• Website: www.ChattanoogaOnStage.com.
Other than an occasional rendition of "Pomp and Circumstance" at a local high school's commencement, Chattanoogans rarely have the opportunity to hear the Tivoli Theatre's Wurlitzer pipe organ played.
That changes Saturday night, Aug. 23.
Ken Double of Atlanta, national president of the American Theatre Organ Society, will be in town to play the Wurlitzer, providing background music and sound effects for the silent film "The General." The movie screening celebrates the 90th anniversary of the installation of the Wurlitzer in the Tivoli by showcasing the organ as it was originally meant for use.
"It's wonderful that this organ still resides in its original home," Double says.
When the theater organ was installed in 1924, it was played for civic programs, provided the soundtrack and sound effects for silent movies and for other musical performances at the Tivoli. The Austin pipe organ in Memorial Auditorium was also installed that year, but the Tivoli's Wurlitzer is about 17 percent of the size of the Austin, says Jeff Scofield, co-chairman of the Chattanooga Music Club's auditorium advisory committee, which oversees maintenance of the Austin organ.
"Now there are less than 100 theater organs left in the United States like the one in the Tivoli," Scofield says of the Wurlitzer. The Wurlitzer is maintained by members of the Atlanta chapter of the American Theatre Organ Society, many of whom live in this area. The Atlanta chapter of ATOS is partnering with the Chattanooga Music Club and Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum to present Saturday's movie party.
"The General," starring Buster Keaton, is ranked No. 18 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 Best American Movies of All Time. It's a natural choice for this birthday party because of Chattanooga's railroad history and the city's ties to the 1862 Great Locomotive Chase when Andrews' Raiders commandeered the train in North Georgia and took it northward to Chattanooga.
"It's one of the funniest movies I've seen, sound or silent," says Scofield. "Keaton does all his own stunts and was pretty seriously injured doing some of them. It's a lot of fun, a unique experience to hear with the organ accompaniment As far as public events, it's been decades since the Wurlitzer was played for the public. It's an honor to have Ken Double come to Chattanooga to play the Wurlitzer."
Scofield points out that since there is no score to "The General," it's up to Double to create one. He improvises his own "soundtrack" while simultaneously watching the movie.
"He gets his sound cues from the action. He creates the mood with the organ," explains Scofield.

Premenstrual Syndrome
(PMS; Premenstrual Tension Syndrome; Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder; PMDD; Late Luteal Phase Dysphoric Disorder)En Español (Spanish Version)More InDepth Information on This Condition
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a disorder marked by physical and emotional symptoms. It affects women one or two weeks before the beginning of their menstrual period.
The Menstrual Flow
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
The cause is unknown. A combination of environmental, metabolic, and behavioral factors may make women vulnerable to the hormonal changes linked to menstruation. A brain chemical, serotonin, may play a role in severe forms of PMS .
Risk Factors
These factors increase your chance of developing PMS. Tell your doctor if you have any of these risk factors:
- Age: 25-40
- Going off birth control pills
- Major life stress
- Depression
If you have any of these symptoms do not assume it is due to PMS. These symptoms may be caused by other conditions. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Irritability
- Mood swings
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Diminished self-esteem
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sleep problems
- Appetite changes (sugar and/or salt cravings, overeating)
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Bloating
- Headache
- Breast swelling and tenderness
- Palpitations
- Dizziness
- Gastrointestinal upset
- Diffuse muscle pain
Symptoms improve when bleeding starts (menstrual period).
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam.
Keep a record of your monthly physical and emotional symptoms. These symptoms will likely occur 1-2 weeks before your menstrual period. You may have PMS when symptoms occur at the same phase of the menstrual cycle each month.
Many treatments have been used to relieve symptoms. No one treatment has been found to always be effective for all symptoms. Treating one or two symptoms may improve the whole syndrome. Treatments include:
Stress Management
Stress may be managed through lifestyle changes. Relaxation techniques, deep breathing, massage, music, and hot baths can also help reduce stress.
Dietary Changes
Dietary changes may be helpful. They include decreasing intake of salt, sugar, and caffeine. Caffeine is found in coffee, tea, cola, diet sodas, and chocolate. Eating small, frequent meals may also help.
Vitamins and Minerals
The following vitamin and mineral supplements might reduce PMS symptoms:
Regular Exercise
Research suggests that women who engage in moderate activity suffer less PMS-related symptoms than sedentary women.
Diuretics can reduce bloating and fluid retention. Prostaglandin inhibitors, such as Motrin , can relieve cramps, headaches, and muscle aches.
Oral Contraceptives
Combined oral contraceptives may help physical symptoms linked to PMS. You may need to try several brands before finding one that helps. Progesterone alone may also help some women.
Antidepressants, such as Zoloft and Prozac , are helpful in managing depression linked to PMS.
Sexual Activity With Orgasm
Sexual activity (including masturbation) may relieve aching muscles and sluggish circulation. It moves blood and fluids away from congested organs.
Women with severe PMS symptoms may benefit from cognitive (behavioral) therapy . Therapy may reduce negative emotions and enhance problem-solving skills in relationships. It may also manage obstacles, frustrations, and discomfort.
To help reduce your chance of getting PMS, take the following steps:
- Manage stress.
- Eat a healthful diet, one that is low in saturated fat and rich in whole grains , fruits, and vegetables .
- Consume less refined sugar, salt, and caffeine.
- Do regular aerobic exercise.

Second in a five-part seriesThe series so far: A terrified mother, Leticia Gutierrez, consents to brain surgery for her young son to alleviate his worsening epilepsy. When she meets Dr. David Donahue, head of neurosurgery at Cook Childrens Medical Center in Fort Worth, he is not at all what she expectedTuesday, April 27 After a sleepless night, Leticia Gutierrez carries her young son through the predawn to the family car. She keeps 6-year-old Roberto on her lap instead of strapping him into the back seat, because on this day, the day of his long-dreaded brain surgery, the mother wants to hold him for every last second.Her fiance, a construction worker named John, is behind the wheel for the short drive from their home in west Fort Worth. A block from Cook Children's Medical Center, the reality of Roberto's looming operation becomes too much.Leticia starts to cry and pleads with John to turn around."I can't do this," Leticia says. "Let's go home."But the epileptic seizures that have afflicted Roberto since he was a toddler have become more frequent and violent. Medication is less and less effective. For any respite, doctors say the only real option is to try to cut out the short-circuiting parts of the boy's brain, part of a multisurgery process that is scheduled to start that morning."You know he needs this," John says, driving on.Inside the hospital a few minutes later, nurses and technicians hurry in and out of the room where Leticia, her fiance, and other friends and relatives gather around the drowsy boy. Leticia's pastor blesses Roberto, and he is placed on a gurney. Leticia fidgets in her chair, crossing and uncrossing her legs, feeling lightheaded, like she will collapse if she stands up. Seconds before Roberto is wheeled away, Leticia finally makes it to her feet, weeping again as she says goodbye to the youngest of her four children."We'll take real good care of him," nurse Abby Morse says.Intense focusAs brain surgeries go, that day's operation on Roberto is not considered particularly risky. Dr. David Donahue, head of neurosurgery at the Fort Worth children's hospital, will perform a craniotomy, removing a section of the boy's skull and then placing a grid of electrodes against Roberto's brain. Electrode grid placement is a procedure that Donahue has done scores of times. If all goes well, he will be in and out of the operating room in a few hours.But no brain surgery is routine. No matter the procedure, it is always delicate and humbling, involving hours of intense focus as Donahue works within millimeters of arteries and nerves and cerebral tissue that control human function.From the time of his childhood, Donahue had been a cautious person, a worrier, and as a surgeon that has not changed. He has also never been able to shrug off the tragic aspects of his profession. His longtime surgical assistant, Rosa Leos, will always remember the surgery about eight years earlier when Donahue lost a young patient on the operating table, the only time in his long career that has happened.The patient was a boy less than a year old who had been injured in a fall. During that operation, to repair the boy's head injuries, unexpected bleeding started from a large vessel in the brain. Ultimately, there was nothing Donahue could do."He apologized to the staff for not being able to save the child's life," said Leos, who has worked beside Donahue for 11 years. "He was probably thinking, 'Was there anything I could have done differently to save the child?' He took it hard for a long time."So even after three decades and thousands of procedures, Donahue spends the quiet hours before his operations in his Fort Worth home, alone in the middle of the night, brooding over brain scans on his laptop or rereading journal articles. He will go to bed at 9 p.m. sharp, then wake up and study. More than once, Donahue's wife, Angela, has found him asleep in a chair or on a sofa with a medical textbook open on his chest.The night before Roberto's surgery is no different. Donahue stirs awake, and surgical risks associated with even a relatively simple procedure crowd into his consciousness. While performing the craniotomy, a surgeon could drill too far and damage the brain. While removing the section of skull he could tear a big vein that could cause a child to bleed to death. These things were highly unlikely, but possible. If the worst comes to pass and Donahue hasn't thought about it beforehand, he will not be as ready to respond.Donahue rises for good at 6 a.m. and eats his regular breakfast of fruit, an English muffin and decaf coffee with lots of cream and sugar. It is just before 8 when he pushes through the door of Operating Room No. 5 on the hospital's second floor, wearing scrubs and a surgical cap, a brown backpack dangling over his shoulder.Leos has just finished shaving Roberto's head. The boy lies anesthetized on the operating table next to a monkey made out of a sock."That's a good look for him," Morse, the OR nurse, says of Roberto's new haircut."I think so," Leos says. "It's almost summertime.""We ought to have an outdoor operating room today -- it's so pretty," Donahue says, removing his laptop and a camera from his backpack. "We could have a bunch of people standing around with flypaper to suck away all the bugs."Members of the team smile at the surgeon's remark, a typically offhand Donahue comment that seems to come from nowhere. They return to a familiar preoperative choreography. Nurse anesthetist Oscar Fimbres inserts a breathing tube into Roberto's throat and attaches the young patient to several intravenous lines. Nurses place foam padding beneath Roberto's arms and legs, then drape his body and most of his head in a sterile blue sheet.Donahue flips open his laptop and moves to the operating table, where he bends over Roberto's head, carefully adjusting it on a support that extends from the table. Once satisfied, he takes up his camera and snaps off several photographs of his supine patient, part of Donahue's own pre-surgery ritual.Leos sterilizes Roberto's head with a yellow solution. With a felt-tip marker, Donahue etches a wavy line across the boy's scalp, because a wavy incision tends to heal better, and the scar will be less obvious when Roberto's hair grows back. The surgical team turns its attention to Morse, who notes the time and the patient's name, and confirms that the procedure is a neuro-grid placement. That part of the surgical process is mandated by law to avoid catastrophic mix-ups."I agree," Donahue and the others say unison.Before he takes up a scalpel, there is another decision to make."Did you bring your iPod?" Morse asks Donahue."Yeah, plug in some music," Donahue says. "Drown out all this whining."It is another wry poke at his surgical team, who almost never complain."What are you feeling like this morning? Steely Dan?""Steely Dan sounds good," Donahue says.The surgery beginsLeaning over Roberto's head, Donahue makes a long incision from one side to the other, tracing the wavy mark with the scalpel. Working across the operating table, Leos dabs at the blood with white gauze."I was never good at staying in the lines," Donahue says, humming along with Steely Dan.The incision complete, Leos peels the scalp from the skull and folds it back, revealing bone, smooth and off-white. She holds the scalp back with a series of hooks and rubber bands attached to the sterile sheet that covers the patient. She hands Donahue a drill that the surgeon uses to bore four small holes in the corners of Roberto's skull."You have blood ready?" Donahue says."We have two units," Morse says."Good."Using a different attachment on the drill, Donahue slices horizontally through the skull, then vertically, connecting the four holes. When finished, the surgeon pries off a thin, rounded, 3-inch-square piece of Roberto's skull, which he hands to a nurse, who wraps it in a damp sponge and places it in a plastic tray near the operating table.The removed section of skull exposes a grayish membrane, the dura. Cerebrospinal fluid seeps out when Donahue makes an incision, which Leos suctions away. Donahue uses surgical scissors to clip a 2-inch-long slit in the membrane, carefully feeling his way beneath the dura to avoid cutting nerves and vessels. In the process, he uncovers a small part of Roberto's brain, pulsing and white, traversed by a delicate network of red vessels."It's beautiful. It's incredible," Donahue says. "This is a screwed-up brain, and it's still beautiful."Inserting the electrodesDr. Angel Hernandez enters the operating room. A tall man, he towers over Donahue as he takes a place at his shoulder. It was Hernandez, a neurologist and head of Cook Children's epilepsy unit, who diagnosed Roberto more than five years before with a rare genetic disorder called tuberous sclerosis. Noncancerous growths called tubers irritate the surrounding tissue in Roberto's brain, triggering his seizures."He would be walking and then just drop down," Hernandez says. "He's worn a helmet, but as hard as she tried, his mother couldn't keep an eye on him all the time."As Donahue clips open the dura, a nurse removes plastic, color-coded strips of electrodes from cardboard boxes. Long white leads dangle from each strip, 10 in all. Donahue lifts the dura and gently coaxes the grids beneath, resting them against the brain. Hernandez sketches the electrodes' position in a small notebook.The grid placement takes less than an hour. When they are in place, Donahue lightly massages Roberto's brain, feeling the big tuber on the left side just below the surface."It feels like a rock," he says. "This kid has rocks in his head."Members of his team roll their eyes. Typical Donahue."How's the blood loss?" Donahue asks.Fimbres, the nurse anesthetist monitoring the surgery from Roberto's feet, replies that it was minimal."Good," Donahue says.They are ready to close. Donahue and Leos stitch the dura, closing it around the protruding white leads. The section of skull is retrieved, put back in place and secured to the rest of the skull with a series of screws. The leads stick out from the edge of the skull flap. Leos punches holes in Roberto's scalp, threading the white wires through the holes.When the scalp is folded down and sutured, the sleeping boy looks like a character from an old horror film, with the leads streaming out of his head like thick strands of hair. In the intensive care unit, the leads will be attached to monitors. Then the doctors will wait for the seizures to resume."The general anesthetic will protect him for a while, but he's been taken off his anti-seizure medication," Donahue says. "I hope he starts seizing tonight, or soon. We got good coverage [with the electrodes]. It will be fascinating."Two hours after the surgery began, Roberto is wheeled from the operating room. Leos extinguishes the intense lights over the operating table."Thanks, everybody," Donahue says."Doctor, it was an honor and a pleasure to serve you," Fimbres says, smiling while removing his mask.As the others leave, Donahue sits down on the floor of the OR, leaning against a wall, dictating surgical notes into a telephone. The janitorial staff moves in to gather up bloody bandages and gauze and mop the bloody floor.Donahue finishes his dictation and chats with the janitors, clearly pleased that the procedure has gone smoothly."Let's go talk to the family," he says.'He did fine'In the three hours since her son was taken away, Leticia Gutierrez goes back and forth to the chapel, and her heart stops every time the telephone rings in the waiting room. It's the nurse, Abby Morse, calling Roberto's mother with hourly updates.At 10:30 a.m., Morse calls with the news that Roberto is out of surgery. But the mother's heart thunders when she sees Donahue appear through the door of the waiting room, still in his surgical garb. Oh my God, she thinks. How did it go? What will he say? But the surgeon is obviously happy and relaxed.Leticia sighs with relief."He'll be in recovery for a little while," he says."Everything went smooth then?" Leticia asks."Yes. Pretty dull," Donahue says. "He did fine. We'll monitor him really close, and as soon as we get the seizures, we'll do the other operation. We've done all the opening and heavy lifting. Now we just have to do the fine stuff.""So the major stuff is out of the way?" a relative asks."It's all major," Donahue says, smiling. "If they don't think it's major, they can't charge you enough. But anyway, he should be good. We'll just have to watch him. Bleeding and stuff like that can louse us up.""As long as you're keeping an eye on him," Leticia says."Don't worry," Donahue says. "Thank you for letting us take care of him. See you guys."Leticia slumps back into her seat in the waiting room, relieved and exhausted. She didn't know it then, but it is just the beginning of a long and difficult week for the mother, her son and the surgeon trying to fix his brain.Tim Madigan, 817-390-7544
For much of April, Star-Telegram reporter Tim Madigan and photographer Ron Ennis shadowed Dr. David Donahue, head of neurosurgery at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth. Madigan and Ennis were given total access to Donahue as he performed surgeries and met with his young patients and their families at the hospital. In His Care: A Surgeon's Story chronicles one particularly difficult week during that time, days that tested Donahue's surgical skills and brought forth echoes of a tragedy in his own past.

My son's favorite food is pot pie and "complains" he does not get enough of it. Couple that reason with my in-law's visiting and needing an impressive dish, I used my leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and made this BIG pot pie. This definitely was a "wow" dish. The crust is downright beautiful, with its many deep layers that resemble puff pastry. It cuts beautifully and best of all you can make it in advance. Don't let the long instructions deter you. I make a lot of pot-pies and it really didn't take too much longer and the amount it makes is worth it.I did do a few shortcuts and it made it simpler and not as daunting.

The Hotel is just average. Nothing good stands out. a few bad things that stand out are the Breakfast. It is less than average, Hopefully the opening of the restaurant will help out with this. The Wifi Internet, I could not connect to my office server because of how slow it is. Reminds me of Dial-up."
It served as the location of one of the main event for Québec en toutes lettres. Venue was great for event. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Great central location."
Great hotel, Great location. Only complaint they give you no soap at all, and the liquid soap in the bathroom sink doesn't clean one finger"
The unfortunate part was that I got in at almost 1am due ti delayed flight therefore I never had the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the hotel and area."
I've stayed at the Gouverneur before and the rooms are always clean and the hotel is safe. It's within walking distance of everywhere I like to hang in Montreal including Chinatown, the Gay Village and the Latin Quarter. I'm not into posh and I prefer to be close to the clubs and the urban scene. That's why I like the Gouverneur. Oh and also the views of the city are great."
grest location, walking distance from crescent streeth, st-LAurent streeth, bell center, etc...."
front desk seemed disinterested. - room was small. view was of a wall. - bed was comfy - wet carpet near the air conditioner. might be mold under - small washroom...you could rest your arm on the sink while on the toilet. - very dark."
It was only one night but was very nice. Was immediately upgraded to a very nice room which was lovely. The rooms smelled of cigarettes though even though we specifically booked a non-smoking hotel. This should be strictly enforced with a fine added to the credit card on file after checking out. Rooms are cleaned after people check out, should be easy to fine culprits because it looks very bad on the otherwise lovely hotel with great service. The girl at reception was amazing and so friendly."
Clean rooms. Lots of hot water. Decent breakfast. Friendly front desk staff. Overall enjoyed our stay."
Great hotel. pool cold and coffee like dishwater. Service in dining room excellent."
I had a fabulous stay at this hotel. The room was comfortable and spacious with great views. The staff were attentive and pleasant. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others."
Our favorite place to stay for a Canucks game. Great location near Rogers Arena, secure parking, excellent hotel with a very friendly staff."

Becoming Aware of Your Thoughts And Getting The Results You Want With Hypnotherapy
By Ava Evans, C.Ht.
In becoming more aware of your thought process and not just allowing those runaway negative beliefs to run your life, you are actually taking more control of your life. Many people believe that they alone have this out of control mindset that they cannot manage. The fact is that most people have what I refer to as the "crazy roommate" living up stairs in our minds. That is the voice of fear, worry, and compulsive thinking which takes us right down the rabbit hole and into that place where we are feeling anxious and uncomfortable.
With the use of cognitive behavior therapy and hypnotherapy, anxiety and worry can be tamed and controlled. The truth is that they are learned behaviors. Over the years I have seen hundreds of clients who came in feeling anxious, some with full-blown panic attacks going to the ER thinking they were having heart attacks. Many of these are young people in their 20's. They are told by the ER doctors, "Your heart is fine; you are having a panic attack." They are shocked and confused, and when they find their way into my office, many times they feel that this is their last option. They have tried the pills and the Doctors and unfortunately they have not had any relief.
It is true that everyone is different. One client could have a negative pattern that was learned from an anxious parent. Thus we work on that specifically. Another client may have had a trauma and does not feel safe in the world. Whatever the reason for the anxiety, compulsive thinking, or fear, it begins and ends with our thoughts. It's not what happens, it is how we handle what happens.
The truth is most of us have a running conversation going on with ourselves a good part of the time. Unfortunately, there times when you converse with yourself in a very negative way. The conversation depends, many times, on how you were raised and what you took in and believed about yourself. The running commentary you have with yourself you take to be fact or real, when many times it is not. Those thoughts are distortions. The Buddhists call them illusions. They are the negatives thoughts of the "crazy roommate".
So what can you do to help tame those scary thoughts? It takes commitment, awareness, and guidance. What I say to my clients is, "If you can scare yourself with that amazing imagination, you can learn to calm, comfort and relax yourself as well".
Hypnosis is an important element because it is so powerful and accesses the subconscious mind so beautifully that the work goes much deeper allowing the results to manifest more quickly.

If you're going to use videos in marketing collateral, think outside the proverbial box…especially if you run an ecommerce or retail operation. I have a few ideas to increase your customer engagement now and especially around the holidays. Considering that 75% of viewers visit a company's website after watching a video (Digital Marketing Sherpa, 2014), it makes sense to get a little creative with video messaging.
Segment First
Let's face it…we're all on the clock, and we have to find the most efficient way of doing things. The best way to use videos in marketing (in my opinion anyway) is to start by segmenting your customers. Of course, you should apply this to all marketing strategies. But start with grouping customers into product categories based on previous purchases. Most of your customers will be on my lists. By now, you should have data that tells you what your customers are buying and when. Use it when segmenting. Have as many segmented lists as needed.
Link Products
Once you have your segmented lists, add specific products. Take advantage of your CRM to keep data in one place. Easy enough. So for a gal like me, you'll have me in the baby/toddler category. So you would probably add products like winter clothes, toddler toys, etc.
Create Those Snazzy Videos
Now the fun begins. You actually get to create the videos to showcase these products for your segmented lists. You can go the professional route, but honestly, I like the more organic, homegrown videos. It's more personable, especially coming from a small to medium sized operation. Surely there are other shoppers who like feeling connected to where I shop…where everyone knows my name and "get me." So, my advice, don't spend thousands doing this unless you have a really talented person on staff. Then go for it.
There are several types of videos you could use.
· Slideshows of pictures you've taken of the product. Those are good and pretty easy to create.
· Shooting custom message with videos on location. This is my favorite because it is more personal. Get a team member (preferably the manager or owner of your operation) to go on camera talking about the products, next to the products. You're connected "one-on-one" with the viewer, but you're also showing customers (if you have a brick and mortar), where the product is in store!
Ready, Set, Go!
Now you're ready to put it all together and actually send a video newsletter. You could use your email provider, or you could go with the pros at Inviter. They specialize in mass video newsletters. Sign up (three pricing options for businesses), upload your segmented lists, create an event (your newsletter for each segment), upload your video, schedule, and you're done. It's that easy.
Parting Words: Frequency
My last bit of advice on this. Do this as often as you want, but for sure during the upcoming holiday season. Start planning for Black Friday and Cyber Monday now. I would send promotional video newsletters Thanksgiving Day (and eve for that matter) and several weeks right before Christmas. Then use your judgment on sales cycles throughout the rest of year.
