Terence Church, Bay Area IP Attorney
Terence has a background as a business attorney. He used to be a senior legal executive with Fortune 500 companies. He is very qualified.
But many people might not know what what an “IP Attorney” does or is. In fact I didn’t really know until it was explained to me.
Basically intellectual property refers to the rights to legal properties which are considered to be, as Wikipedia puts it, “creations of the mind.” If it’s either an artistic creation or a some commercial process that you have, IP attorneys help you to protect your creations, ideas and processes. For example, if you have a special process for making a new flavor of ice cream, an IP attorney can help you to trademark your name and patent your process, recipe or special machinery you might have built.
Basically it takes a very specialized and knowledgable attorney or lawyer to become an IP attorney. They have to have a large knowledge base to be able to navigate so may different facets of the law. They also to have common businesses sense and to know how to properly advise small and large businesses with their own business strategies.
Terence also helps clients increase their revenues through contract negotiation, strategic partnerships and corporate maintenance programs. Terence Church serves his clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area including San Jose, Oakland, and Walnut Creek, Ca.

The Spa of Cool Springs In Franklin, TN | A Day Spa With Family Values
February 24, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop
We’ve all heard of the family run business. Usually a favorite restaurant or auto repair shop or some other local ‘brick and morter’ business, your favorite family run businesses usually have some of the best products, services and customer support because they pay attention to detail and they care.
But you might not think of a day spa as fitting into this category. Not yet at least…
The Spa of Cool Springs has a really great story about their business. The have the whole family involved.
Everyone in the Wysocki family helps out down at The Spa of Cool Springs. Everyone from their 17 year old Charlie to their 13 year old Christopher helps out at the spa. They have all been giving massages since they were little. And they’ve all been receiving massages since they were little. This is the massaging family! :-) Needless to say, you don’t have to worry about a lack of experience at the Spa of Cool Springs.
And massage is great for stress relief as well as therapeutically. For example, they work with challenged children. They work with children with ADD and ADHD for example, to help them manage their symptoms and lower their overall stress level. And many children get a world of benefits from their massage therapy sessions. It can be a good alternative or aid to many over the counter drugs and prescriptions.
They offer other services like heat stone therapy, facials, and waxing too. You can visit their CityScoop website for more information about massage therapy and get other free helpful tips and promotions from The Spa of Cool Springs:

SCR Auto Center Does EVERYTHING: Auto Body, Car Repair, Transmissions And More
February 23, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
SCR Auto Center in Hayward, California is a true full service auto body and repair shop.
Many people don’t know that when you wreck your car there are typically two companies that are involved with the repair process. One company handles the body work and another company repairs the insides of the car: engine, transmission, frame, etc.
Because many auto service businesses are specialized into auto repair and auto body, many of these non-competing businesses work together. They refer customers to each other because they know the business well and trust their work.
But at SCR Auto Repair Center you get an all in one, full service, one stop shop facility.
Located in Hayward and right off of freeways 580 and 238, SCR Auto Repair Center is a BIG facility. When you turn left onto Rufus Court you enter the center. You enter immediately because they own the whole block. It’s a court with a dead end circle that combines 3 or 4 buildings into one giant center.
You should go check it out.

Lehmer’s Buick Pontiac GMCof Concord, California is the city’s oldest family owned business. In 1928, Lewis Lehmer opened an auto service station and garage in Concord, CA on the corners of Cowell Road and Galindo. Their business grew in the community and became known as the place in town for top notch honest work.

Butler and Associates | Professional Bay Area Privite Investigations Firm
February 13, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
We’ve all heard of a Private “I” or a Private Investigator. But most people don’t know about how the industry is segmented a bit. On one side you’ve got private investigations firms that deal largely with just insurance claims. Then there are firms that specialize in infidelity cases and mainly provide smaller solutions to individuals with smaller needs. And then there’s Butler and Associates…
Surveillance, CCTV Cameras, Hidden Cameras, Workers Compensation Cases, Infidelity, Bodyguards, Child Custody, Computer Forensics, Undercover Sting Operations, and just about anything else in the private investigations field - they can do.
Butler and Associates aren’t your average investigators in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. Not even close. To give you an idea, the head mastermind in their firm has a track record and professional accomplishment list that you’ll look twice at:
- Law Enforcement Officer - S.W.A.T. Team Position for 9 years
- Worked with FBI agents, USSS agents, and IRS agents
- Implemented security protocol for Fortune 500 companies in Las Vegas, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Chicago, and the West Indies.
- And have provided Hollywood celebrities, top CEOs and your every day local billionaire down the street with personal bodyguard services for many years.
In short, there really isn’t much that Butler and Associates can’t do or haven’t already done. They publish free information, tips, examples of jobs they’ve done, and demonstrations of the products and services they offer at their CityScoop website.

AAMCO of Walnut Creek, CA | Complete Auto Repair Shop: Not Just Transmission Repairs
February 12, 2009
AA - Beep Beep! - MCO
__________________________________________
We all know the tag line. We trust the tag line because we trust the name. And we trust the name because the work is always good. You probably know the work is good, but maybe you didn’t know the work was good because AAMCO has a system to qualify all their franchise owners to make sure they are top professionals in their industry.
But what most people don’t know about AAMCO (at least in my neck of the woods, the East Bay Area of California), is that AAMCO does a whole lot more than just work on transmissions. They are a complete car car care service center, specializing in every aspect of the car: auto repair, collision repair and transmission repairs. And the theory goes:
“The transmission is the most complicated and complex part on the entire car - not the engine. So if people can trust us with the most complicated part of the car - which they can - then surely they can trust us with the rest of the car - which they can.“
- (Paraphrasing) Derek Tinder
AAMCO of Walnut Creek, CA, owned and operated by Derek Tinder and Steven Phillips, publishes free tips, help guides, services information and special promotions at their CityScoop website. You can visit their CityScoop site by clicking the link below:
