,
higher exposure to respiratory
illnesses and undeveloped
immune systems.
And because it’s also the
most common reason for antibiotic use among all children, the
costs associated with ear infections are under more scrutiny
than ever by healthcare and
government administrators.
While estimates of the economic impact of AOM have
been formulated in the past, a
new study by UCLA and
Harvard University researchers
is the first to use a national population database that gives a
direct, head-to-head comparison of expenditures for pediatric
patients diagnosed with ear
infections and similar patients
without ear infections.
The findings show that
AOM is associated with significant increases in direct costs
incurred by consumers and the
health care system. With its high
prevalence across the U.S.,

For Prostate Cancer Patients On Low-Fat Fish
Oil Diet, Its A Case Of You Are What You Eat
Men with prostate cancer
who ate a low-fat diet and took
fish oil supplements had lower
levels of pro-inflammatory substances in their blood and a
lower cell cycle progression
score, a measure used to predict
cancer recurrence, than men
who ate a typical Western diet,
UCLA researchers found.
The findings are important
because lowering the cell cycle
progression (CCP) score may
help prevent prostate cancers
from becoming more aggressive,
said study lead author William
Aronson, a clinical professor of
urology at UCLA and chief of
urologic oncology at the West
Los Angeles Veterans Affairs
Medical Center.
“We found that CCP scores
were significantly lower in the
prostate cancer in men who
consumed the low-fat fish oil
diet as compare to men who followed a higher fat Western
diet,” Aronson said.
“We also found that men on
the low-fat fish oil diet had
reduced blood levels of proinflammatory substances that
have been associated with cancer.”
This study appeared in
online edition of Cancer
Prevention Research, a peerreviewed journal of the
American
Association
for
Cancer Research.
The study is a follow-up to a
study by Aronson and his team
last year that found a low-fat

eaten for four to six weeks
before prostate removal slowed

On Being Honest About Pornography, Finding Love In ’14
Q. Dear Dr. Fran: How does being
honest about pornography consumption with a partner lead to
greater relationship satisfaction?
Jack S.
A. Dear Jack: Okay now, you’ve
got to come clean with me….or at
least with yourself. Is one of you a
little kinky while the other isn’t?
I’ve heard everything in my private
practice from obsessions with feet,
toes, armpits, belly buttons, on and
on. More specific info would be
helpful.
Being honest about pornography use with a partner indicates
the person is comfortable with
their own sexuality and the things
that sexually titillate, stimulate,
arouse and turn-on their excitation.
Secrecy about pornography
consumption can be felt as a
betrayal and raise mistrust, suspicions, and put a wedge of distance
between the partners. Therefore,
honesty is required, and open dialogue is the glue that holds people
together which leads to greater
relationship satisfaction.
In a case where a partner
would need to come forward
about their pornography consumption a few questions come to mind.
Why it is that it was kept discreet
in the first place? Is it because their
partner is inhibited and might
judge them for this type of behavior? Does the person feel shame
about their pornography usage?
These are important questions
to ponder. Depending on the
answers the individual comes up
with it may or may not be so easy
to talk to their partner about this.
Sometimes, it helps to retain

the services of an experienced
therapist or counselor to help the
couple open dialogue about their
sexual likes and dislikes.
Often, it takes a skilled professional to do a thorough dating and
sexual history with each partner to
help each one assess themselves.
When both partners are equally
open sexually and emotionally it
can be exciting wonderful foreplay
to watch pornography together.
Often, watching can stimulate
ideas, themes, and scenarios that
can illicit spontaneity and adventure for the couple.
Q. Dear Dr. Fran: I haven’t been in
a relationship in a long time. I am
ready. I need help. How can I
begin to find a good guy? Sandy A.
A. Dear Sandy: If you’re ready to
search and find love this year, here
are some thoughts to keep in mind.
1.) Take an look within. Ask
yourself if you truly want to be in a
“day in, day out” relationship with
someone. Some people think they
want to be involved but when it
comes down to wrestling with
conflict day in and day out they
run like the wind.
2.) Adopt a new attitude
change. You will need to create an
openness to the folks you want to
attract. This includes becoming a
good observer. Keenly be aware of
others around you and look for
potential love objects in the supermarket, bank, car wash, park,
library, and so forth.
3.) Hone in on your eye-contact. The best way to attract someone is to look at them directly with
a smile and show interest.
4.) Create an air of mystery.
People love a sense of pursuit...as
if there’s more behind you to get to
know and discover.
5.) Don’t come on forcefully
like ball busters. You will be
viewed as desperate. Show interest
with clarity, but be gentle.
6.) Don’t oversell yourself by
bragging and reciting your resume.
Rather, ask the other person questions about them. People love to
talk about themselves. It’s a great
way to get to know someone.
7.) Consider joining an online
dating site. If you find that you
have trouble meeting people out in
the world around you, you may
have better luck on the web.
8.) Tell friends and acquaintances you’re “looking.” See if they
know someone great for you.
9.) Don’ expect “perfection.”
It doesn’t exist. Expect to find
someone with good character,
ethics, and morals whose flaws
match well with yours.
10.) Be prepared to date, date,
date. Finding love is like shopping
for clothes. Sometimes, you have
to try on lots of outfits until you
find the right fit.

hancement considerations.
Psomas engineers have
recommended widening the
street to a standard 66 feet.
Currently it ranges between 60
and 63 feet. Widening may
ease construction woes and
lower expenses by providing
traffic flow.
Under consideration are
green medians in strategic locations that do not impede
safety and emergency vehicles;
bus turn-out lanes, which have
been rejected by the MTA and
bus shelters, benches and other
enhanced street furniture options.
“Cost is not our issue,” said
Pressman. “This is very preliminary.”
The committee will vote on
Jan. 22.
has been tasked with exploring
these ideas with the public and
Psomas, Engineering.
At the Jan. 8 meeting public comment centered on the
addition of a bike lane, said
Committee Chair Dr. Barry
Pressman, though it was intended to cover all the proposed enhancements. Proponents were present in numbers
to argue for the enhancement
on North Santa Monica Boulevard.
“We owe it to the world”
said resident and bike enthusiast Barbara Lindner. Beverly
Hills should take the lead in
showing, “surrounding communities and the rest of the
world” efforts to, “reduce our
carbon footprints,” she said.
Many residents in a previ-
ous meeting expressed strong
opposition to a bike lane, especially because the design
would take green space from
the Beverly Gardens Park.
“That is simply not acceptable,” said Robert Tanenbaum,
a former mayor. In addition, he
said there were safety issues on
Santa Monica. Other east-west
routes might be safer. And he
pointed out, it is expensive.
The suggested enhancements will be evaluated upon
completion of the exploration
of the project’s primary scope
and intent. At that time, engineers will be able to more accurately assess the nature of repairs needed and the expense
involved. Those parameters will
inform the project further and
provide a backdrop for any en-
phylla, and commonly referred
to as a Banyan tree for its
longevity, beauty and robustness.
A Banyan tree occupies the
Northwest corner of the same
park, spreading its luxurious
limbs across the pond where it
has shaded residents for generations. The corner tree is 104
years old and bears a trunk
scarred with scores of signatures from those many residents.
Once the committee had
selected the species, the task
was to find an excellent speci-
men. The particular species is
difficult to obtain because it
grows so large that it is difficult
to store for years at a nursery.
After a lot of searching,
Pfalzgraf found a healthy 12-14
year old specimen at a commercial nursery located in
Riverside.
The tree was then shipped
to a City contract nursery in
Santa Ana and temporarily
transferred to a larger holding
box.
Then, unfortunately, a
windstorm blew the tree over
and damaged it. A branch was
broken and the tree received a
large gash in the trunk.
Committee members went
to inspect the tree. “We all
agreed that it would not affect
the tree’s health or growth potential,” said Committee CoChairs Donna and Ray Flade.
As a welcome gesture for
the new tree, Committee members tied a large yellow ribbon
around its trunk, “to let her
know that she was home,” said
Flade. They are looking forward
to the tree’s Dedication Ceremony a week from Sunday.
instrumental in changing the
face of cancer and cancer re-
search,” says Anton J. Bilchik,
MD, PhD, JWCI’s chief of medicine and gastrointestinal research.
“His contributions have been
monumental, literally saving
countless lives.”
Born Sept. 12, 1934 in
West Virginia and raised in a
small coal-mining town, Dr.
Morton attended Berea College, UC Berkeley, and UC San
Francisco Medical School. At
the National Cancer Institute in
1960, he began a lifelong study
of melanoma.
He developed the sentinel
node biopsy technique used in
melanoma, breast and other
cancers, saving the U.S. healthcare system $3.8 billion annually in countless unnecessary
operations.
Dr. Morton's scientific contributions towards the immunology and surgical oncology yielded more than 1,000 authored publications in peer-reviewed journals and garnered
him prestigious awards and
honors, including recognition
by the Cancer Research Institute of New York, one of the pioneers in tumor immunolog.,
He is listed in Current Contents
as one of the most quoted contemporary scientists, and he received MD Anderson's Jeffrey
A. Gottlieb Memorial Award
for cancer therapeutic research.
He is a recent past president of the Society of Surgical
Oncology and the World Federation of Surgical Oncology
Societies. He served on numerous review committees for the
National Cancer Institute and
the American Cancer Society
and trained more than 135 fellows, of which 80 percent are
in leadership roles in academic
institutions or major cancer
centers.
Dr. Morton found his patients and their plights an ongoing source of inspiration and
the reason he remained impassioned in finding a cure for
cancer.
Dr. Morton is survived by
his wife of 25 years, Lorraine;
daughters Danielle Morton,
Christin Kazmierczak, Laura
Morton Rowe, Diana Morton
McAlpine, and son Donald L.

Vibrant Living At Vintage
Westwood Horizons
intage Westwood Horizons is a
“vibrant living environment for older
adults,” says Ferri Fathi, executive
director.
With its emphasis on active living,
the Vintage community offers enough to
keep residents as busy as they choose.
There are programs to meet physical
and spiritual needs; and to foster friendship and companionship through shared
hobbies and interests—plus entertainment. Weekly musical programs often
range from classical, to hits from the
‘50s and jazz bands.
Opera and movie clubs, as well as
bridge and poker groups are just some
examples of residents organizing themselves and sharing their passions. The
opera club is led by a knowledgeable resident, who with his committee, chooses
the opera and leads the analysis and discussion of the work and composer.
Guest speaker topics are also popular within the community, their topics
often range from health care to world politics.
Weekly trips to museums, movies
and shows are also popular among the
Vintage residents.
The community’s location, in the
sought-after heart-of-Westwood Village,
is also within walking distance to shopping centers, restaurants and New Yorkstyle delis, the UCLA Medical Center and
medical offices on Westwood Plaza are
also just a short distance from the community.
“Residents don’t have to travel anywhere to go when they want,” says Fathi.
V
With two shuttles and a van there’s
scheduled transpor tation to appointments, shopping trips and errands and
a private limo service is always available
for those off-schedule trips.
The 14-story building offers spacious
and sunny apartments ranging from studio to two bedrooms with views of the
Santa Monica hills and downtown L.A.
The ser vices at Vintage Westwood
Horizons include housekeeping, linens,
security, building upkeep and three
meals a day in the dining room (always
with delectable choices).
The food ser vice manager is a
trained culinar y-school graduate, and
“the chef’s food is spectacular,” Fathi
adds.
The 200 residents are “a lively
selection of well-educated seniors
who’ve led and still lead productive
lives,” says Fathi.
The caring staff, many with the company for more than 20 years, “is tuned in
to the community, and quite skilled at
meeting the expectations of our discerning, savvy residents,” says Fathi. “They
build bonds and friendship and look after
our residents as they would with their
own loved ones.”
Fathi recently had lunch with a couple that praised the staff and said they
were “fortunate to have found us.”
And residents don’t ever have to
leave. They can receive help through private agencies, “and age in place as they
continue to live an enjoyable life,” Fathi
adds. For more information: www.vintagesenior.com, 310-341-4364
How To know When It’s Time For
Assisted Living— Belmont Village Senior
Living Shares Early Warning Signs
Making the decision
to explore assisted living
for a parent or loved one
is a big step, and knowing
when and how to take
that step can be a challenge.
Seniors
don’t
always realize or accept
that they may need more
help and family members
aren’t always aware that
the need exists until a crisis occurs.
However,
there are some common
indicators that can help
family members know
when it’s time to start
thinking about assisted
living for their loved one.
“Spending a few days
with an aging parent or loved one is a
good way to see how they’re doing and
where they might need a little more suppor t,” said Beverly Sanborn, LCSW,
gerontologist for Belmont Village. “We
often hear from family members after the
holidays – they’ve seen signs of concern
that aren’t readily apparent in routine
phone calls or quick visits.”
Sanborn shares the following warning signs to recognize that a parent or
loved one may need more support:
• Short term memory loss – slow
recall or information retrieval
• Forgetting to pay bills, not managing personal affairs
• Lack of follow-through on tasks
• Issue avoidance – talks around a
subject because of lack of understanding
• Disorientation of time and place
• Loss of judgment
– taking an illogical or
out-of-character
approach to problem
solving
• Weight loss – not
cooking for self or eating regularly
• Poor home maintenance – dirty dishes,
unwashed laundry, and
clutter
• A change in personal hygiene – not
bathing regularly, wearing the same clothes
repeatedly
without
washing
• Not taking medication or taking it
improperly
• Losing touch with friends
• No longer participating in favorite
activities
• Avoiding social situations
• Showing signs of depression—
sleeping or crying
“Changes can be subtle for some.
Signs can vary and so can their level of
intensity,” says Sanborn. “If the signs
are consistent and on-going, it’s an indication that the senior’s safety may be in
danger. An assessment is in order at this
point – both for your loved one’s safety
and your own peace of mind.”

Bill Crouch, Urban Planner for
the City of Beverly Hills, have
been exploring ways to further
sweeten the deal. Incentive
programs have been established on the federal, state and
local levels. They will present
their findings to the City Council at their meeting on January
21.
The Mills Act program has
been a very successful twoyear pilot program that affords
the property owners significant
tax credits for the duration of
the ten-year contract in ex-
change for continued preservation. The City is currently in
negations with the Beverly
Hills Unified School District to
discover ways to mitigate an
exchange for the lost revenue
to schools that might include
cultural and historic educational opportunities.
Another Federal Tax Credit
program is also available for
properties that are listed on the
National Register or built prior
to 1936. Owners must apply
for the National Register designation and the tax credits, but
it could mean 10-20 percent in
savings.
Other financial incentives
may include fee waivers and
deductions for building permit
fees, in-lieu parking and Conservation Façade Easements.
The easements would allow a
tax deduction in exchange for
donating a part of a historic
property to a qualified preservation organization (considered a charitable donation) to
oversee preservation.
The California State Historic Building Code recognizes
that historic buildings have
unique qualities and provides
for flexible alternatives to preserve historic properties. Adaptive Re-use, as the Wallis has
done with the Old Beverly
Hills Post Office (A Mills Act
Contract property), is another
possible incentive. Such an ordinance could be used to modify zoning to accommodate
conversions of existing buildings for new uses.
These are a few of tools
that are being mulled over in
the Cultural Heritage toolbox.
may be too broad. Stephen
Breyer asked Massachusetts'
lawyer Jennifer Miller if state
legislators had distinguished
the difference between those
who wished to conduct "calm

intended to disrupt. Anti-abor-

violates their rights to free
speech.
The law was created fol-
lowing the 1994 incident in
which two abortion clinic
workers were killed outside a
clinic in Brookline, Mass.

The $75 service includes

application, 7 days of rental,
and a self-addressed stamped
envelope to return the exten-

If the client wishes only to

against AIDS at the 4th annual Inspiration Gala Los Angeles. The
event, presented by M.A.C Viva Glam, raised $3.5 million for the
nonprofit amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.
Comedian and best-selling author Chelsea Handler hosted the
event at Milk Studios for the second consecutive year. The night
was filled with heartfelt tributes to the Award of Inspiration honorees, and culminated in an unprecedented display of generosity by
Aileen Getty, who gave an impromptu $1 million donation towards
amfAR’s research efforts to find a cure for AIDS. amfAR Global
Fundraising Chairman Sharon Stone announced the donation on
stage, and called for people in the crowd to stand with Getty in
bringing the epidemic to a close by making pledges toward a fund
in Aileen Getty’s name. An overwhelming number of guests made
pledges, generating more than an additional $1 million for amfAR.
Earlier, Sharon presented Aileen with her award, praising remarkable grace she displayed in choosing to become a passionate
leader in the fight against AIDS. The latter accepted the award in
honor of the late Elizabeth Taylor, her mother-in-law, who “used the
power of love and acceptance to inspire and demand action.”
Oscar-winning Goldie Hawn, a dedicated supporter of amfAR,
was presented with her award by longtime pal Lily Tomlin. Actor
Teddy Sears presented the “Award of Inspiration” to Mark Brashear
and Ward Simmons, who accepted on behalf of Hugo Boss, a company committed to philanthropy, and generous support of amfAR.
The legendary Grace Jones capped off the night with a muchloved rendition of La Vie En Rose, and her iconic hits Pull Up To The
Bumper and Slave To The Rhythm. Rich Ross chaired the event
alongside David Bohnett, John Demsey, Tim Hanlon, and Rebecca
Wang, with Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson, Kenneth Cole, and Elisabeth Murdoch serving as honorary chairs. Presenting Sponsors
were Wells Fargo and M.A.C Viva Glam, Microsoft was the official
technology partner, and the hotel partner was Chateau Marmont.

ASTROLOGY
by Holiday Mathis
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Jan. 17). Your
enthusiasm for a February project will
be catching and will net you friends
and fans. March brings events so interesting they could go into a book. You’ll
help someone heal in May. Professional
opportunities won’t be obvious. Look
deeply into your work to see where you
can make a difference. Be innovative.
Leo and Taurus people adore you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re
all business in the early part of the day,
but when evening hits, you will find
you can be happy without a purpose,
joyful for no reason and satisfied without an agenda.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The truth
will be all you need to break the code
that once kept certain doors closed to
you. Call it as you see it, and you’ll be
let in–to a club, a heart or a sweet deal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20). Relationships will demand your maturity and
inner poise. Even though this is your
personal life, nothing is really personal
about it. What you have here is a conflict of interest.
ARIES (Mar. 21-Apr. 19). You’re in an
outgoing mood, and you'll add to your
friendship base. Having more friends
doesn't make you a better person, but it
does make you a person with more
options.
TAURUS (Apr. 20-May 20). There’s
something you need to get out of your
head and into words. Start on paper. It’s
better than waiting for things to slip out
sloppily in an unguarded moment.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). No one
likes to be put through life’s characterbuilding exercises, but everyone who
completes them is better off for the
experience. Strive to be wiser than the
others––and also more modest so
they'll never know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your friend
will be very consistent in his or her
behavior, and this predictability is part
of what makes the relationship good.
You deserve to be around people you
can depend on.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One thing
you've learned from your history with a
certain person is there is something you
haven't learned. There has to be a reason why you're willing to repeat a pattern despite less than optimum results.
Maybe that reason is love.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will
succeed because you say you will in a
private you-to-you conversation. That's
why it’s crucial to take time before and
after events for a private briefing and
debriefing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you love a
game, you love its rules. What is a game
without them? You will get into the
minutiae of a scenario and enjoy examining the small details, some of which
have a big impact.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The jokes
of comedians often fall flat in their
retelling by lay-people. Similarly, what
you’re doing seems deceptively simple,
but there are nuances involved that
only you can make work.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Excellent guests never come early to the
party. That’s how you feel about the
events of a relationship. You’re not
afraid of the future, but you want it to
arrive in a timely manner.

Trust in the property situated in said County
and State described as:
Completely described in
said deed of trust The
street address and other
common designation, if
any, of the real property
described above is purported to be: 7724
Lexington Ave West
Hollywood CA 900466213 The undersigned
Trustee disclaims any
liability for any incorrectness of the street
address and other common designation, if any,
shown herein. Said sale
will be held, but without
covenant or warranty,
express or implied,
regarding title, possession,
condition
or
encumbrances, including fees, charges and
expenses of the Trustee
and of the trusts created
by said Deed of Trust, to
pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s)
secured by said Deed of
Trust. The total amount
of the unpaid balance of
the obligation secured
by the property to be

estimated
costs,
expenses and advances
at the time of the initial
publication of the Notice
of Sale is: $875,339.83.
If the Trustee is unable
to convey title for any
reason, the successful
bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the
return of monies paid to
the Trustee, and the
successful bidder shall
have
no
further
recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of
Trust heretofore 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.
NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you
are considering bidding
on this property lien, you
should understand that
there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee
auction. 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 these
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 call
(619)590-1221 or visit
the internet website "
www.dlppllc.com, using
the
file
number
assigned to this case
1 1 7 7 6 2 5 - 3 1 .
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 Internet Web Site.
The best way to verify
postponement information is to attend the
scheduled sale. For
